There are now many libraries which depend on resource files from the Android SDK (Many need Google Play Services, all the AppCompat stuff etc)

I wish for a new path configuration under "Tools/Configure Paths" for the Android SDK home which should be referenceable from the #AdditionalRes attribute. So instead of:
B4X:
#AdditionalRes: C:\Android\android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res, android.support.v7.appcompat
which is not interchangeable between installations we could write something like:
B4X:
#AdditionalRes: $SDKHome\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res, android.support.v7.appcompat

Additionally a variable for the CustomLibs folder would be helpful for library wrapper resources:
B4X:
#AdditionalRes: $CustomLibs\Resources\b4a_appcompat, de.amberhome.objects.appcompat

With this addition it will be easier to interchange source between B4A developers. Especially for the library examples.
