Hey,

today (well, now it was yesterday) I spent all my time on understanding how this really works, because I wanted to define attrs that I could use in more than one Custom View/Widget. After I understood that by examining the R.java, I found the following link:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3441396/android-defining-custom-attrs

What I don’t understand until now is, that I can declare an attr as styleable for a specific View and use this attr for another View (for which it was not declared styleable) … does anyone know?

And for the author of this tutorial: Very good introduction, sufficient in most cases, I think.

I’m unsure what you mean by “separate” and “referencing” packages. These are both in the same project. You need to use the same package path as specified in your android manifest.xml application declaration.

Hi, thanks for the turorial. I have my attrs.xml in a separate package called test.widgets. How do I specify the namespace in my referencing package

I tried the following and a number of other combinatios. nothing works!

xmlns:test=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/test.widgets
