For my setup I use ant to do release builds, eclipse to do debug
builds. I build for three markets (Google, Amazon, and direct-purchase/
beta). Each has it's own requirements (copy protection, updates, links
to other apps). I use a custom build.xml, it uses <replace> to switch
a static final int constant for what market I'm compiling against,
this handles all java "preprocessor" needs as java doesn't compile
dead code. I also use gcc's preprocessor on AndroidManifest.xml to
turn off permissions I don't need (And Eclipse builds just have all
permissions, which is fine). It's a bit limited and not perfect, but
it does the job and didn't cost much time to setup.
Here's the key parts of it, however these are for ADT13, haven't tried
to do an ant build with ADT14 yet.
Disclaimer, I don't know ant so I might be doing things awkwardly.
This is by no means a packaged solution, but an idea/example for you
to build your own system with.
Basically:
AndroidManifest.xml:
<!--
#ifdef LICENSING_MARKET
-->
<uses-permission android:name="com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE" /
>
<!--
#endif
-->
MarketHandler:
public static final int NO_LICENSING = 0;
public static final int GOOGLE = 1;
public static final int AMAZON = 2;
public static final int DIRECT = 3;
public static final int USE_MARKET = /* @MARKET_START@ */ DIRECT /
* @MARKET_END@ */;
And:
<target name="market" >
<antcall target="marketreplace">
<param name="marketparam" value="GOOGLE" />
</antcall>
<property name="preprocessor.args" value="-DLICENSING_MARKET" /
>
<property name="out.myrelease.file.name"
value="${ant.project.name}-market.apk" />
<antcall target="myrelease" />
</target>
<target name="marketreplace">
<exec vmlauncher="false" executable="sh">
<arg value="-c" />
<arg value="perl -e 's!(\@MARKET_START\@ \*/).*?(/\*
\@MARKET_END\@)!$1 ${marketparam} $2!g' -pi src/com/teslacoilsw/
tesladirect/MarketHandler.java" />
</exec>
<target name="-package-resources">
<echo>Preprocessing AndroidManifest.xml</echo>
<echo>gcc -E -x c -P -C ${preprocessor.args}
AndroidManifest.xml</echo>
<exec vmlauncher="false" executable="sh">
<arg value="-c" />
<arg value="gcc -E -x c -P -C ${preprocessor.args}
AndroidManifest.xml | sed -e '/^\s*$/d' > gen/AndroidManifest.xml" />
</exec>
