I like the idea and as far as I know this is already possible to some extend by using the Maven Android Plugin. However this is really a suboptimal way in terms of component reuse on the device. Ideally it would even go further and get to a stage where a app could declare a dependency to a widget, library, intent or whatever and some central repository would be providing it for download.
This would be similar to how e.g maven treats dependencies and downloads them on the fly when needed or even closer to Android how Linux package management systems like apt or rpm handle dependencies. The only problem with this approach is that it requires a strong open source community supporting the distribtution mechanism and at thist age I have my doubts this could be achieved on Android. Would be great though! manfred -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
