Ok, here's what I did. Seems to be working now, but someone please let me know if it will cause problems later.
In my manifest, I specified each activity's full path, rather than a relative path: ie <activity android:name="com.google.code.Activity"> versus <activity android:name=".Activity"> In my manifest, I have a base package name, this is where the R gets generated, ie: <manifest package="com.google.code.package"> Then, for each build of the app I create, I modify the package attribute, ie: <manifest package="com.google.code.package.a">, <manifest package="com.google.code.package.b">, etc. This will keep me from needing to modify any source code during my build.
