Question

I’m trying to use sbt to compile an Android Project made in Java, which I just inherited and want to improve with Scala.

The project is splited across several modules. I’ve created an sbt project with “g8 jberkel/android-app -b sbt-0_11“, copied all the modules to src/ leaving me with:

my-android-project  ls -l src 
total 96
drwxr-xr-x  14 tiagoboldt  staff    476 Oct 18 16:09 AndroidApplication
drwxr-xr-x   8 tiagoboldt  staff    272 Oct 18 16:09 CRCCalculatioNTool
drwxr-xr-x  10 tiagoboldt  staff    340 Oct 18 16:09 CaretakerIntegration
drwxr-xr-x  13 tiagoboldt  staff    442 Oct 18 16:09 ConsoleSensorNetwork
... and so on

These modules have dependencies between them, AndroidApplication is the main application I want to build. I’ve been trying to edit my project/build.scala, which I’ve altered from the original to include the following :

object AndroidBuild extends Build {
  lazy val AndroidApplication = Project (
    "AndroidApplication",
    file("."),
    settings = General.fullAndroidSettings ++ PlainJavaProject.settings
  ) 
}

While trying to build, I always end up with:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: (rest_of_dir)/my-android-project/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml (No such file or directory)

I can’t understand how to configure it to have it look for that file in src/AndroidApplication/src/AndroidManifest.xml, instead of the default one. Already tried to play with the file value and no go :\

The documentation of both sbt and it’s android plugin didn’t help. Any help would be appreciated.

Along with libgdx, I just used this:

lazy val android = 
  Settings.common ++
  AndroidProject.androidSettings ++
  TypedResources.settings ++
  proguardSettings ++
  AndroidManifestGenerator.settings ++
  AndroidMarketPublish.settings ++
  Seq (
    platformName in Android := "android-7",
    keyalias in Android := "change-me",
    mainAssetsPath in Android := file("common/src/main/resources"),
    manifestPath in Android := Seq(file("android/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml"))
  )
