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

If you are using Eclipse, go to project "Properties->Java Build Path". Under tab "Source", add the res folder you want to pack (e.g. res/raw).

It will add the following line into the .classpath file

After building done, the new jar file will contain the files in res/raw/ folder. You can access them as user558185 suggested.
