With Android, you can't just take a .jar from a Java library and use it in an Android application. Android uses the Dalvik JVM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)) which is not 100% compatible with the full API from the Java SE API, and instead only supports a subset of the API. For this reason, many of the Java libraries you might be use to, like FOP, are not Android compatible as-is and require specialization before such libraries will function properly on an Android device. Good luck.
