How can I share resources between the different Eclipse Android projects, so as to avoid resource duplication ?

Answer 1

Put all your common resources into a separate jar and use this in your separate projects.

Answer 2

Eclipse provides 2 ways to do it,

1. Create a library project and include this library projects in two application projects
2. Create a Shared Source Folder, goto your project properties and in Source tab, you can link a folder which may be in any other project and include all files of those folder as a link, without duplicating them.
