Sony's runtime resource overlay in Android L

[Jignesh Shah]

Hello,

Sony's Runtime Resource Overlay (RRO) contribution to Android is very interesting indeed and opens up a whole lot of possibilities for developers. 

Is Google planning on shipping the latest flavor of Android with the RRO built in? Or are plans shelved for the time being?

Regards,

Jignesh. Shah

Hi, Shah:

    It seems this RRO is included in source code of L.

    You can see the modification in aapt/pms and so on.

Is the APK signed? 
If so, definitely.

Thank. 

It really help me a lot!

btw, could we provide multiple overlay target in a single overlay apk?

For example,could I declare are two target in AndroidManifst.xml : 

<overlay target=“com.android.example.rrotarget1”/>

<overlay target=“com.android.example.rrotarget2”/>

I think no, there should be only one "<overlay/>" node allowed.

Cheers, Tim

Confused, it seems this feature does not work.

Anyone who has tested the overlay feature in L ?

Hi.

If commit messages and code are not enough, have a look at this web page that describes in detail how resource management works and how runtime resource overlay extends it: http://developer.sonymobile.com/2014/04/22/sony-contributes-runtime-resource-overlay-framework-to-android-code-example/
