It seems that the Android resource compiler does not take into account linked folders (in Eclipse sense) in the assets folder. Question - is there a way to forcibly designate a folder of my choice as Android project assets?

Short of copying or hardlinking into project assets, I mean.

  • @phatblat : Eclipse accepts the settings and does a build. But apk file does not contain the files inside linked folder. Is there any other setting that is required? I am using Eclipes 3.7.0 on MacOS X Snow Leopard – user906825 Jan 10 '12 at 23:29

The aapt command takes an -A switch ("additional directory in which to find raw asset files"). How you customize Eclipse's calls to aapt to use this switch is beyond my expertise.
