Issue with same package names in android

Description

I have two android application and here are the packages in which they are located.

as you know every application have it's own res folder and if I want to get some string for sample1 I must write com.android.app/sample1.R.string.some_string and if for sample2 com.android.app/sample2.R.string.some_string Now if I have some other project with package

and my sample1\src and sample2\src are linked as a resources to the testingsamples, but when I link src to the testingsamples an errors like "cant find resource R" appears.

What I try to solve this issue

I try to change my all applications package to the same com.android.app in that case when I link applications as a resource to testingsamples everything is okay as R is same and located for all in com.android.app.R but this is not an issue as when I try to install sample1 and sample2 separately the install one above one as they have same package name.

Question

Is there any Idea how I can do that for all projects R will be located in the same place ?

There is a difference between the package name within you src folder and the one defined in the app's Manifest.xml. Normally when you create a new project in Eclipse they are equal, but they don't have to.

All your projects can use the same package structure in their src folders. But to show Android that the both apps sample1 and sample2 are different apps, their package names in the the manifest files have to be different.

UPDATE

Sorry I realized this doesn't solve the problem as the R class is generated under the package name defined in den manifest.

it's because the java file that is generated for R is in sampleX\bin. You might try to add these to your path to solve your problem.

If sample1 and sample 2 aren't separate apps, an even better way would be to make sample1 and sample2 android library and link them to your testingsamples. Thus both sample1 and sample2 R's are fused into testingsamples'.
