Getting resources of library project in main project

votes

When I was having the project main_app, I was able to access the resources with-

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("xml/" + rule_file, "string", "com.main_app.main");

Now, my project main_app is the library project for the project test_app.

But when I run the test_app I always get the exception at - 

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("xml/" + rule_file, "string", "com.main_app.main"); //Line 5456

The error log -

03-04 15:53:50.158: E/AndroidRuntime(29898): Caused by:
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x0

As @blackbelt commented out,

The package name should be the package of project test_app that is the one we define in the manifest file of project test_app like - 

 package="com.test_app.main"

So hardcoding with the line like - 

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("xml/" + rule_file, "string", "com.main_app.main");

was wrong.

Changed to -

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("xml/" + rule_file, "string", getActivity().getPackageName());

It worked!
