Android Project Combine

中文文档

Combine multiple android projects on one Android Studio window safely and easily, which just mock a combined project contains multiple projects, so you just open combine project on Android Studio to maintain those projects.

KICK OFF

This demonstrate we using configures on repos.templete.conf(combine FileDownloader project with filedownloader-okhttp3-connection project):

Following is the demonstrate to maintain filedownloader-okhttp3-connection on android-project-combine:

P.S. If above videos can't play，you can click video1、video2 to download they manually.

WHAT ABOUT THIS?

This is very useful when you developing several projects but they need to communicate each other(such as Atlas project)

• Just a developing env wrapper, it can't modify projects, safe to use.
• Different Android projects develop together at the one Android Studio window.
• Find References and Jump into source code rather than .class file on jar package.
• Jump out of the each projects compile system and using the official compile system.
• Very light, very fast for each time you want to refresh combine project.

HOW TO USE?

Step 1. Clone This Repo

First of all, you need clone this repo, and enter the repo folder which is your work place now, simply way is:

git clone [email protected]:Jacksgong/android-project-combine.git && cd android-project-combine

So following steps are working on the repo folder.

Step 2. Create repos.conf File

P.S. You can refer to ./repos.templete.conf

You need create repos.conf file on project root directory, and declare which repo you want to combine on it(one line one repo address).

# import FileDownloader porject
[email protected]:lingochamp/FileDownloader.git
# declare the FileDownloader exposed arr with groupId:artifactId
- exposed: com.liulishuo.filedownloader:library
# declare ignore the module with its folder name 'demo'
- ignore-module: demo
# declare ignore the module with its folder name 'demo2'
- ignore-module: demo2

# import filedownloader okhttp3 connection project
[email protected]:Jacksgong/filedownloader-okhttp3-connection.git

# import Demo project on ~/Downloads/Demo folder
~/Downloads/Demo

As you can see above, we can recognize repos address and local absolute path.

Step 3. Refresh env

Execute ./refresh.sh to refresh env

Step 3. Open on the Android Studio

Open android-project-combine on the Android Studio.
