Hi folks, tl;dr: mobile/android/resources is now mobile/android/app/src/main/res -- see [1].
Details --------- The Photon development team is leveraging the partial Gradle support in the tree to refresh the existing Firefox for Android skin. The future is Gradle and the android-api-15-gradle build job (like android-api-15, but with --with-gradle) is building and testing the Photon enabled build. To that end we're following Gradle conventions for the resources, which means: - mobile/android/app/src/main/res for shared resources - mobile/android/app/src/photon/res for Photon-specific resources - mobile/android/app/src/australis/res for Australis-specific resources Over time, the source code in mobile/android/base/java will migrate to the Gradle convention location, which is mobile/android/app/src/main/java. Future --------- I'm planning to land [2] this week, which pushes the moz.build APK towards the Gradle APK. About a week later, I'll throw the Gradle switch on Nightly, so that we build Nightly --with-gradle. Assuming everything doesn't burn on Nightly, I'll uplift [2] to Beta about a week after that. The idea is that with the prep work on Beta and --with-gradle riding the Nightly train, we'll be better positioned to deal with Gradle related falllout independently of Photon requirements. (The last thing we want is to depend on Gradle for Photon and hit a snag as we get to Beta or Release and a tight timeline.) Follow-up ------------- Discussion is best on mobile-firefox-dev. Jing-wei Wu, Max Liu, and Nevin Chen, are doing all the hard work here -- start with them. I'm supporting the Gradle build work. Best, Nick [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1372486 [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1355625
