I'm developing a family of applications that have a lot of functionality in common. In eclipse, I have a "core" project with all the base functionality. Each individual application project has this core project on its build path, so it can use the functionality offered by the core project.
This works fine for code: the android eclipse plugin packages all code in the .apk files of the application projects, so each application apk file is then a self-contained application. However, I also want to reuse the resources that are used by the core project, like layouts and images. The "core" project is an android project with resources, but these resources are not packaged automatically in the application projects. In a perfect world, the "core" resources would be merged in the application project seamlessly, even updating R.java in the application project when a core resource changed. I understand this is probably too much to hope for, and I might end up juggling two "R" classes in my application: the core R in one package and the application R in another package. Outside of eclipse I can see how this might work: I package both sets of resources in the apk file, and with two AssetManager (and Resources) instances manage the two sets of resources. Or maybe I use ant to first create a single distribution by merging the core and application project files into a single directory, and then build the apk like you would do when there is only a single project. Is there some way to trick eclipse into packaging both "core" and "application" resources files into one .apk file? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
