R.drawable in Libraries

[airblaster]

This is my first time working with Eclipse and Java, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to wrap a Android View Library as a B4A Library.
The progress so far is probably quite good (thanks to Library Generator by XverhelstX getting me started), but there is one problem: On a code line that is using R.Java I get a NoClassDefFoundError.
If I'm not mistaken, this is because the R File and the resources are not included in the library project of the library to be wrapped.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Is there a way to include the resources in an Android library project?

You should have asked this in the libraries developers section.

You can not include Android resources accessed by the R class into a library. You have to add the resource files to your B4A project under the Objects\res folder. Then you need a little helper method to access the resources from within your library:

   public static int getResourceId(String type, String resourceName) {
      return BA.applicationContext.getResources().getIdentifier(resourceName, type, BA.packageName);
   }

I normally put it in a class named RHelper.

Then everywhere in your library where you want to access the resource use the helper method:

RHelper.getResourceId("drawable", "name_of_resource")

Sounds good, thanks for the detailed reply! I'll try applying it on Monday.
I didn't notice that there is a special forum for library development until you mentioned it, I'll post there next time.
