Re: [android-developers] what are the restrictions on the declare-styleable name attribute? (Does it allow sub packages?)

declare-styleable is probably way simpler and dumber than you think. :)

It it is, is a way to give a list of resource names that something is interested in, so that aapt can generate an array of the resource IDs in the required sorted order to be passed to obtainStyledAttributes().  So for each set of attributes you want to retrieve with obtainStyledAttributes(), declare them with declare-styleable.  They can be any you want.

what happens if I have two custom views

com.mycompany.projectname.CustomView
com.mycompany.projectname.subpkg.CustomView

How do I declare styleable resoruce for these classes? (of course I
can name them differently, but is that the only way?)

Here is an example

<resources>
   <declare-styleable name="CustomView">
          .....
   </declare-styleable>
</resources>

would I then do for the second sub package custom view?

<resources>
   <declare-styleable name="subpkg.CustomView">
          .....
   </declare-styleable>
</resources>

If so how does the constant

R.styleable.CustomView

look for the sub pakcage "subpkg.CustomView?"

I suppose I can try it and see but If one of you is kind enough to
throw some light
