resourceOverlayDirectories broken in >= 2.8.2

[xcolwell]

I have an APK that illustrates how resources get mangled in 3.8.2 and on when using resourceOverlayDirectories. The issues is not present in 3.8.1 .

Great. Do you have a pull request to fix it?

[mosabua]

Also... what about the latest release 3.9.0-rc.3 ... you need to verify it works or is broken with it as this is what we are working on.

[xcolwell]

@william-ferguson-au I can submit a pull request against the latest (3.9.0-rc3). I've tested 3.8.2 and 3.9.0-rc3. The latter seems to outright ignore resourceOverlayDirectories, whereas the former corrupts the APK.

I haven't submitted to this project before. How do you structure tests?

[mosabua]

We are currently revamping a bunch of test stuff.. for now just submit the fix.

[xcolwell]

@mosabua ok. I'll get put one together this week.

[mosabua]

Great... looking forward to it ;-)

@xcolwell any luck on it?

btw what is this used for? is it something we can use like the gradle flavors?

[xcolwell]

@Shusshu

That option is like Gradle flavors - the build swaps resources at compile time, e.g. dev, prod can have different included resources.

Unfortunately I am no longer working on this. I started a new project and started using Gradle. Too bad because Maven for Android is strangely more complete than Gradle, but Gradle seems like the long term right choice.

[mosabua]

If you decide to get back to using Maven after some Gradle experience.. we still take pull requests ;-)
