Android Question One code, many apps

[Walter Adriano da Silva]

Hi Erel,

In my project I intend to deploy the same application to multiple clients, but each requires different settings. The conditional compilation solves this, but only a part. Currently I duplicate the source folder and modify the topics in the res folder. Would have some way to keep only one source folder and apply a theme to each build?

What is so special on the different clients versions that you can not build with conditional compiling?

and modify the topics in the res folder

The resources are different?

You can use one Resource-folder for each of your customers using

#additionalres: ..\res_hohnsmith

This will use a folder named
res_hohnsmith in your PROJECT dir (NOT inside objects\res-folder!)

This works with conditional compiling too

or put as much of the common stuff in code modules and put it in the shared modules path

Thanks all.

I'm using the solution of DonManfred...

The app icon isn't used now, how I can use the drawable folder in the manifest?

 

[DonManfred]

where is the drawable folder now?

projectdir\Objects\res\drawable\*.*?

If yes then move the folder to

projectsdir\res_hohnsmith\drawable\

The advantage of using the additionalres command is that you DONT NEED to set the files writeprotected

 

[Walter Adriano da Silva]

No...

It's in ..\res_hohnsmith\drawable\*.*

 

[DonManfred]

No...

It's in ..\res_hohnsmith\drawable\*.*

maybe i misinterpreted... you already did what i want suggest here i believe
The folder with the ressources is already projectdir\res_hohnsmith\?

I thought it was still inside the object folder

 

[Walter Adriano da Silva]

Yes, already did this, and the themes works but the icon no.

 

[DonManfred]

for icon you need to use a custombuildaction and copy the right icon into objects\res\drawable\ (The Icon MUST be in the "original res folder"!)

See here.

#If JOHNSMITH
   #CustomBuildAction: 1, c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, /c copy ..\res_hohnsmith\drawable\full_icon.png res\drawable\icon.png
#End If

Ok, I'll try this.
