- Prefix the config split name generated from a feature split with the name of the feature split. - Add the 'configForSplit' attribute to the <manifest> tag of a config split and give it the same name as the feature split it was generated from. - Look for the featureSplit attribute in <manifest> and automatically convert it to 'split' and inject 'android:isFeatureSplit="true"'. Feature splits should be written like so: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.foo.example" featureSplit="feature_b"> <uses-split android:name="feature_a" /> ... </manifest> Bug: 34703094 Test: manual Change-Id: I01b5c4a9aa03a2d25ef1e87bc7874b57c9deede9
Android Asset Packaging Tool 2.0 (AAPT2) release notes
Version 2.10
aapt2 link ...
- Add ability to specify package ID to compile with for regular apps (not shared or static libs). This package ID is limited to the range 0x7f-0xff inclusive. Specified with the --package-id flag.
- Fixed issue with resources being stripped for locales and other configuration.
- Fixed issue with escaping strings in XML resources.
Version 2.9
aapt2 link ...
- Added sparse resource type encoding, which encodes resource entries that are sparse with
a binary search tree representation. Only available when minSdkVersion >= API O or resource
qualifier of resource types is >= v26 (or whatever API level O becomes). Enabled with
--enable-sparse-encodingflag.
aapt2 optimize ...
- Adds an optimization pass that supports:
- stripping out any density assets that do not match the
--target-densitieslist of densities. - resource deduping when the resources are dominated and identical (already happens during
linkphase but this covers apps built withaapt). - new sparse resource type encoding with the
--enable-sparse-encodingflag if possible (minSdkVersion >= O or resource qualifier >= v26).
- stripping out any density assets that do not match the
Version 2.8
aapt2 link ...
- Adds shared library support. Build a shared library with the
--shared-libflag. Build a client of a shared library by simply including it via-I.
Version 2.7
aapt2 compile ...
- Fixes bug where psuedolocalization auto-translated strings marked 'translateable="false"'.
Version 2.6
aapt2
- Support legacy
configVaryingresource type. - Support
<bag>tag and treat as<style>regardless of type. - Add
<feature-group>manifest tag verification. - Add
<meta-data>tag support to<instrumentation>.
Version 2.5
aapt2 link ...
- Transition XML versioning: Adds a new flag
--no-version-transitionsto disable automatic versioning of Transition XML resources.
Version 2.4
aapt2 link ...
- Supports
<meta-data>tags in<manifest>.
Version 2.3
aapt2
- Support new
fontresource type.
Version 2.2
aapt2 compile ...
- Added support for inline complex XML resources. See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/complex-xml-resources.html
aapt link ...
- Duplicate resource filtering: removes duplicate resources in dominated configurations
that are always identical when selected at runtime. This can be disabled with
--no-resource-deduping.
Version 2.1
aapt2 link ...
- Configuration Split APK support: supports splitting resources that match a set of
configurations to a separate APK which can be loaded alongside the base APK on
API 21+ devices. This is done using the flag
--split path/to/split.apk:<config1>[,<config2>,...]. - SDK version resource filtering: Resources with an SDK version qualifier that is unreachable at runtime due to the minimum SDK level declared by the AndroidManifest.xml are stripped.
Version 2.0
aapt2 compile ...
- Pseudo-localization: generates pseudolocalized versions of default strings when the
--pseudo-localizeoption is specified. - Legacy mode: treats some class of errors as warnings in order to be more compatible
with AAPT when
--legacyis specified. - Compile directory: treats the input file as a directory when
--diris specified. This will emit a zip of compiled files, one for each file in the directory. The directory must follow the Android resource directory structure (res/values-[qualifiers]/file.ext).
aapt2 link ...
- Automatic attribute versioning: adds version qualifiers to resources that use attributes
introduced in a later SDK level. This can be disabled with
--no-auto-version. - Min SDK resource filtering: removes resources that can't possibly be selected at runtime due to the application's minimum supported SDK level.
