How to manually build an Android project containing a Android library project using Ant?

Question

I seem to have hit a snag while building my project using Ant. The resources of the QR code Scanner android library and my project resources don't seem to merge into one.arsc file. Here is the snippet of the aapt part of my script.

<exec executable="${aapt}" failonerror="true">
      <arg value="package" />
      <arg value="-M" />
      <arg path="AndroidManifest.xml" />
      <arg value="-A" />
      <arg path="assets" />
      <arg value="-S" />
      <arg path="./res" /> 
      <arg value="-S" />
      <arg path="../QRcode Scanner/res" />
      <arg value="-I" />
      <arg path="${android-platform-jar}" />
      <arg value="-f" />
      <arg value="-F" />
      <arg value="${resources.file}" />
    </exec> 

My console error log looks like this:-

android-package-resources:
     [echo] Packaging Android resources into C:\Praveen\Eclipse\eclipse-SDK-3.7.

Try using this one:

<exec executable="${aapt}" failonerror="true">
  <arg value="package" />
  <arg value="-M" />
  <arg path="AndroidManifest.xml" />
  <arg value="-A" />
  <arg path="assets" />
  <arg value="-S" />
  <arg path="./res" /> 
  <arg value="-S" />
  <arg path="../QRcode Scanner/res" />
  <arg value="-I" />
  <arg path="${android-platform-jar}" />
  <arg value="-f" />
  <arg value="-F" />
  <arg value="${resources.file}" />
  <arg value="--auto-add-overlay" />
</exec>
