How to add layout definitions to the built-in applications

[Mauricio Porto]

Hi,

I am trying to extend the Camera application by adding a new functionality.

My IDE is Eclipse and I do not know how to include layout definitions (in XML) to an existing application.

When writing a new application (SDK based) it is easy since the "res" directory is under the project directory and Eclipse updates the "R.java" file as soon as I save the XML layout file. However, when extending some built-in application, I could not grasp the way.

Can some one help me? Is there some documentation, steps-to-go, examples or anything else regarding this?

Regards,

Mauricio Porto

Just put the layout file in, and build the app with the build system.  A quick way to do this is: "mmm packages/apps/Camera"
