(Android™) Verify XML Signature with External Data Reference

Demonstrates how to verify an XML digital signature where the data is external. In this case, the data is a JPG file.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.69 or greater.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
