How about the ability to add either other android applications projects, or regular j2se projects, into android projects. Not having this means everything has to be in 1 project. This is currently a killer for me. I have an entire project hierarchy, from which I produce servlets, a desktop app, & a MIDP app. Would very much like to have an Android port. They can pass common objects between them, and have a single source. The mobility pack currently allows this and I am using it. I could see other scenarios where this could be useful. |

I think I have a limited work around for my suggestion. You could make an Android Library Project, from a regular JAVA Class Library Project, adding the android.jar file as a library, so it compiles. To get it into an Android Application while coding/compiling, I found you can right click the Libraries folder, and it bring up a menu with an item to "Add JAR/FOLDER", and it works even though there is no way to do this on the libraries section of project properties. You still need to get the code into a single APK file( just a zip file with a different extension like JAR is). I am thinking of using Proguard to glue it all together, then sign with jarsigner. This is still kind of crude, but thought I would share. |

| Would you mind adding new enhancement in bugzilla? It seems to be quite reasonable request. |

Sure, FYI, I have had a couple of days fumbling with Android & my work around. I learned Proguard does not recognize a CLASS file once it is in DEX format. This meant I would not be able to use an Android project, period. Proguard was just a means to glue things when I thought of it, but obfuscation is also a feature in itself. A DEX file has to be reversible, whether anyone has done it yet or not. a web search shows people are trying. The dx.jar which does the conversion from CLASS to DEX CLASS is decompilable, and has not been run through an obfuscator  Proguard 4.2(Mobility Pack uses an ancient version) could be used as a means of implementation. In addition to Obfuscation, it provides for function in-lining & other optimizations probably not in dx.jar. It also removes unused Classes & methods, which when tend happen with re-usable libraries. What I am going to do is word my request to include a way to produce, or always produce a jar file with pre-DEXED classes, so that anyone could use that version of output to do anything they wish to build production media, yet still run from here during development. I you wish, I will append an attachment describing using Proguard. |

Sounds good. What about adding a RFE into our JIRA bug tracking system. Then people can vote and developers can prioritize. Also one step at a time: we may decide to start with better editor. While there is no XSD we can still give you some code completion. |

| In March of last year, a new function called "gift this app" showed up on the iTunes store. After the holidays, several Android users are asking for a comparable feature in their app stores. Related topic entitled Android users asking for app gifting feature . The app gifting feature is a good idea for a better use. |

Is there an ETA for the next release? I would like to use some data in the asset/ folder and on the tracker it seems like it's fixed an year ago but I'm unable to understand how to use it... |
