----------------------------------

             Summary: res/values/*.xml don't end up in apk
                 Key: CB-10634
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10634
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: 5.1.1
         Environment: * OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan)
* Darwin 15.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.3.0: Thu Dec 10 18:40:58 PST 2015; root:xnu-3248.30.4~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
* Meteor 1.2.1
            Reporter: Victor Felder


**TL;DR:** My xml config files placed in `res/values/` are missing from the debug apk; the app tries to access these resources (eg. in `colors.xml`), fails and crashes because of this.

* When I `ls cordova-build/platforms/android/res/values`, the files are there.
* When I `unzip -l build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk` to see what's in there, I see all resources **except** `res/values`, it's just not there.
* When I `apktool d -s ./release-unsigned.apk -o ./release-unsigned-dump/`, I see them all, even the `res/values`!
* When I jarsign the apk, they don't get signed. (Verbose mode shows each file getting signed, `res/values` is not there.)

**Long version:**

I wrote a Android app in Java. It spawns an activity and it works properly when used as a standalone app.

I need to call it from Cordova, so I transformed it into a Cordova plugin. I simply added a `MyPlugin.java` to my app which extends `CordovaPlugin`, receives a JS event and spawns the activity when I click an HTML button.

It went more or less smoothly: the plugin gets compiled, the cordova application works fine, I tap the button, the activity is spawned but immediately crashes because a resource is missing.

Apparently a resource is missing. When I take a look at `R.java`, I find it in there:

    public static final class color {
        [...]
        public static int color_myfragment_background_selected=0x7f040007;

This color is defined in `res/values/colors.xml`:

    <color name="color_myfragment_background_selected">#03abb4</color>

which is included in `plugin.xml`:

    <resource-file src="res/values/colors.xml" target="res/values/colors.xml" />

I tried adding this in `plugin.xml`:

    <config-file target="res/values/colors.xml" parent="/resources">
        <color name="color_myfragment_background_selected">#03abb4</color>

and of course, when I started paying attention to what `adb install -r thing.apk` outputs, I noticed this:

    signing: res/layout/firstlayout.xml
    signing: res/layout/itemlayout.xml
    signing: res/menu/my_menu.xml
    signing: res/xml/config.xml
    signing: resources.arsc
    signing: classes.dex
    signing: NOTICE_ANDROID.txt
    signing: VERSION

`res/values` is nowhere to be found. Everything else is here. My own `res/layout*`s, `res/drawable*`, etc.

* When I `ls cordova-build/platforms/android/res/values`, the files are there.
* When I `unzip -l build/outputs/apk/android-release-unsigned.apk` to see what's in there, I see all resources **except** `res/values`, it's just not there.
* When I `apktool d -s ./release-unsigned.apk -o ./release-unsigned-dump/`, I see them all, even the `res/values`!
* When I jarsign the apk, they don't get signed. (Verbose mode shows each file getting signed, `res/values` is not there.)

If you have a clue about what's going on here, it'd be much appreciated.
