How exclude a package from an imported android library?

Question

I have two projects:

1- Project "A": Which is the Android app project.
2- Project "B": A huge Android library project that I use in almost all my projects.

I need to import 2 classes by reference from "B" and use them in "A". I don't need the rest of of packages and subclasses of "B" to be built and packaged inside "A"'s apk file.

If you use Proguard, you will find it's quite good at stripping unused classes and methods out of the final binary.

Why don't you export the classes from project B into a jar file and import that jar in project A?

I thought of doing that, but some of these classes rely on the autogenerated R file of Project B – Shatazone Oct 31 '11 at 14:41

Oh.. in that case you should try using Proguard as @Graham suggested. It's very easy to configure: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4732656/enabling-proguard-in-eclipse-for-android – SERPRO Oct 31 '11 at 14:45
