Answer 1

First you have to put you jar into /libs Then check if your app manage libs : right click-> android Tools -> Add library support

Then, just add a classical activity in your manifest link to you activity:

<activity android:name="com.xxx.yyyyy.zzzzz"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:noHistory="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
