That'd be great, if it shows a complete example of every way you can
configure/modify layouts, views, etc., via xml, and has good
documentation to go with it. I'm looking for more of a reference, not
example code. For example (sorry...no pun intended), I'd like to be
able to open up to a chapter (or section) on, say, ListView (just as
an example that was a recent headache), and from there, see a complete
list of all xml attributes that can be used with a ListView, ways to
modify it---starting simple, with the options for one/multi selections,
to the more complex, including icons, buttons, etc. via still more
xml code, adding an xml drawable to a layout, etc. (ok, granted, for
those, example code would help).

Yes, a lot of this stuff is out there ... I'm just hoping to fine one
book where it's all in one place, where you can just pull out the
book, open it to the section on whatever you're working with, and have
all of the docs in one place.

I understand that this may not exist...and from what I read in a post
(from about two years ago a little while ago), I'm not that optimistic
that it does exist. Still, I'm just asking in case someone here knows
otherwise, and can point me to it. :-)

Thanks,
