Quite simply: 1) Each project is compilable and installable on its own. But not necessary runnable ;) 2) If both project A and B have the resource files with the same name (e.g. strings.xml) I make their names unique (e.g. strings-A.xml and strings-B.xml). This is a deviation from Android "naming convention" but the compiler is happy. And me too :) 3) The same applies to resource ID's. So, if I have two strings with name "app_name" I make rename them as "app_name_a" and "app_name_b". Again both me and compiler are happy. 4) The "build" project has its own manifest and some folders. Those folders have a lots of symbolic links to appropriate resources in A and B. This approach works works fine for me. I have no code and no resource duplication.
