Then the next question arises since i just tried to place .jar behind the rar file and placed it on my phone. It didnt recognize it again. So how do i turn the .rar file into a .jar file properly?

Have you tried un-raring the rar file? What does it contain?

Don't unpack it. It's probably a jar file (if you can see .class files on it, then it is a jar file)

The .rar file you have is actually a .jar file. But as someone as pointed out, Windows sometimes likes to change files' extensions (happens with .jar being renamed to .zip too)

You have to REPLACE the extension from the file.

If you cant see the ".rar" part, it's because windows is hiding the extension.
So open "My Computer" then in the menu:
Tools -> Folder Options -> View (tab) -> Advanced
Now, in the first 5-10 options (checkboxes) there should an option like "hide extension for known file types". Uncheck it.

Now you should be able to see the extension from the rar file. Just REPLACE it with "jar" and send the file to the phone.

Hope it helped.
