That is shorthand to reference the package attribute in the root manifest element. So, if your manifest were: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.commonsware.android.activities" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0.0"> <application android:label="@string/app_name"> <activity android:name=".IntentTabDemo" android:label="@string/app_name"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> The .IntentTabDemo in android:name really expands to com.commonsware.android.activities.IntentTabDemo. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
