I'm currently trying to use the OpenMobile API which is library built-in in the android. (and not available for every device).

I'm following this tutorial to add the library to my android sdk : https://github.com/seek-for-android/pool/wiki/UsingSmartCardAPI

I have added the OpenMobile API through the SDK Manager and I now have folders in the path-to-sdk/sdk/add-ons. I'm currently using the last version of android (25) in Android Studio, and the OpenMobileAPI files located in sdk/add-ons are available for the version 21. There is no library available above 21 (see http://seek-for-android.github.io/repository/21/addon.xml).

Manifest : 

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  <application android:label="@string/app_name">

    <uses-library android:name="org.simalliance.openmobileapi" android:required="true" />

    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
      ...
    </activity>
  </application>
</manifest>

MainActivity

import org.simalliance.openmobileapi.*;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements SEService.CallBack {
  ...
  public void serviceConnected(SEService service) {
    Log.i(LOG_TAG, "seviceConnected()");
  }
}

It's written :

Build SDK: Open Mobile API (Giesecke & Devrient GmbH) (API 21)

org.simalliance is not recognised by Android Studio, so I can't use it.

How do I build the SDK so that the library class are available in Android Studio ?

Inside the Android app gradle : 

compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs', 'exclude': ['org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar'])

provided files('libs/org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar')

Manifest : In application tag add : 

<uses-library android:name="org.simalliance.openmobileapi" android:required="false" />

The provided instead of compile allow the library to be recognized and used in the code but is not compiled in the apk during the build.

Using Android Studio, this solution worked for me. First, in "File>Project Structure>SDKs" click on "+" icon and add new Android SDK by choosing "Android 5.0 Open Mobile API ...". Then go to "File>Project Structure>Modules", select your app module, in "dependencies" tab select "Android 5.0 Open Mobile API ..." for "Module SDK" option. Click OK and Android Studio resolves classes.

For gradle to work I have to copy "org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar" from add-ons of android sdk to "libs" directory of my app module, then use Kel H. answer above, by replacing "provided" to "compile" to build the project. Hope it helps.
