-This library (com.android.media.remotedisplay.jar) is a shared java library
+There are two libraries defined in this directory:
+First, com.android.media.remotedisplay.jar is a shared java library
 containing classes required by unbundled remote display providers.
+Second, com.android.media.remotedisplay.stubs.jar is a stub for the shared
+library which provides build-time APIs to the unbundled clients.
+
+At runtime, the shared library is added to the classloader of the app via the
+<uses-library> tag. And since Java always tries to load a class from the
+parent classloader, regardless of whether the stub library is linked to the
+app statically or dynamically, the real classes are loaded from the shared
+library.
 
 --- Rules of this library ---
-o This library is effectively a PUBLIC API for unbundled remote display providers
+o The stub library is effectively a PUBLIC API for unbundled remote display providers
   that may be distributed outside the system image. So it MUST BE API STABLE.
   You can add but not remove. The rules are the same as for the
   public platform SDK API.
