It is possible to include layout and other resources in an Android jar?
android, jar, java
Solution
No, not currently. Because of the way Android packages resources in an apk, you can't include them in a jar. However, you can still share the jar with the other developers - they'll just have to manually pull in the layout files.
Problem
I'm building a jar so that other developers can use the view I create in their Android applications. I'm wondering if it is possible to use a layout resource in my jar so I can build the layout of my view or if I need to build up my view programmatically. Similarly, can I include image resources in my jar file?
