Detailed Description
The Android.sdk module contains the properties and rules to create Android application packages from Java sources, resources, and so on. It is usually pulled in indirectly by declaring an Application product.
Relevant File Tags
| Tag | Auto-tagged File Names | Since | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
"android.aidl" | *.aidl | 1.4.0 | Attached to Android AIDL files. One Java source file will be generated for each such file. |
"android.assets" | - | 1.4.0 | Attached to Android assets, which are typically located in an assets/ subdirectory. These files are tagged automatically if the automaticSources property is enabled. |
"android.manifest" | AndroidManifest.xml | 1.4.0 | Attached to the Android manifest. There must be one such file for every Android app. |
"android.resources" | - | 1.4.0 | Attached to Android resources, which are typically located in a res/ subdirectory. These files are tagged automatically if the automaticSources property is enabled. |
