Request to add a resource. #3246

Open patryk84a opened 1 month ago

Can you add an xml file to the xml folder that will allow the application to be detected by android auto or automotive?

xml/automotive_app_desc.xml :

Or maybe a better idea would be to push out a PR that added the ability to add resources to the extension?

I thought that someone had implemented a @UsesXml annotation, but I cannot find any reference to it. If someone wants to work on this as a feature to support extensions then that should be fine.

I've seen PR about adding resources from an AAR library. I haven't seen anything about @UsesXml. I'll try to search.

Hello! I can work on this 😊

I think @UsesXml wouldn't be as good as automatically adding resources from AAR files, but I think it would give a lot more possibilities than we have now. We could define not only xml files but also layouts or drawables which could also be downloaded from the xml folder.
