gistfile1.md

Step 1

1. open current titanium project (e.g. TestTabIcon/build/android/AndroidManifest.xml)

2. update the app name

   android:label="TestTabIcon" to android:label="什麼都好"

3. press cmd + i on AndroidManifest.xml

4. change sharing & permissions

   all Names should be Read Only

Step 2

Open Direcotry

/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.7.0.RC1/android

Open builder.py

Find (Line. 1060)

if new_manifest_contents != old_contents:
	trace("Writing out AndroidManifest.xml")
	amf = open(android_manifest,'w')
	amf.write(new_manifest_contents)
	amf.close()
	manifest_changed = True

Change to

if new_manifest_contents != old_contents:
	pass
	#trace("Writing out AndroidManifest.xml")
	#amf = open(android_manifest,'w')
	#amf.write(new_manifest_contents)
	#amf.close()
	#manifest_changed = True

Open android.py

Find (Line. 102)

def render(self, template_dir, template_file, dest, dest_file, **kwargs):
	tmpl = self.load_template(os.path.join(template_dir, 'templates', template_file))
	f = None
	try:
		print "[TRACE] Generating %s" % os.path.join(dest, dest_file)
		f = open(os.path.join(dest, dest_file), "w")
		f.write(tmpl.render(config = self.config, **kwargs))
	finally:
		if f!=None: f.close

Change to

def render(self, template_dir, template_file, dest, dest_file, **kwargs):
	tmpl = self.load_template(os.path.join(template_dir, 'templates', template_file))
	f = None
	if dest_file != "AndroidManifest.xml":
		try:
			print "[TRACE] Generating %s" % os.path.join(dest, dest_file)
			f = open(os.path.join(dest, dest_file), "w")
			f.write(tmpl.render(config = self.config, **kwargs))
		finally:
			if f!=None: f.close
	else:
		print "[TRACE] Skip AndroidManifest.xml ..................................";
