Question

I want to build two different APK’s from my Android application. The differance between the two are images in the res/drawable directory. I know that it is possible to use a different set of resources during runtime depending on language settings, hardware or other, but how to do it compiletime? (is it possible to specify another directory then res/drawable?)

(currently, i’m copying/replacing all resources each time i want to build a new version)

Sound like you need to use Ant build tools.

Create in your project a custom folder that contains to different assets folders for each APK,
then, use ANT build with a proper configuration file that u need to create to build the project with the appropriate assets and files before it’s beening compiled.

Good luck!

Update:

Here is a tutorial for using the Ant build tool with android:
