add resources to library created from project

Question

I have a next problem: I want to get a library based on android project and to use it in another project as 'external' library

Is it possible?
If it is possible - my MainProblem: how can I add resources into library? The way Project Properties -> Android -> "As Library" adds only .class-files!

MySituation:

public class ClassForLibrary extends Activity{ onCreate(){ setContentView(R.layout.library_activity_layout); } method1(){ } method2(){ } }

So, I want to have a library with two files: ClassForLibrary.class and library_activity_layout.xml

Next I want to add this library using Build Path...

and start application as

public class MainActivity extends ClassForLibrary { . . . . . . . . . . }

I've tried a lot of code constructions but the most closest situation is

Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f030001.

#0x7f030001 is my library_activity_layout.xml that i put manually into created library.

Сan anybody help me?

You can't access private library files in another application, unless the library itself exposes them. In your case, your library would need to create a function that lets the application replace the layout with it's own. Something like:

public class ClassForLibrary extends Activity{ onCreate(){ setContentView(R.layout.library_activity_layout); } public overrideContentView(ViewGroup root){ .... replace root view with the one passed in.... } method1(){ } method2(){ } }

Hey! You peeped my code! )) That's what I'm doing (ok, a little more complicated). The problem was in overrided setContentView() when I wanted to inflate unexisted resource.
So, I'll try to create dynamic layout instead of static resource. Perhaps this is the only way. I'm really grateful to you advice. Thanx a lot!
