[android-developers] Re: branding existing app
themes don't quite seem to handle what's needed. i have one application or project that i want to deploy as 2 applications. build as app a, then build as app b. i can easily copy in / out a different resource folder, but that doesn't handle the application package. each app in the store needs a different package. my app code uses the namespace, org.bnb for the classes, but i want to deploy for Bob's Bed n Breakfast and for Sue's Bed and Breakfast, com.bbnb and com.sbnb. Android seems to use the package name as the application name (from the manifest). i've been able to override thus far the package name that the R class uses, but when i try to run, the other classes seem to want to come from the manifest package naming. ar. any help on this is most appreciated. android could use an app name and keep that separate from the code naming.

Re: [android-developers] Re: branding existing app
You're looking to have two apps with the same code base, different package / app name. Releasing two apks. The only way I see this likely is to use two different projects with a core library containing the code that you'd like to reuse. sent from my mobile thoughts.

Oh. I was confused with your talk of branding. each app in the store needs a different package. my app code uses the namespace, org.bnb for the classes, but i want to deploy for Bob's Bed n Breakfast and for Sue's Bed and Breakfast, com.bbnb and com.sbnb.

Create a base library project that has all the core code. Then derive a new app / project / brand that uses that library project with a new package name for each version you want. - TreKing http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
