I looked into Library Projects, but I am not sure if that helps me. I assume I would put the Activity in the library, since it is what is used by each "app". However, that Activity relies on String values from res/values/strings. Each "app" will have different strings. Therefore the activity calls R.string.something to get the string from the resource.
In order to make each app its own unique app, I need to change the "package" attribute of <manifest> element in the AndroidManifest.xml. This has the unfortunate side effect of generating the R class with the app's custom package name. Therefore, when the Activity common code base tries to look up a string using the R class, it cannot find the class since it has a different package name. At this point I am thinking about creating an Ant target to replace the package name in R.java. However, I feel like there has to be a better way. Am I overlooking something? Can this be accomplished with libraries?
