I am trying to use the same application icon for all applications derived from a Library Project.
I thought that it would be as simple as implementing the advice provided in this thread, but unfortunately it doesn’t work.
What I did is add to the <manifest> tag in the application’s AndroidManifest.xml the following line:
xmlns:mylib="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.example.baseapp"
And a few lines down the same AndroidManifest.xml file, change the typical @drawable/icon to:
<application android:icon="@mylib:drawable/icon">
But it doesn’t work!
Instead, Eclipse tells me that:
error: Error: No resource found that
matches the given name (at ‘icon’ with
value ‘@omlib:drawable/icon’).
Apparently, referencing drawables from a layout XML and the manifest XML are not the same.
How do I reference an icon from a Library Project in Application’s AndroidManifest.xml?
Did you try with drawable/icon only ? I don’t know about your setup but it works for me.
Perhaps after a good project and librairy clean up…
