The Eclipse plugin source code is available. If you are familar with RCP development, import this plugin into Eclipse. The plugin monitors resources in projects that have an Android nature and will regenerate the R file whenever a change is made to res/ folder resources. I think in order for you to achieve what you want, you will have to add a custom eclipse nature to your project (that the autogenerator plugin will look for -- currently it will look for Android nature and that is not what you want). Customize the plugin to generate the R file. You will also have to write a layer that does the actual resource loading. Android creates a binary format of everything in the res directory that then gets shoved into the .apk. You will have to write a layer that actually retrieves the Image or String that application code can then call like the sample api below:
Resource.getImage(R.drawable.youImage); Resource.getString(R.string.sampleString); Its a good idea that you have. I don't think it would be terribly hard to do what you are trying to achieve. I do agree that the generation of a static class that can be referenced in application code is nice (removes the dependencies on mistyping) and makes resource loading such as images a synch. Good luck. Nik On May 20, 7:00 am, Johan de Koning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I really like the R.java file as reference to the resource strings > (arrays etc) inside the XML files.
