it workes!

i did it this way:
1. first thing is to have the full library-project.
2. then i copied the whole library-project.
3. in the copy, i removed the source code.
4. in the app-project i added the source-less-library-project as android 
library (to get the R class with all the ids, which really aren't 
"final", and the other resources)
5. in the app-project i added the .jar file with all the binary classes 
from the full library-project, which was generated automatically (or by 
running "Project/Clean...") by eclipse as external jar-file.
6. the app coming out of the app-project was fully working!

so it seems, that you have to split up source code an resources from a 
library-project and add them separated (and on different places) from 
each other to the app-project.

Warescription seems to be a good idea.
but how can i read any of the books offline?
and what will happen, when the subscription ends?
do i have access to the latest editions of the books that was actual 
when subscription ended?

ok, so this topic is handled in this edition in detail?
that would be great.

ok, understood.
anyway, i have to start with converting my current app-project to a 
library project.
maybe the next Android SDK update comes soon enough to help me avoid the 
thiings you said.

thanks a lot for pointing me to the right direction.

you mean i should replace for example all
R.layout.identifier_1
to
getResources().getIdentifier("identifier_1", "layout", 
"full.package.name"); ?

is it this book you are talking about?

is the 2nd edition offered by amazon.de new enough?

like any usual library project.

would a Project/Clean... build from eclipse also produce the required 
jar? (menu "Project", menu-entry "Clean..." in eclipse)

i tried this whith the TicTacToeLib example from 
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/TicTacToeLib/index.html
and it produced a file tictactoelib.jar under bin directory in the 
TicTacToeLib project.
this contains only .class files.

would that be the required jar file?

ok, understood.

ok, how soon whould you expect?
hours?
days?
weeks?
months?
years?

i ask, because i have the order to build a SDK out of my app code

and i can't let my boss wait too long. ;-)

but as you said, i first have to create an Android library project 
including everything anyway.
so i can start with this.

or will that step not be necessary any more, when official support for 
library-projects-as-JARs will be available?

[android-developers] how to distribute a Library Project WITHOUT source code (as jar file) as some sort of SDK?

2012-01-26 Thread Klier Rainer 
hi android-developers,

i am trying to convert my existing (and working) app project into 2 
projects.
the first project (a library project) should act as a kind of SDK.
the second project should use the first and make the original app.

my goal is to be able to distribute the first project only as binary 
(WITHOUT source code) to other developers, so they can make their own 
apps with it.
the second project should also be distributed as example or reference 
implementation how to use the first project.

this way, i am using my own SDK to build my app again, and offer the SDK 
in binary-only-form to other developrs, so they can use it to build 
their apps.

Android library projects seem the perfect way for this.

BUT, i found (and tried) out, that it is not possible to pack the class 
files of the source code and the used resources (ids, layouts, 
images,) and the "R" class pointing to the resources into one jar 
file (or any other archive).

here is, what i read on:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/projects/index.html

"You cannot export a library project to a JAR file

A library cannot be distributed as a binary file (such as a JAR file). 
This will be added in a future version of the SDK Tools."


the only way is to supply the whole source code of the library project 
and let the second project use/reference to this source library project.

but i don't want/can give away my source code.


what is the best way how i can workaround this limitation?
has anybody of you a solution/trick/workaraound for this?

thanks in advance.

i think you forgot to add the Empnfo ei to the request.
i don't know what Empnfo is, but generally string properties are added 
to requests like this:

request.addProperty("name", value);

for non-string types it is done like this:

info = new PropertyInfo();
info.setName("name of property like in XML");
info.setValue(Object);
info.setType(Object.getClass());
Request.addProperty(info)
