Question

I have a single android app with a custom logo, some custom json service endpoints, occasional custom text, and possibly a custom color scheme.

For my client this particular app will need to be rebranded and distributed as an entirely different app about 5-10 times over. So I’m looking for way to reuse the most amount of code – the activities and services will be identical except for the custom things I mentioned.

First off, how can I share projects in the sense that one project will hold all code (including activities), and the others just modify a few values. I can’t think of a smart way to share both service code and activity code with the occasional value thrown in via properties.

Do android layout/string resource files have the ability to pull from properties? Can activities be bundled inside a jar and shared with other projects?

You can use Android library project to share the common code. Start by reading this article
