Packaging Android resource files within a distributable Jar file

Question

I am working on some reusable Android code that I would like to distribute to other developers for use within their own applications. The code has some resource dependencies

Answer 1

I just found that the aapt tool in the Android SDK allows the following option:

   --non-constant-id
       Make the resources ID non constant. This is required to make an R java class
       that does not contain the final value but is used to make reusable compiled
       libraries that need to access resources.

This sounds promising, though I have not tried this so I haven't a clue if it works. I suspect this is to get around the problem addressed by @J.J.Kim's post above.
