wrong app_name displaying on shortcut

Question

I am actualy integrating barcode scanner (ZXing) as a library in my application so the user don't need to download the BarcodeScanner app and I can add a few use case.

I have no functional issue and my application is working as expected but the name displayed under my shortcuts on the smartphone are those of the library : "Barcode Scanner"

I tried to change my android:label of my application so the compiler can't mix up the app_name of my string/app_name and the one of ZXing's string/app_name. I even modified the strings file of the library to delete the "app_name" element...

I tried to delete the intent filter...

<action android:name="code android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="code android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

...in the BarcodeScanner library's Manifest but it did not resolved anything.

Any hint on the way this app name is beeing retreived ?

Thank you.

PS : I noticed that my com.google.zxing.client.R.java still contains a "app_name" id even if I deleted it in the strings file.

Answer 1

I think I found out, my app didn't have a values-nl folder in ./res. The barcode scanner project did so it localized the app with that file and in that file is a app_name = Barcode Scanner.

I copied the /res/values folder to /res/values-nl and now it shows my app name and the scanner tool is still localized.
