How to use resource in Android library dependency on ADT?

问题

My development environment:

• adt:22.3.0
• android-maven-plugin:3.8.2
• maven:3.1.1

I am developing a google map Android app with maven structure and dependencies as below:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.android.gms</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-play-services</artifactId>
  <version>13.0.0</version>
  <type>apklib</type>
</dependency>

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.android.gms</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-play-services</artifactId>
  <version>13.0.0</version>
</dependency>

or

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.android.gms</groupId>
  <artifactId>play-services</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.30</version>
  <type>aar</type>
</dependency>

I tried apk and aar type but I still can't use resource drawable, string etc (R.drawable.poi, R.style.button_style1..) in android lib dependency. How can I handle this?

回答1:

To use the resource drawables of Library, you also have to import the project into eclipse workspace and reference it from your mavenized project.

I faced this problem, solved it by importing Google-play-services project to workspace and referencing it from my maven project.

For referencing. right click on your project->Properties->Android->(libraryProjects->Add->[browse google-play-library project]), click on apply and save it.

you can find google-play-library project in sdk/extras/google/

A similar problem appeared in our project after updating android-maven-plugin from version 3.8.0 to 3.8.2, android-maven-plugin looks bugy.

We had to fallback to version 3.8.0. I recommend you to do the same using apklib as aar is only available since version 3.8.2 and in case you want to use aarto wait for later version of android-maven-plugin.

In details, the problem was in the linking of the apklib, all ressources (layouts, drawables...) referenced seemed to be disaligned. For example a layout or a drawable was displayed instead of another. Application was crashing when accessing to a missing reference/id in a layout (the reference was not present because the wrong layout was loaded).
