EDIT: A solution has been found, courtesy of XDA member titanic_fanatic, who compiled a Windows version of aapt that accepts uppercase letters in XML filenames! (Read his original message here.) I've attached it to this post. One of the biggest hurdles to effective theme creation in Windows is finally solved!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but I know that it's something that's annoyed theme developers under Windows for a while now. I seem to recall seeing hints about fixing this, but I've done search after search, and can't find it to save my life.
Theme Chooser theme developers under Windows are hobbled by the fact that XML filenames can't contain uppercase letters, which prevents us from theming certain applications (example: com_keramidas_TitaniumBackup.xml would be needed for Titanium Backup). I know that this is a problem related to aapt.exe. Has anyone come up with a workable solution for this issue? If not, I'd like to take a crack at it. I might not get anywhere, but I have nothing to lose.
Obviously, in order to do this, I'll need the source for it. I can do the heavy lifting regarding getting the source and working out how to compile it for Windows, but I need to know where the source is, what to get, and other requirements. If anyone can help and point me in the right direction(s), I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks, I guess I'll have to after all (not that I mind doing it). Over 250 views and only one person to respond isn't giving me much hope that someone has an answer.
Have you found a solution for windows ?
Any solution?
Randomly came across this thread looking for info on compiling the aapt binary for Windows. I'm still looking for the answer for that but I do know the change that needs to be made and how to do that part, as I have already done this mod for aapt on Linux. You have to have a full build environment set up, and by that I mean set up to build a full ROM, like CM10 for example. The change to make is in the frameworks source code at frameworks/base/tools/aapt/Resource.cpp.
See this commit for the details:
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/24204/
Add the parts I highlighted in blue to the two lines below:
Code:
String16 baseName(it.getBaseName());
const char16_t* str = baseName.string();
const char16_t* const end = str + baseName.size();
while (str < end) {
if (!((*str >= 'a' && *str <= 'z')
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"][B]|| (*str >= 'A' && *str <= 'Z')[/B][/COLOR]
|| (*str >= '0' && *str <= '9')
|| *str == '_' || *str == '.')) {
fprintf(stderr, "%s: Invalid file name: must contain only [a-z[COLOR="RoyalBlue"][B]A-Z[/B][/COLOR]0-9_.]\n",
it.getPath().string());
hasErrors = true;
}
str++;
}

Thank you for your help but could you tell me where can I find frameworks/base/tools/aapt/Resource.cpp?
I don't understand where to find it?
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I've finally come across a Windows version of aapt.exe that accepts uppercase letters in XML filenames, courtesy of XDA user titanic_fanatic. I've modified the first post in the thread with the details. Happy theming!

You need to have an Android source tree to rebuild any components. The xdandroid guide would be the quickest:
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_the_Source
Any rebuilds of the RIL need to be placed in /lib/froyo/ of the rootfs rather than /system/lib where Android puts it.
BTW htcgeneric-ril.so is C, while the line you want to add is Java. Are you sure thats the right place to patch it?
Thanks Tremere.

i am newbie in C and java.
So i can not figure out this code is wrong.
i am sure that postion of code is right.
but just android source is download and make then compile is complete ?
must compile whole android source but only 'libhtcgeneric-ril.so' ?
that's too difficult to me. i am newbie at linux, C .
Sorry i am totally wrong.
thas is too difficult.
mmmmm......
I am give up..
I am relatively new to programing and have been teaching myself as I go. I am trying to now integrate ESPN's API into my app which outputs XML data. I have done enough research to understand that I need to use an XML parser and that the XML can be displayed as a list view or web view by adding HTML markup.
I would like this thread to become a general discussion for all new developers on what XML parsing is and what it does. How it works, the code behind it etc.
I am currently trying to modify a code snippet from the developer.google.com website.
Android includes built in libraries for XML Parsing.
You can see a minimal use of the library here:
Code:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;
import org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParser;
import org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserException;
import org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserFactory;
public class SimpleXmlPullApp
{
public static void main (String args[])
throws XmlPullParserException, IOException
{
XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();
xpp.setInput( new StringReader ( "<foo>Hello World!</foo>" ) );
int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT) {
System.out.println("Start document");
} else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
System.out.println("Start tag "+xpp.getName());
} else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG) {
System.out.println("End tag "+xpp.getName());
} else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT) {
System.out.println("Text "+xpp.getText());
}
eventType = xpp.next();
}
System.out.println("End document");
}
}
So essentially, you can grab the xml from ESPN, save it to a file, parse it with that library, and output as desired.
Full details here: http://developer.android.com/reference/org/xmlpull/v1/XmlPullParser.html
the fastest way I know is the parser written in c/c++ and compiled with ndk.

