how to handle multiple application classes in android
I am developing a native android application, in which I am trying to use 2 open-source libraries. Problem is both the libraries are using Application Class in their respective libraries. They are registering these classes in their respective source code in manifest file using "android:name" under the application tag. Question is how to handle such a scenario, since as we know, only ONE tag can be used inside manifest file. Can we register/instantiate the Application Class in the code, so that we mention only ONE library in tag and the second using code/pragmatically. OR are there any other alternatives. Please share your comments/suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Answer
You need to implement Multilevel inheritance to resolve this scenario.
This is your scenario
public Lib1Application extends Application{
}
public Lib2Application extends Application{
}
public YourApplication extends Application{
}
How to resolve this?
public Lib1Application extends Application{
}
public Lib2Application extends Lib1Application{
}
public YourApplication extends Lib2Application{
}
finally in mainfest.xml
<application
android:name="com.your.packagename.YourApplication"
android:icon="@drawable/ijoomer_luncher_icon"
android:label="@string/app_name"
