Hi all - I've been trying for a few days now to get our SDK Add-On upgraded to work as a 5.0.1 target with the latest AOSP drops, and I'm mostly there but there are two sticking issues I cannot resolve:
*1. Using manifest.ini vs. source.properties* Previously, our add-on only had a manifest.ini file. Upon installing the built add-on into my machine's SDK directory, it showed up as broken in the manager until I added a source.properties file with duplicate information. I figured this meant manifest.ini was fully obsolete now; however, items like display names were still being read from manifest.ini. Also, if I remove manifest.ini the add-on won't show up in the manager at all! Are both files really necessary still? If so, can someone tell me which data should be present in each so I don't have so much duplication? Here are the files I currently have in place, with the attributes used in each: *sdk/add-ons/alpha_add_on/manifest.ini:* name=Alpha Add-On name-id=alpha vendor=MyVendor vendor-id=myvendor description=… api=21 revision=1 libraries=… *sdk/add-ons/alpha_add_on/source.properties:* AddOn.NameDisplay=Alpha Add-On AddOn.NameId=alpha AddOn.VendorDisplay=MyVendor AddOn.VendorId=myvendor Pkg.Desc=… AndroidVersion.ApiLevel=21 Pkg.Revision=1 *2. Now that the Lollipop build system break the system image out from the add-on proper as a separate package, I'm trying to work out how to link the two back together when they are installed in the SDK Manager so I can create an AVD?* Overall, I like this concept as we no longer have to distribute the image packed insides the images/ directory of the add-on, but I can't create an AVD from my Add-On target since the system image isn't being located. Hunting through the AVD Manager source, it seems the tag/vendor of the source.properties for the image has to match the values set in the add-on's source.properties, but I'm still not seeing it. Here is the source.properties in our system image package: *sdk/system-images/alpha/armeabi-v7a/source.properties:* AddOn.VendorDisplay=MyVendor AddOn.VendorId=myvendor AndroidVersion.ApiLevel=21 Pkg.Desc=… Pkg.Revision=1 SystemImage.Abi=armeabi-v7a SystemImage.TagDisplay=Alpha SystemImage.TagId=alpha As a footnote, for now I'm installing these by manually unzipping them in the SDK directory to test. I'm hopefuly there isn't some new metadata in the repository XML format that is somehow required to make the linking work correctly.
