Android Question Use androidx aar with JavaObject?

[agraham]

I want to play with an androidx component, androidx.window
I've installed it using SDK Manager and it is there in
extras\b4a_remote\androidx\window\1.0.0-alpha09\window-1.0.0-alpha09.aar
and referenced in extras\b4a_remote\installed-components.txt as
androidx.window\:window=1.0.0-alpha09

Owing to my utter ignorance of all things androidx I can't work out if it is possible to reference it using JavaObject. I would like to start with something simple like

    Dim jo As JavaObject
    Dim t, b, l, r As Int
    t = 10
    b = 0
    l = 0
    r = 100
    jo.InitializeNewInstance("androidx.window.Bounds", Array As Object(l,t,r,b))
    Log(jo.RunMethod("getTop", Null))

But at runtime I get
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: androidx$window$Bounds
and I can't work out how to reference it or if I need to do something to include it in the apk. What stupidity am I suffering from?

Did you reference it with #additionaljar?
Tried

#additionaljar: androidx.window:window

?

Many thanks - that works, I did try #additionaljar, but I obviously got the syntax wrong by referring to the aar file name. Out of interest how does your successful syntax break down and where did you find out how to do it?

where did you find out how to do it?

based on playing in the past with different SDKs. All this is based on Examples posted by @Erel ☺

Out of interest how does your successful syntax break down

It is based on the "path" in the installed-components.txt

androidx.window\:window=1.0.0-alpha09

-> androidx.window:window
