Hi, I saw in old posts that the OEM could add internal resource in framework , so they can be able to use them with the special syntax. for example @*android:drawable/ic_toto (for .xml) android.internal.R.drawable.ic_toto ( for .java)
now it seems that the latter interface is not provided anymore in android 1.5 as well as the Donut version I'm compiling. but the former still can be used.why? is it gonna be supported in further versions? As OEM, we need to create applications with customizable resources, so the most convenient way as far as I know is to modify the private resource, as they can be used from xml scripts, and they wont cause trouble to third party application that should not use them. But I don't know how to check the res IDs in the private resources changed or not.they have no .xml file to set their index orders like the public ones. I saw in a post : "...private resource IDs are assigned dynamically, they basically change in each build of the system". So If I build a new framework-res.apk and I change some resource data, I don't know what is gonna happen to my previous applications? does this mean all of the IDs changed even if you don't add any new resource? Is there a way to check the compatibility of private resources between 2 builds, or to force them to be compatible - like in public resources we can set the order in the public.xml to keep IDs order the same. thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
