1 Sample: TicTacToeLib and TicTacToeMain. 2 3 -------- 4 Summary: 5 -------- 6 7 These two projects work together. They demonstrate how to use the ability to 8 split an APK into multiple projects. 9 10 Build is supported both via Ant (command-line tools) or via ADT (the Android 11 plugin for Eclipse). 12 13 -------- 14 Details: 15 -------- 16 17 TicTacToeMain is the main project. It defines a main activity that is first 18 displayed to the user. When one of the start buttons is selected, an 19 activity defined in TicTacToeLib is started. 20 21 To define that TicTacToeMain uses TicTacToeLib as a "project library", the 22 file TicTacToeMain/default.properties contains the special line: 23 android.library.reference.1=../TicTacToeLib/ 24 25 26 TicTacToeLib is the "project library". It can contain both source code (.java) 27 and Android resources (anything under /res) that will be merged in the final 28 APK. To define this is a library, the file TicTacToeLib/default.project 29 contains the special line: 30 android.library=true 31 32 33 One important thing to realize is that the library is not a separately-compiled 34 JAR file: the source and resources from the library are _actually_ merged in 35 the main project and the result is used to generate the APK. This means that 36 the main project can either use or redefine behavior from the libraries. 37 38 39 To use the main vs library project: 40 - In ADT, just open import both projects and launch the main project. 41 - In Ant, use 'android update project' to create the build files and set the SDK location, 42 and then run 'ant debug' on the main project. 43 44 45 For more details on the purpose of this feature, its limitations and detailed usage, 46 please read the SDK guide at 47 http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html 48 49
