Looks like the build system doesn't support assets/ for
resources, so we will re-introduce them in aapt2, even though
we're just copying them around and they would be better
suited for inclusion in the APK when classes.dex gets inserted.
Bug: 35461578
Test: CTS test android.content.res.cts.AssetManager#testAssetOperations should pass
Change-Id: I18361d7367d476806bcf7154ee76df3f0e83b565
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-encoding flag.
aapt2 optimize ...
Adds an optimization pass that supports:
stripping out any density assets that do not match the --target-densities list of
densities.
resource deduping when the resources are dominated and identical (already happens during
link phase but this covers apps built with aapt).
new sparse resource type encoding with the --enable-sparse-encoding flag if possible
(minSdkVersion >= O or resource qualifier >= v26).
Version 2.8
aapt2 link ...
Adds shared library support. Build a shared library with the --shared-lib flag.
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 configVarying resource 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-transitions to disable automatic
versioning of Transition XML resources.
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-localize option is specified.
Legacy mode: treats some class of errors as warnings in order to be more compatible
with AAPT when --legacy is specified.
Compile directory: treats the input file as a directory when --dir is
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.
