Cross platform way to migrate PCL Resources over to Android and iOS. I built this simply to help me keep all my Resources in one spot while building Xamarin projects.
Put all of your resources in *.resx files in your Portable Class Libraries (PCL's), and run this with your build.
It will automatically
generate your *.xml resource file for Android, and a CustomUIColor.cs class for iOS (more iOS
support to come).
note: if you start your file name with the type of resource you're generating, it will generate the appropriate resource for Android automatically
example:
bools.resx // will generate bool resources
dimensions.resx // will generate dimen resources
integers.resx // will generate int resources
colors.resx // will generate color resources
items.resx // will generate item resources
strings.resx // will generate string resources
foo-bar.resx // will ALSO generate string resources
usage:
ResourceMigrator.exe /path/to/solution
todo:
- Automatically update csproj file with any newly created files if it's not already in there.
- Automatically create the appropriate directory if it doesn't exist.
- Add more iOS support as the need arises.
