Git版本控制和图书馆项目

Question

Please read both 1 and 2. If you are not an Android dev you could still help because this is a versioning problem as well.

Here is the situation:

I have inherited an android project created in IntelliJ and am currently importing it into Eclipse. But many obstacles lay in the way...

1. In IntelliJ Android Libraries can be sub-directories (children) of the project, however, in Eclipse you can only select Android Libraries that are in the current workspace (Siblings). Is it possible to select a child directory?
2. If #1 cannot be fixed then how can I approach the following: I have an Android Library project that contains many reusable components (static utils). Assume the Android Library is a sibling directory to the project. I have a version 1 application that uses the Android Library. I now create a version 2 that uses the Android Library but I also update the libraries API (change some methods). Version 2 is in development and version 1 is being maintained. When Eclipse cleans the projects the Android Library is no longer compatible with version 1 since the API has changed.

The project inherited was build in IntelliJ and the Android Library was a git repo and git submodules. Thus the reference was to a git commit and the repo could be externally updated. I essentially need to get versioning with Android Libraries working (I do not care about using or not using git submodules). Anybody have a solution?

The Answer for

Yes it is possible to reference a child directory(Android Library Project) in your Application project.

Step 1: Add the library project's directory inside your Application project's root directory.

Step2: Import this sub directory as a project in eclipse.

File -> Import , Under Android select Existing Android Code Into Workspace , For Root Directory browse to the root directory of your app project directory. In the list of Projects you get your own project plus the library project ie the sub directory. Make sure that only the library project is selected and not your App . Hit Finish .

Step 3: Reference to this library project.

Go to your Application project's Android properties and add this library project in the library section .

And you're done.
