Android: project name different from SDLActivity?

SDL Development

Hi,

Using SDL for Android, you are supposed to call your project SDLActivity, because this name is hard-coded in SDL/src/core/android/SDL_android.cpp. This means that you only can install one SDL app on your phone or tablet. If you try to install another, with a different name (specified in the AndroidManifest.xml file), it will overwrite the first app. How can this be prevented?

The solution from josebagar works, it is simple and elegant. Thanks!

One small addition: in the ant build file the line

should be modified to

PS
Vivat SDL for Android! If you code in C++11, then it’s better and easier then android’s own java toolbox!
