Hi, I have a problem with deploy a solution.
I have a solution with 3 projects inside:
+Reminder (Solution)
--->+Reminder (project)
--->+Reminder.Android (project)
--->+Reminder.Widget (project)
I'm able to deploy (.apk) Android and Widget but in separate apk, I want to be able to deploy both in the same apk, how can I do?
need modify manifest? and how?

    solved...I hope, create a shared library +ReminderLibrary where add any layout, after add reference +ReminderLibrary to +Reminder.Android and +Reminder.Widget and add reference +Reminder.Widget to +Reminder.Android.
    Some problem rise whit Resources.designer.cs because not always update...
    Is not elegant but work for me, and OT observation: make rebuild is not equal clear solution and after build
    -_- i lose ton of time for this.

    If I understand you correctly, do you want one apk to contain two applications that can be installed on the device, two different applications?if so,sorry, but what you asking is not possible.

    As far as I know, you will not package into an apk unless you integrate the two project into one together(includes adding reference to another project).

    yep two application but not different, to make it simple...Reminder.Android is a app project to write a note, and Reminder.Widget is simple listview widget in home screen, they share xml file where I store note (thay have same package name ). I could use Calendar and AlarmManager to create a reminder notification but i prefer not :)

    i try to add reference to main project +Reminder.Android add +Reminder.Widget, then clear and rebuild but i got error, the compiler dont find any elements in Resources, that ones in +Reminder.Widget->Resources.
    Need more references?
