You can't (right now). android.jar is special because these are the framework resources that exist on the device. Android.jar is not bundled with your project's code and resources, and the resources in android.jar are not part of your application's R class.
A Jar with resources that is meant to be added to an existing project needs to be able to merge its resources with the project's own resources. This impacts the resources ID generated in the project's R class in a way that makes the R.*.* ID used to compile the jar obsolete. Since those constants are inlined, any code in the jar file that reference the resources will be broken as the IDs are different in the final APK. This is why the library projects in the SDK are source only. I'm working on a solution that may fix this but no ETA at the moment.
