[android-developers] Re: partition UI

This is a large OEM app running on a custom tablet-like display, so
it's not going on the market and has nothing to do with a cellphone.

Our current system uses a single exe and multiple dll's which all
create widgets from a shared widget library. So currently we can make
a change to only one of the dll's, which could change the widgets
owned by this dll, without rebuilding the exe and other dll's. With
Android everything is packaged into a single APK. Within this APK we
could have multiple jar's, however making a UI change to one of the
jars would require the whole APK be rebuilt, if I understand this
correctly.
