Ok, I've tried the 'shell script' approach. First, I tried to just manually adjust my project. So:
- I changed the value of 1 constant in my code which determines if it builds into a lite or a full version - I changed android:icon , android:label and 'package' in the manifest - this forced me to change the 'package' in every single source file - this in turn forced me to change the name of the directory which contain said source code now I closed and reopened the project in Eclipse, it gave me some cryptic errors, I restarted Eclipse, that did the trick. Now I have two .apk's . The problem is, I can of course automate the first 4 steps, but I still don't quite understand how to automate re-importing thus adjusted code into Eclipse. Seems to me this approach will prove to be too much trouble. 'android library' - looks promising, although I already have everything organised in such a way that all I have to do is change the value of one constant in the code and everything else automatically rebuilds into the proper version. So what exactly would I put in my two 'lite' anf 'full' projects? 100% of the code would be in the library. L.
