shrinkwrap-android

Important

This project is currently a proof of concept and its API will probably change!

Introduction

Shrinkwrap-android is a simple Java library, primarily for use with Apkbuilder library. It assures the correct directory structure inside the archive and also helps you with creation of AndroidManifest.xml.

Setup

In your pom.xml add following dependency:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap</groupId>
	<artifactId>shrinkwrap-android-depchain</artifactId>
	<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Usage

This library uses the same API as standard shrinkwrap and only adds some Android specific functions.

AndroidArchive archive = ShrinkWrap.create(AndroidArchive.class);

AndroidManifest manifest = createAndroidManifest();

archive.addAsResource("resource-name", "resource-target"); # (1)
archive.addClass(ClassToAdd.class);
archive.addAsAndroidManifest(manifest);
archive.addAsAsset("resource-name", "resource-target"); # (2)

1. The file will be placed into /res/resource-target

2. The file will be placed into /asset/resource-target

Easy right? Same applies to the AndroidManifest creation. It’s all just a pure code, you won’t get to bother with XML at all. Each node in AndroidManifest has its own class, with getters/setters following rules set in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html#filestruct
