i started a thread on build issues a while back, and no longer have it available here. i remember a reply from Romain saying that ant handled dependencies.
i don't think it does, and i know that javac doesn't do either. unless a .java file is itself dirty, it is not recompiled. i just tested this and the build process built an apk which crashed on startup with a verify error - a nonexistent method being called by an out of date .class file. also, class files built from nonexistent java files are never removed, and i've had a few situations where the apk contained resources that were in an inconsistent state - and which then crashed the runtime. given the general size of Android applications, i suggest again that the process remove all old products before starting to the build. currently i always rm -rf bin/* gen/* to make sure, but it shouldn't be necessary IMHO. -- jason.software.particle --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