I will have to try out this code. Because I am learning as I go there are many things in java I don't yet understand which ultimately make it a lot harder to accomplish tasks but I am slowly catching on
If you want to do this in a .NET (Windows x86/64, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone) environment, or a Linux MONO environment then the following will carry out the bare minimum of parsing.
Assuming you have the data in an XML file :- PARAMS.XML in the same folder as the program, created similar to this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<PARAMS>
<Library>TESTLIB</Library>
<Source>C:\RetData\</Source>
</PARAMS>
Then the following C# code will read and extract the parameters:
Code:
using System.Xml;
string LibName,RetDir;
XmlReader xrdr = XmlReader.Create(Application.StartupPath+"\\PARAMS.xml");
xrdr.ReadToFollowing("Library");
Libname=xrdr.ReadElementContentAsString();
xrdr.ReadToFollowing("Source");
RetDir = xrdr.ReadElementContentAsString();
xrdr.Close();
After executing this code then:
LibName = "TESTLIB"
RetDir = "C:\RetData\"
CAVEAT:
I mentioned that this is the bare minimum. An XmlReader object is a forward only reader. Also, this code has no error checking.
In this case the elements must be read in the order they occur or the reader will encounter a null element and throw an error.
I know most of you don't expect me starting a thread in the Q&A but I am out of ideas. I googled, searched, duh, but found nothing that could be useful to me.
The problem is that the file attached is giving me an error.
Code:

And yeah, to my surprise I did try repo syncing. o.o
You are missing an } sine the compiler passes by the typedef thing. Also you are misssing an ; but most of the errors are from }. I'll look over the code and I'll chech for the misssing/wrong }.

I hate reviving a dead thread, but I'm going through the same problem right now, building CM9, and I got the same Acodec.cpp errors. I also checked the file and it was written correctly. I'm not sure how to fix this, and could use some help from the community.

I can't access PasteBin from work (they consider the text there to be "Personal Storage & Backup"), so the file in it's entirety is attached after pasting into a .txt file.
This is Line 176, mentioned in the error code, with 5 lines before and after:
Code:
#endif
#endif //QCOM_HARDWARE
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
struct ACodec::BaseState : public AState {
BaseState(ACodec *codec, const sp<AState> &parentState = NULL);

enum PortMode {
KEEP_BUFFERS,
and this is line 3041, with 5 before (3041 is the last line):
Code:
LOGV("FlushingOutputState Change state to port settings changed");
mCodec->changeState(mCodec->mOutputPortSettingsChangedState);
}
}
#endif
} // namespace android
I'm totally lost as far as this file goes. I'm no good with C++... Thank you for taking an interest, I really do appreciate it. I messaged Nick Bacon (OP) and he gave me some suggestions, but nothing really panned out.
I removed "//QCOM_HARDWARE" from line 172 and am brunching as we speak. I'll edit with the results in a few.
EDIT: No good. Same error.
2nd EDIT: I added a ";" and two carriage returns before "struct" on line 176, and that seemed to just give me more errors:

Well, I don't even have the libraries used in this code and its a large piece of code. So what I can suggest you is setting breakpoints and debugging in Eclipse or a good IDE. OR alternatively you can use gdb or valgrind to see extended flaws in the code. Because just rectifying the bugs in the code would definitely solve the issue.

Good to hear your success with this tool :good:
As those horrible files are automatically created by Windows when you browse your images, it's advisable to run this tool whenever you are getting to release the theme, just before zipping.
Nice regards.

