0

Yesterday i was able to fix all my previous issues and simple android apps are running without any problems.

After setting everything up for them i tried to do the same for 3 of my more complex apps. All those apps use ActionBarSherlock and ViewPagerIndicator.

The first issue was that if i have a project (without holoeverywhere) ant can’t compile because it tries to add a class which was added already. I know which library is causing the issue -> android-support-v4.jar but i can’t remove it. It’s required for ViewPagerIndicator and ActionBarSherlock.

The second more annoying issue is, that as soon as i add HoloEverywhere (it requires ActionBarSherlock as dependency) it gives me the following error:

[renderscript] No RenderScript files to compile.
     [echo] ----------
     [echo] Handling Resources...
     [aapt] Generating resource IDs...

I know it says that the references to the ActionBarSherlock style is missing but why? I use the original ant-script and even if i was able to fix all paths to the libraries (ant ignores the defined project.properties in the build.xml of a library project) it is not able to build.

Any hints or ideas?

everything above seems ok.

the ** in the path are only to hide the real path. the script knows the correct path.

I was now able to fix my issue. It seems my build.xml was corrupt and it made any issues.

If someone wants to rename his application package, here is the solution i found in the web:

<target name="-package-resources" depends="-crunch">
        <!-- only package resources if *not* a library project -->
        <do-only-if-not-library elseText="Library project: do not package resources..." >
            <aapt executable="${aapt}"
                    command="package"
                    versioncode="${package.manifest.version.code}"
                    versionname="${package.manifest.version.name}"
                    debug="${build.is.packaging.debug}"
                    manifest="${out.manifest.abs.file}"
                    assets="${asset.absolute.dir}"
                    androidjar="${project.target.android.jar}"
                    apkfolder="${out.absolute.dir}"
                    nocrunch="${build.packaging.nocrunch}"
                    resourcefilename="${resource.package.file.name}"
                    resourcefilter="${aapt.resource.filter}"
                    libraryResFolderPathRefid="project.library.res.folder.path"
                    libraryPackagesRefid="project.library.packages"
                    previousBuildType="${build.last.target}"
                    buildType="${build.target}"
                    ignoreAssets="${aapt.ignore.assets}"
                    manifestpackage="${package.manifest.name}">
                <res path="${out.res.absolute.dir}" />
                <res path="${resource.absolute.dir}" />
                <!-- <nocompress /> forces no compression on any files in assets or res/raw -->
                <!-- <nocompress extension="xml" /> forces no compression on specific file extensions in assets and res/raw -->
            </aapt>
        </do-only-if-not-library>
    </target>

This is the cleanest variant i think.
