Similar to framework-res.apk, I would like to create a shareable 'myresources.apk' that will be used by other apks (myapp1.apk, myapp2.apk). All of the above can be built as part of system image.
Authors of myapp1.apk, myapp2.apk would refer to the common resources available in 'myresources.apk.' They would like to refer to the resources in myresources.apk, both from XML and the Java code from the app1, app2 etc. My understanding is, they can be referenced from XML, but not from Java. Thats why I am looking into the AssetManager.cpp, now. I can ignore, if I dont have to tweak the lower layers of platform code. thanks, -vi On Feb 17, 5:38 pm, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry I'm not understanding than what you are asking.
