Re: [android-building] sub_dir unrecognized property

[Dan Willemsen]

LOCAL_MODULE_PATH wasn't strictly necessary in make either -- if you had set `LOCAL_PROPRIETARY_MODULE := true` like the `proprietary: true` in the Android.bp, it would get installed into the correct location. The `androidmk` tool tries to auto-fix some cases of LOCAL_MODULE_PATH, but it can't understand everything. So the `prebuilt_etc` module that you wrote should install into /vendor/etc/location.pem (or /system/vendor if there's no vendor partition).

What will break is the "../" in the src field -- we don't allow references outside of the current directory and its subdirectories in Soong. We require the directory with the sources to opt-into being used by others, either by directly defining the modules, or by defining filegroup modules that can be used in the src[s] fields via ":myfilegroup" (colon-prefixed module name). This way we can actually let you control who uses files within your directory (via visibility), and tools like `mma` and `atest` are more likely to be able to handle "build/test everything in this directory" properly.

Hello, I am trying to convert Android.mk to Android.bp files here is a sample .mk module

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE        := location.pem

LOCAL_MODULE_OWNER  := x

LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS   := optional

LOCAL_MODULE_CLASS  := ETC

LOCAL_SRC_FILES     := ../../.././target/product/msmnile/vendor/etc/location.pem

LOCAL_MODULE_PATH   := $(PRODUCT_OUT)/$(TARGET_COPY_OUT_VENDOR)/etc

include $(BUILD_PREBUILT)

when i Convert this to 

prebuilt_etc {

    name: "location.pem",

    owner: "x",

    src: "../../.././target/product/msmnile/vendor/etc/location.pem",

    proprietary: true,

}  it works fine but when included sub_dir inplace of LOCAL_MODULE_PATH I am getting "sub_dir " unrecognized property

How to change LOCAL_MODULE_PATH module descriptor in Android.bp, 

Thanks in advance:)
