An android_resource() rule is used to bundle Android resources that are traditionally stored in res and assets directories.

Parameters​

  • name: name of the target
  • default_target_platform: specifies the default target platform, used when no platforms are specified on the command line
  • target_compatible_with: a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with a configuration
  • compatible_with: a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with a configuration
  • exec_compatible_with: a list of constraints that are required to be satisfied for this target to be compatible with an execution platform
  • visibility: a list of visibility patterns restricting what targets can depend on this one
  • within_view: a list of visibility patterns restricting what this target can depend on
  • metadata: a key-value map of metadata associated with this target
  • tests: a list of targets that provide tests for this one
  • modifiers: an array of modifiers associated with this target
  • deps: Other android_resource rules to include via -S when running aapt.
  • manifest: An optional Android Manifest for the to declare any permissions or intents it may need or want to handle. May either be a file or an android_manifest() target.
  • package: Java package for the R.java file that will be generated for these resources.

Details​

The output of an android_resource() is an R.txt file generated via aapt --output-text-symbols.

Examples:

Most of the time, an android_resource rule defines only name, res, and package. By convention, such simple rules are often named res:


android_resource(
  name = 'res',
  res = subdir_glob([('res', '**')]),
  package = 'com.example',
)
