Hi, Very useful information, thanks! Got everything to work nicely, one quick question:
I use Eclipse, not GNU make. I noticed Android.mk for LatinIME specifies a "-0 .dict" aapt flag (I'm guessing "store uncompressed"). Is there some way to do the same while using the Eclipse builder? Right now I'm manually fudging the generated APK (zip -d ime.apk res/ raw/main.dict; zip -0 ime.apk res/raw/main.dict) before signing, but I'd like to do this as part of the build process (makes testing a bit tedious). Thanks!
