[android-developers] Re: Building several versions of an app from the same source

It can be quite difficult to properly maintain two sets of code, but
it looks to me that your on the right track... At least as well as any
of us.

The market is shim ply not built to handle a free/paid version well.
It could be, but it doesn't seem to be a priority to the market folks.

The biggest hurdle your going to have with what your doing are with
things like content providers, which have a problem with two app using
thus same authority.
