I don't fully understand how your jar file is organized. Does it contain the res/values/strings.xml files for various languages? (.../values-de/..., etc.?) Does packaging into a apk file work properly with your structure? Why not keep everything in the structure, but copy the language- specific directories in and out of the build path (through a (ant) script) just as desired?

Hi Peli, the 'i18n-string'-project just contains a couple of res-folders: /res /strings/ /strings-de/ /strings-fr/ The original project (which now lacks all String-resources) completely fails to compile. I'm doing this, because I want to host the 'i18n-string'-project on a separate svn-location with public access, so people can easily contribute new translations. Copying in and out the res folder would lead to confusion and very probably copy-paste errors. =( Best Regards, Nicolas On 27 Jan., 10:46, Peli wrote: > I don't fully understand how your jar file is organized. > > Does it contain the res/values/strings.xml files for various > languages?

[android-developers] Re: i18n - Extracting String-Resources to a Jar - Referencing problem
So you're saying that you moved the string resources out of your project, and now other resources that are referencing those strings are now failing? If so, that is what I would expect. :} The new aapt in Cupcake allows you to specify multiple paths to search for resource definitions; you could trying using that, and changing it to point to both your app's resources and your external string resources. That would of course require having your own build ant script or whatever.

Yes it seems like this (sadly) is not possible. Sounds like I have to do copy-pasting for now :( Best Regards, plusminus On 27 Jan., 12:50, Dianne Hackborn wrote: > So you're saying that you moved the string resources out of your project, > and now other resources that are referencing those strings are now failing? > If so, that is what I would expect. :} > > The new aapt in Cupcake allows you to specify multiple paths to search for > resource definitions; you could trying using that, and changing it to point > to both your app's resources and your external string resources.
