DexClassLoader

public class DexClassLoader
extends BaseDexClassLoader

java.lang.Object
↳	java.lang.ClassLoader
	↳	dalvik.system.BaseDexClassLoader
		↳	dalvik.system.DexClassLoader

A class loader that loads classes from .jar and .apk files containing a classes.dex entry. This can be used to execute code not installed as part of an application.

This class loader requires an application-private, writable directory to cache optimized classes. Use Context.getCodeCacheDir() to create such a directory:

   File dexOutputDir = context.getCodeCacheDir();

Do not cache optimized classes on external storage. External storage does not provide access controls necessary to protect your application from code injection attacks.

Summary

Public constructors
`DexClassLoader(String dexPath, String optimizedDirectory, String librarySearchPath, ClassLoader parent)` Creates a `DexClassLoader` that finds interpreted and native code.

DexClassLoader

Added in API level 3

DexClassLoader (String dexPath, 
                String optimizedDirectory, 
                String librarySearchPath, 
                ClassLoader parent)

Creates a DexClassLoader that finds interpreted and native code. Interpreted classes are found in a set of DEX files contained in Jar or APK files.

The path lists are separated using the character specified by the path.separator system property, which defaults to :.

Parameters
`dexPath`	`String`: the list of jar/apk files containing classes and resources, delimited by `File.pathSeparator`, which defaults to `":"` on Android
`optimizedDirectory`	`String`: directory where optimized dex files should be written; must not be `null`
`librarySearchPath`	`String`: the list of directories containing native libraries, delimited by `File.pathSeparator`; may be `null`
`parent`	`ClassLoader`: the parent class loader
