             Summary: Make gradle alias subprojects in order to handle libs that depend on libs
                 Key: CB-9149
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9149
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Android
    Affects Versions: Master
            Reporter: Tony Homer
            Assignee: Tony Homer


Currently there is an issue with how references for libraries are created in gradle.

1. project A includes a plugin that includes 2 frameworks: B and C
2. framework C depends on framework B
3. C will not be able to resolve B because the reference will be prefixed with the project name (e.g., com.plugin.id/C wants com.plugin.id/B, but only com.plugin.id/A-B exists)

For a concrete example, see: 
https://github.com/01org/APKexpansion

The relevant frameworks are:
{code}
<framework src="AndroidLibrary/GoogleExtras/play_licensing/library" custom="true" />
<framework src="AndroidLibrary/GoogleExtras/play_apk_expansion/downloader_library" custom="true"/>
{code}

The downloader library (downloader_library) depends on the licensing library (library).  However, the references in the project will be created with prefixes that will prevent the downloader library from resolving licensing library:
{code}
org.apache.cordova.xapkreader/projectName-library
org.apache.cordova.xapkreader/projectName-downloader_library
{code}

In order to fix this, settings.gradle should prefix the framework directory, but omit the prefix in the framework references:
{code}
include ":org.apache.cordova.xapkreader:library"
project(":org.apache.cordova.xapkreader:library").projectDir = new File("org.apache.cordova.xapkreader/projectName-library")
{code}
