Question

Using updated Android AppCompat resources

Hi,

AIR SDK 22 packages outdated AppCompat resources, and packaging updated resources causes conflicts. This prevents us from building extensions for libraries that require newer AppCompat resources.

We managed to avoid the conflict by removing the outdated resources from runtimeClasses.jar and packaging our own but obviously this is a hacky workaround rather than a good solution.

Is there a cleaner way to package newer AppCompat resources with current AIR SDK? If there is no way to fix it using regular ANE approach then maybe it would be a good idea for the AIR dev team to update the resources.

Thanks

    Hi mar.pies​

    I have checked the solution of AIR24 beta. It's not working and still gives errors of either duplicate resources or resource not found. Have you checked this?

    What's the Adobe fix for this?

    Hi Mazhar,

    Have you re-compiled the ANE using our latest AIR 24 SDK.

    The problem shouldn't occur after re-compiling the ANE and using it in the actionscript project.

    Thanks,

    Adobe AIR Team

    Hi deesharm​

    Yes, I have recompiled the ANE using LATEST AIR SDK 24 BETA. I am still getting "already added: Landroid/support/v7//appcompat/R$anim;" error.

    By the way, can you elaborate on "recompile the ANE using our latest AIR 24 SDK" ? I am using "ADT" command to compile the ANE.

    Can you please explain me steps of doing that, in case if I am missing any step. 

    (Note: I am building the android native library (.jar) using Android Studio 2.2.3)

    Thanks.
