How to workaround autoomitting fiiles/folders starting with "_" (underscore) in assets folder

Question

I want to deploy PhoneGap app on the Android simulator provided with eclipse. I decided to use Dojo Toolkit which heavily relies on the " _ " convention (starting a file/folder with " _ " means this is a private/internal module).

Basically the problem is that while deploying the app, every file/folder starting with "_" is omitted. This completely messes things up, Dojo toolkit as exptected fails to work.

Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

aaptOptions{
    ignoreAssetsPattern  '!.svn:!.git:!.ds_store:!*.scc:.*:!CVS:!thumbs.db:!picasa.ini:!*~'
}

add the above lines in the application build.gradle file inside android block for android app

First go star this issue so Google will fix the bug eventually. If you are running on Mac or Linux there is a patched aapt that fixes the bug here. Other than that your only choice is to do a build of Dojo so that it is only in one file.
