Multiplatform

Introduction#

Amper was built from the start with Kotlin Multiplatform in mind. Kotlin Multiplatform is a technology that allows building a single module for different target platforms.

Resources#

In multiplatform modules resources are merged from the common folders and corresponding platform-specific folders:

|-src/
|  |-...
|-resources/          # these resources are copied into the Android and JVM artifact
|  |-...
|-resources@android/  # these resources are copied into the Android artifact
|  |-...
|-resources@jvm/      # these resources are copied into the JVM artifact
|  |-...

In the case of duplicating names, the common resources are overwritten by the more specific ones. That is resources/foo.txt will be overwritten by resources@android/foo.txt.

Android modules also have res and assets folders:

|-src/
|  |-...
|-res/
|  |-drawable/
|  |  |-...
|  |-layout/
|  |  |-...
|  |-...
|-assets/
|  |-...
|-module.yaml
