Hi, I have an multiproject android configuration with an structure as follows
- app
- manifest
- java
- res
- library 1
- manifest
- java
- res
- layout
- values
- xml
- assets
- library 2
- …
when building app, I need to include some of the non-java resources from the libraries (string.xml, fonticons en xml and ttf assets) when they are not included in the flavours as dependencies. I have tried extending the sourceSets definition to access these library resources as external resources, but no combination seems to work. I could not find anything in manuals referring to this case of external non-java paths and I wonder if is a forbidden case by any reason. Clarify that Library1 is not included as a dependency.
This is my set of unsuccessful experimental configurations.
sourceSets {
main.res.srcDirs += '/home/username/AndroidStudioProjects/Lib1/lib/src/main/res/values'
main.res.srcDirs += new File("/home/username/AndroidStudioProjects/Lib1/lib/src/main/res/values").absolutePath
main.res.srcDirs += new File('/home/username/AndroidStudioProjects/Lib1/lib/src/main/res/values').absolutePath
main.res.srcDirs += new File(new URI("file:///home/username/AndroidStudioProjects/Lib1/lib/src/main/res/values")).absolutePath
main.res.srcDirs += '../../Lib1/lib/src/main/resources/values'
main.res.srcDirs += '../Lib1/lib/src/main/resources/values'
main.res.srcDirs += '../../Lib1/lib/src/main/res/values'
main.res.srcDirs += '../Lib1/lib/src/main/res/values'
main.res.srcDirs += '../Lib1/lib/src/main/resources/xml'
main.res.srcDirs += '../Lib1/lib/src/main/assets'
main.resources.srcDirs += 'project(Lib1).sourceSets.main.srcDirs'
main.resources.srcDirs += 'project(:Lib1).sourceSets.main.srcDirs'
main.resources.srcDirs += 'project(:..:Lib1).sourceSets.main.srcDirs'
}
So:
-
is this allowed when the path does not belong to a dependency? Maybe is my failure or maybe I am dealing with something impossible.
-
could someone point out, please, how an external non-java resource is expected to be referenced in build.gradle so it is included in the build?
Thanks
