fix missing resources when using AGP 7.3.X

[AndreasBoehm]

Fixes

• resources not included on AGP 7.3.0 #402
• 1.3.8的fat-aar版本，AGP 7.3 Gradle7.4，资源文件没merge到一起，class什么的都merge到一起了。 #399

Changelog

• use registerGeneratedResFolders to merge resources

Use the fixed version in your project

Until this MR gets merged you need to use jitpack to get a version of the library that includes this fix.
I created a new branch for this because i also had to modify the publishing config: https://github.com/AndreasBoehm/fat-aar-android/tree/fix-missing-resources-jitpack

Details can be found here: https://jitpack.io/#AndreasBoehm/fat-aar-android/da3ac00990

Hi @AndreasBoehm, Thanks for your help, Would you please guide me about, How I can use your branch, in my code as classpath? Thanks in advance

[AndreasBoehm]

HI @tareq-threls,
i added a guide to the MR description that describes how you can use those changes in your project.

Hi @AndreasBoehm could you please check this issue once #406

Hi @AndreasBoehm could you please check this issue once #406

You need to use the fixed version of the library to fix this issue.
Please take a look at the the description of this issue (#403) for how to do that.

I integrated the jitpack library you mentioned above, but still the fat-aar not including the drawables.

Hie @AndreasBoehm thank you for trying to fix this.

We implemented the changes you mentioned but are getting the following errors:

The code we are working with open source and you can check it here: https://github.com/Samagra-Development/odk-collect-extension/tree/feature/library-publish-github-action.

We are working on checking this in-parallel but any help from you would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @karntrehan,

I saw that you are using the DSL plugins { } to apply the fat-aar plugin without having defined pluginManagement in your settings.gradle file.
This means that you are still using the official fat-aar library. See here: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/plugins.html#sec:custom_plugin_repositories

You can either add pluginManagement or use the plugin version that you specified with classpath using the following line apply plugin: 'com.kezong.fat-aar'.

Best,
Andi

Still not effective, the configuration is as follows（AGP: 7.4.0 gradle:7.5）

root build.gradle
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.kezong:fat-aar:1.3.8'
}
}

module build.gradle
plugins {
id("com.kezong.fat-aar")
}

dependencies {
implementation("com.github.AndreasBoehm:fat-aar-android:da3ac00990")
embed("com.custom.aar")
}

I feel that I didn't use your change, where is the wrong?

[PopFisher]

The document is written wrong
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.kezong:fat-aar:1.3.8'
}
Change to the following statement
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.AndreasBoehm:fat-aar-android:da3ac00990'
}

[osmanfilho]

any predictions for the merger to be carried out?

[AndreasBoehm]

I don't think that this will ever get merged.
