I’m currently in the process of creating quite a large scale Android application. As part of the application I’ve created a Custom View (one of many).

The Custom View in question is quite wide ranging in terms of functionality and because of that there are an awful lot of layouts, resources & drawable involved to respond to different devices, orientations, resolutions etc.

How can I separate out this functionality so it can be developed in isolation and not contaminate resources in the rest of the project. (Also, make it available to share across projects without having to untangle resource’s).

I’m hoping that it is possible to somehow “jar” it all up in some way but fear this may not be possible. It would be great if anyone has any strategies to achieve this.

    You’ll probably want to look at a Library Project.

    It lets you share code and resources between applications.

    From here:

    An Android library project is a development project that holds shared Android source code and resources.
    Other Android application projects can reference the library project and, at build time, include its compiled sources in their .apk files. Multiple application projects can reference the same library project and any single application project can reference multiple library projects.
