Android Question 9-patch images still deleted after Run (F5)

[Wong Ka Chun]

Dear All,

I am developing a project using Ultimate List View (ULV) which using 9-patch images as section header / footer.

The images are in the path ../Objects/res/drawable.
When the images files are read-only, the program works fine.
When the images files are NOT read-only, the 9 patch images would be deleted after compiled and the activity of this ULV would be crashed.

Referring to 9patch Image File Keep Deleted from res/drawable Folder, Mr. Erel suggested using tag #AdditionalRes to a new folder e.g. Resources in my case.

#AdditionalRes: ../Resources

However, the program crashed with the same error message as:

What is my mistakes by using tag #AdditionalRes: ../Resources ?

 

[Erel]

The compiler will never delete files outside of the Objects folder. I guess that you haven't put the drawable files in the correct folder.

@Erel, I add #CustomBuildAction instead of #AdditionalRes. It works!

#CustomBuildAction: 1, c:\windows\system32\attrib.exe, +r res\*.* /s

@Erel, I have just reminded by my supervisor that:

1. Copy all 3 folders i.e. drawable, layout and xml from <project folder>\Objects\res to <project folder>\Resources
2. Tag #AdditionalRes: ../Resources

After compiled, it works again.
