Hello William, Which android maven plugin do you use? Have you tried to use android library projects? I tried one a couple of months ago without much success.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Request: Don't make us use Ant
It is very easy to move to ANT build script. I spent 30 mins to setup ANT build script for one of my projects. And for others, I just copy the build.xml and some properties files. The only change is the project name and external jars. BTW, when I was using ANT in a couple of projects, dexopt crashed several times by reporting sth like heap overflow. But I could compile it without any problem by Eclipse. On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 2:57 PM, Indicator Veritatis mej1...@yahoo.comwrote: What, specifically, went wrong?

groupIdcom.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2/groupId artifactIdmaven-android-plugin/artifactId version2.5.2/version No library projects at present. But i expect that will change in the next couple of months. I don't expect to have much trouble though as others using the plugin claim to be building library projects.

[android-developers] Re: Request: Don't make us use Ant
What, specifically, went wrong? Client / server apps will probably have dependent projects/libraries/jars for common code. That all works in Eclipse, but will go wrong with Ant unless you modify it.

[android-developers] Re: Request: Don't make us use Ant
Not sure if you're asking for help on building with ant, but...
I have an ANT build script which references external jar files (Flurry
and my own external jar) and uses proguard for obfuscation, plus deals
with incompatibilities between the Sun JDK and java generics.
I'll agree it IS a real pain to get working, but having an ANT script
is ultimately a better solution IMO.
If you look at the default build script you should see a comment like
this:
This is macro that enable passing variable list of external jar files
to ApkBuilder... Example of use:
Just look for the extra-jars tag. In my build script it looks like
this:
extra-jars
jarfile path=libs/FlurryAgent.jar /
jarfile path=libs/ro-core.jar /
/extra-jars
ro-core.jar is my own jar while FlurryAgent.jar is well.. Flurry. If
your eclipse project is referencing other eclipse projects, then just
create a small ANT script to build jar files for these other projects.
If your other projects are actually Android Library projects, then I
think you may have some problems as I don't believe the ANT approach
will work with Library Projects.
Some useful references:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/other-ide.html
http://www.androidengineer.com/2010/07/optimizing-obfuscating-and-shrinking.html
And with proguard just make sure you add the relevant -keep
statements to the config. I found I had to explicitly reference inner
classes, particularly for Resources but this is probably just my
knowledge of Proguard which is lacking. So my proguard config has
things like:
-keep public class com.carboncrystal.ro.R$drawable {fields;}
-keep public class com.carboncrystal.ro.R$layout {fields;}
I'm sure there's probably a way to auto-include inner classes in a
proguard keep declaration, but I couldn't find it.
Also if you are using any native code (which I am) that calls back to
java (which I do), then you need to make sure you keep any Java
class/method/field names which are called from native code otherwise
all your JNI bindings will barf.
Like I said, it's a pain to setup but once it's working I think it's
much better.
