How to include the Spongy Castle JAR in Android?

Apparently Spongy Castle is the Android alternative to using a full version of Bouncy Castle.

However, on importing the jar I'm getting all kinds of "cannot be resolved" errors because it relies on packages not included with Android, primarily javax.mail, javax.activation, and javax.awt.datatransfer.

So what's the best way around this? Responses to this question and this indicate those packages shouldn't be used at all, and this popular question doesn't even consider finding a way to get AWT back. So how is Spongy Castle relying on them? People are using Spongy Castle, right?

In the meanwhile BouncyCastle can be used directly. In later Android versions the internal BC package name has changed and at least the package name collision is not the problem anymore, but there are still issues. For a solution look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57897224/3351474
