Override LOCAL_MODULE?

[Maria Gutowski]

Is there any way to override LOCAL_MODULE from an Android.mk file?

 

I'm interested in solving a situation where sometimes there will be both source and a binary provided for a given module and I want one of them to always be used if both are present.

You can not override LOCAL_MODULE.

You should still define 2 separate modules in you Android.mk and then make 1 module override another by setting LOCAL_OVERRIDES_PACKAGES.

For example:

....

LOCAL_PATH:= $(call my-dir)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE := Module1

# other settings

....

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE := Module2

LOCAL_OVERRIDES_PACKAGES := Module1

# other settings

...

Then if both Module1 and Module2 appear in PRODUCT_PACKAGES, only Module2 will get installed.
