Windows和Mac上的Android库项目

Question

I'm asking this question on behalf of my team of two Android devs. I use Windows and my partner uses a Macbook. When sharing a project through Git, the classpaths accidentally got messed up. Here are a few observations:

• The library projects referenced (working initially) can't be resolved anymore.
• When adding through the Projects tab in 'Java Build Path', the libraries can be found.
• But the app crashes (due to NoClassDefFoundError ), again pointing towards a messy build path structure.
• Initially referenced library projects on the Mac used to appear directly in the build path as JARs. Now they do under Android Dependencies, which is weird (the former more).
• On the Windows, the above JARs have always been under Dependencies and Referenced Libraries.

I'd like to resolve this issue in a way that we can share the project on Git and work seamlessly in the future. :)

One option is to:

• not version .classpath ,
• version a classpath template
• generate the right classpath depending on the current platform where the code is checked out.

That is called a content filter driver , here a smudge script, which will be called automatically (hence the "seamless" aspect) on git checkout , and will generate the actual .classpath (otherwise not versioned and add in the .gitignore )

Note that you can easily remove (without deleting it locally) the .classpath from the repo:

git rm --cached -- .classpath
git add -u .
git commit -m "Delete .classpath"
git push