This is ridiculous. And the themer was unaware that they are there. Yes! they are still there because yours exact description of the authors behaviour is what almost all of them has.
EDIT: WROST! All these junk are being flashed into users devices that are too unaware of what is happening.
If you wish, more details about this issue can be found in the below thread:
[THEMERS][ATTENTION REQUIRED] Minimum Theme Quality Control
Thank you very much.

Hi speedyranger
Thanks for you words.
I've been experiencing the same reception for the matter as you've did.
Unfortunately I've could determine that YES ... it's a big deal!
See what I've found out there:

I could not replicate the same behaviour you are having.
When you do not select a ZIP file the following window will open:
If the ZIP is informed correctly and there is no evidence of junk inside, you will receive the following message:
And the correspondent log file will look like this:
Code:

Can you upload the ZIP you've select so I could try to replicate the error here.
Can't imagine what is causing your behaviour.

It's my mistake. It's having trouble with paths that contain spaces or special chars.
As you may know its 03:00AM here and WE are not so young.
Will be promptly correcting the tool as soon as I wake up.
Thank you for your support and testing my flaws.
Nice regards.

Idiot's Sticky for tomorrow
Long filepath names needs double quotes to be passed to the OS.

Hi pas2001 and ALL
Sorry for the delay.
Updated END-USER package is available at OP.
The problem (I've left inside) was that the script could not deal with Long Path Names.
Should work as expected now. Please report any problem.
Nice regards.

Hi Pas
Sure @aki-saar's theme is DETHUMBED ... He is one of the few aware of the matter AND have 'balls' to look after his own work with the necessary competence.
But I could not find his theme releasing post ... Where do we can delight our eyes with ?
@aki-saar ... don't be shy dude ... Your theme compared to what we had already seen from 'Recognizeds' sure will be light years ahead!
PUBLISH IT !!!
Nice regards.

I'll release the new "clean" version in a few days in a German speak forum. Will send u the link
Edit...
Is every *. dB file junk? I found a lot of in a Rom zip.
According to document, trying to use MODE_WORLD_READABLE will crash the module UI with a SecurityException.
I've tried to use a ContentProvider, but unable to get the Context object in handleLoadPackage (Illegal state).
Is there any better way?
Tried to downgrade targetSdkVersion, the app no longer crashes but XSharedPreferences still can't read the file (the preferences file is already world readable)
You can use Remotepreferences (awesome library!). You will need a context however, so it is not suitable for methods in initzigote or where you can't access the context. I think is the only way as of now.

Remotepreferences will complicate things.
The easiest way to do is to remove the below line
Code:
getPreferenceManager().setSharedPreferencesMode(MODE_WORLD_READABLE);
And add the following on class level.
Code:
@Override
public void onPause() {
super.onPause();
// Set preferences permissions to be world readable
// Workaround for Android N and above since MODE_WORLD_READABLE will cause security exception and FC.
final File dataDir = new File(getActivity().getApplicationInfo().dataDir);
final File prefsDir = new File(dataDir, "shared_prefs");
final File prefsFile = new File(prefsDir, getPreferenceManager().getSharedPreferencesName() + ".xml");
if (prefsFile.exists()) {
dataDir.setReadable(true, false);
dataDir.setExecutable(true, false);
prefsDir.setReadable(true, false);
prefsDir.setExecutable(true, false);
prefsFile.setReadable(true, false);
prefsFile.setExecutable(true, false);
}
}
This method will work on any sdk :good:
I tested it myself and it is working fine.
Thanks to @PunchUp @pyler

Yeah but it seems an hacky thing. It will work with any Android? With selinux enabled? On custom ROMs? Surely Remotepreferences complicate things but is the best way (also for previous Android versions) of reading the preferences file. Anyway this can be another solution :good:
EDIT: I also found in marshmallow my apps was randomly failing reading the preferences (no real reason) and Remotepreferences solved the problem.

With any android version - Yes
Will it work with previous android version - Yes
On custom ROMs - Yes
With selinux enabled ? - not tested yet. But I think it works.

Previous versions: I was speaking about another thing. See edit. Anyway it's another way, 2 is always better than 1.
