Hi Dianne,
Can you clarify what that mechanism is? I tried adding the last to lines to
the and target that generates the resource classes. There isn't much
documentation, so I am not sure if I am using the correct parameters.
<!-- Generates the R.java file for this project's resources. -->
<target name="-resource-src" depends="-dirs">
<echo>Custom Generating R.java / Manifest.java from the
resources...</echo>
<exec executable="${aapt}" failonerror="true">
<arg value="package" />
<arg line="${v.option}" />
<arg value="-m" />
<arg value="-J" />
<arg path="${gen.absolute.dir}" />
<arg value="-M" />
<arg path="AndroidManifest.xml" />
<arg value="-S" />
<arg path="${resource.absolute.dir}" />
<arg value="-I" />
<arg path="${android.jar}" />
<arg value="--rename-manifest-package"/>
<arg value="com.mybase.app"/> <!-- THIS IS THE PACKAGE NAME I WANT
R.java to have -->
</exec>
</target>
