Problem when using android.support_compatibility-v7-mediarouter_apklib_19.0.1

[mlromramse]

We are struggling to create a Google ChromeCast aware app but gets into unrecoverable error with the mediarouter apklib.

We believe that the cause is that mediarouter is dependent on the appcompat apklib and that they are not aware of each other at compile phase.

To prove this problem we have built a very small app, poe.

When leaving the appcompat apklib in our pom and commenting out the mediarouter apklib dependencies our small ProofOfError, poe, app compiles. With the mediarouter apklib, not so much.

Please give us a hint on what to do to manage this or request the sample app from us if you need.

By google responses it's apparent that we are not the only ones trying to do this.

Best Regards

Mikael Larsson

What version of the android maven plugin are you using?

[mlromramse]

Hi,
We are using version 3.8.2 of android maven plugin.

Not sure if i understood this correct but it sound like the issue i had, none of the pom files for the apk libs include a pom defining their dependencies when built. I had to make some changes to the pom in compatibility-v7-mediarouter.
I added pom.xml under the for the apklib.

I was planning on filing a issue for it but totally forgot about it after getting it to work.

I've been discussing this with Giorgos on stackoverflow for a while now at it seems that he has a solution. I haven't tried it yet and would feel better if it is corrected by you guys.

Edvald is describing above the same solution as I do in the stackoverflow thread. We're working on the same project and this is how we solved it.
