Package binres implements encoding and decoding of android binary resources.
Binary resource structs support unmarshalling the binary output of aapt. Implementations of marshalling for each struct must produce the exact input sent to unmarshalling. This allows tests to validate each struct representation of the binary format as follows:
* unmarshal the output of aapt * marshal the struct representation * perform byte-to-byte comparison with aapt output per chunk header and body
This process should strive to make structs idiomatic to make parsing xml text into structs trivial.
Once the struct representation is validated, tests for parsing xml text into structs can become self-referential as the following holds true:
* the unmarshalled input of aapt output is the only valid target * the unmarshalled input of xml text may be compared to the unmarshalled input of aapt output to identify errors, e.g. text-trims, wrong flags, etc
This provides validation, byte-for-byte, for producing binary xml resources.
It should be made clear that unmarshalling binary resources is currently only in scope for proving that the BinaryMarshaler works correctly. Any other use is currently out of scope.

type Entry struct {

}Entry is a resource key typically followed by a value or resource map.
type Map struct {

}Map contains a uint32 slice mapping strings in the string pool back to resource identifiers. The i'th element of the slice is also the same i'th element of the string pool.

type Package struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}Package contains a collection of resource data types.
type Pool struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}Pool is a container for string and style span collections.
Pool has the following structure marshalled:
chunkHeader uint32 number of strings in this pool uint32 number of style spans in pool uint32 SortedFlag, UTF8Flag uint32 index of string data from header uint32 index of style data from header []uint32 string indices starting at zero []uint16 or []uint8 concatenation of string entries
UTF-16 entries are as follows:
uint16 string length, exclusive uint16 [optional] low word if high bit of length set [n]byte data uint16 0x0000 terminator
UTF-8 entries are as follows:
uint8 character length, exclusive uint8 [optional] low word if high bit of character length set uint8 byte length, exclusive uint8 [optional] low word if high bit of byte length set [n]byte data uint8 0x00 terminator
PoolRef is the i'th string in a pool.
Resolve returns the string entry of PoolRef in pl.

type Span struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}type Table struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}Table is a container for packaged resources. Resource values within a package are obtained through pool while resource names and identifiers are obtained through each package's type and key pools respectively.
OpenSDKTable decodes resources.arsc from sdk platform jar.
OpenTable decodes the prepacked resources.arsc for the supported sdk platform.
RefByName returns the TableRef by a given name. The ref may be used to resolve the associated Entry and is used for the generation of binary manifest files.
SpecByName parses the spec name from an entry string if necessary and returns the Package and TypeSpec associated with that name.
For example:
tbl.SpecByName("@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar")
tbl.SpecByName("style")
Both locate the spec by name "style".
TableRef uniquely identifies entries within a resource table.
Resolve returns the Entry of TableRef in the given table.
A TableRef is structured as follows:
0xpptteeee pp: package index tt: type spec index in package eeee: entry index in type spec
The package and type spec values start at 1 for the first item, to help catch cases where they have not been supplied.
type Type struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}Type provides a collection of entries for a specific device configuration.
type TypeSpec struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}TypeSpec provides a specification for the resources defined by a particular type.
type Value struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}type XML struct {
Pool *Pool
Map *Map
Namespace *Namespace
Children []*Element
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}UnmarshalXML decodes an AndroidManifest.xml document returning type XML containing decoded resources.
UnmarshalBinary decodes all resource chunks in buf returning any error encountered.
