android symlink 命令,symlink - Android assets from linked folder - Stack Overflow

I would like to import into Assets folder an external directory, in which there are some files that I need to share across different platform distribution of the same app, basically Html files.

I've tried adding a Linked folder to android project from New-> Folder-> Advanced, using absolute or relative reference. But then

getAssets().open("folder")

Fails, with FileNotFound Exception.

I've tried also command line from assets folder:

ln -s ../../source_folder dest_folder

This creates a new "alias" folder into the filesystem, but Eclipse gets the folder not as a Linked resource but as a normal "Folder". I would go with this solution, but since we are a team of several developers sharing the same project, I believe the alias won't work on all systems, resulting that some files will be saved into the new "aliased" folder, others on the original folder.

In conclusion: is there anyone who came across the same problem?

Is there a way, for a team, to reference an external folder as an Android asset?
