Android Question Question about #AdditionalRes attribute

[corwin42]

I have a problem with the #AdditionalRes attribute.

If I try to compile my project I get the following error while generating the R.java file.

res\values\analytics.xml:5: error: Resource at ga_trackingId appears in overlay but not in the base package; use <add-resource> to add.

I have found a question about the error on Stackoverflow with a possible solution. Maybe this is related.

Does B4A use aapt to generate the R.java file? If yes, does B4A use the --auto-add-overlay option? If not, can it be configured somewhere?

I'm familiar with this issue. I haven't yet investigated it. Will report my findings...

Move the file to the appropriate res folder of your added resources (not in Object/res).

Move the file to the appropriate res folder of your added resources (not in Object/res).

Yes I know that I can fix it this way but I want to keep the res folders separate.
The issue is that I have to copy my xml files etc. to a res folder which belongs to a library and I don't want to mix it up. The other posiblity would be to use the <add-resource> attribute in my xml files but thats a lot to change.

As you wrote there are two missing --auto-add-overlay parameters in the build process. It is fixed for the next update.

As Informatix wrote the solution for now is to copy the resources to the "AdditionalRes" folder.

Sorry, where is located the "AdditionalRes" folder ?

See this link: Modules Attributes
#AdditionalRes attribute allows you to set one or more additional resources folders.
