No, sorry.

You can use startActivity(), startService(), and so on to launch components of another application, but each application's code remains separate.

Answer 2

While in most cases unadvisable (Android has many APIs to solve the common problems of inter-app communication without sharing code), it's possible by using PathClassLoader.
