No. It is not possible. The restrictions are part of the APK specification at this point, this may change in the future. > I would like to be able to create sub folders in raw and drawable > resource locations, as it allows for better management of large amount > of images/files, and/or easier transforming of Java desktop > applications to Android applications, and back. You could write an ANT target that pulls all the resources from some nested directory structure and flatten them into the raw/drawable folder at compile-time. You could work-around namespaces by prefixing the destination file names with the directory path they used to reside in, e.g. imgs/menu/item/file.png becomes... drawable/imgs_menu_item_file.png Hope this helps, Sean --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
