Class Overview

A convinient class for access HTC common resources.

Normally Android application is not able to access the resources defined in another package directly.

Android common resources are put inside apps/common/ and will be built to system/framework/framework-res.apk, but Resources (actually libs/utils/AssetManager.cpp:AssetManager::addDefaultAssets()) implictly includes all resources defined there to give applications direct access to them. This can be done because the IDs of common resources are reserved by Android and won't collide with resource IDs defined by applications.

On the other hand, HTC common resources are put in apps/HtcCommonRes/ and will be packed to system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk. Although it's also possible to support direct access to these resources (like Android common resources do), that would require modifying (native) AssetManager class.
