Re: [android-developers] Don't mix Ant and Eclipse!
Kostya, could you give us some details on how you did that? I run ant and eclipse side by side and run into issues where I need to do clean rebuilds in one after I had worked in the other. It can be annoying. On Friday, May 11, 2012 5:17:09 AM UTC-4, Kostya Vasilyev wrote: Jacob, Eclipse and Ant builds use the same working directories by default, I'm sure you've already found this out.

Re: [android-developers] Don't mix Ant and Eclipse!
Try putting out.dir=your_ant_bin_directory in ant.properties or build.properties (one is old and the other is new, I always forget which is which). With this set I never had a problem with a corrupted build, although I do find that Eclipse builds fail to update the generated Build class. That is, if I build release with ant (so the generated class has Build.DEBUG==false) then go to Eclipse and build debug I get a debug binary with conditional features corresponding to a release build. Come to think of it (and re-reading Kostya's post) this would probably be fixed if I set ant to use its own gen/ directory, too - which I'm not sure how to do at the moment.

[android-developers] Don't mix Ant and Eclipse!
Firstly thank you Android build system engineers for adding incremental building to the build system, this is a hard problem and your work here is appreciated. Now on to the major issue I just spent the evening debugging: When you combine eclipse with the command line Ant build you may get runtime errors in your APK! If you are using eclipse and it can't build one of your library projects because the java source has compilation errors Eclipse will go ahead and make class files anyway! The methods in these class files will be filled with junk like: throw new Error(Unresolved compilation problem: \n); If you then go ahead and build the same project with Ant in the commandline, the new incremental checks in the Android Ant build script will see that it is already been compiled, skip that step and use these class files in the generated APK. Resulting in runtime errors. Jacob Abrams -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.
