I'm making a program for Android using opengl es and I'd like to organize my project by keeping my glsl shader code as separate source files along with the java source code.

I realized, however, that for Android I need to store these as string resources, which are usually stored and managed in the strings.xml resource file, but I would very much like to keep them separate.

Any pointers on how to do this without directly embedding various glsl shader codes into ...\main\res\values\strings.xml?

If you are working with Android Studio, there is even .glsl support for editing shaders. Just create a file and add .glsl as the extension, Android Studio will offer you to download a plugin for editing shaders. You can only place your shaders in your res/raw folder.

You can create a java constants file and put all strings in that but it is not recommended.

  • Do you mean something like a a StringConstants.java file with a bunch of? I could certainly do that, but then it gets back to the problem of not keeping the glsl shader codes separate.

  • there are only two ways of doing it. No other tech feasibility.
