I know Android app can call .so plugins, for example, game console emulators can call .so plugins to emulate different platform. I'm not sure whether plugins in jar format can also be called.

Another way is to use script languages to write plugins.

I know Android app can call .so plugins,

they must be included in a java wrapper.

Just adding .so Files will not do anything.
Adding jar files will not do anything too if you do not write code to use that jar.

The plugin calling interface protocol must be defined at first normally and the plugins are developped according to that framework so the main app knows how to call it. For example could be only 3 funcs defined with exact same func name as init(), process(), free(). The Android retro game emulator can load and call a .so file directly in any directory. I assume .jar can also be loaded dynamically.
