As a N00B I'm still finding my way round the Android (1.5) API & Eclipse SDK and plugin. I have come across the following oddity...
My aim is to create a main view (a View Animator) which will switch between child views. The question is _not_ about this - and I appreciate the example may not be the right or best way to achieve what I want. However... I create a new Android project. By default this creates a layout/ main.xml resource file. I will modify this to become my ViewAnimator view. First though, under layout I create two LinearLayout files (layout1.xml and layout2.xml). To both I add an android:id="@+id/ layoutN" where N is one and two respectively. In main.xml - I change it to have a ViewAdaptor with two child references, referencing "@id/layoutN". I save all, clean and compile with no errors. But - and here comes the crunch - if I refactor and rename layout2.xml to zlayout2.xml, the main.xml file has the error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'id' with value '@id/ layout2'). main.xml ResourceTest/res/layout line 10 (This occurs when zlayout2.xml is renamed to anything appearing after "main") Why does main.xml reference to resource in layout2 depend on the filename? Is there something I have missed regarding referring to other resources across different files? The actual file contents are: main.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ViewAnimator xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:id="@+id/animator1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <LinearLayout android:id="@id/layout1" /> <LinearLayout android:id="@id/layout2" /> </ViewAnimator> layout1.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/layout1"> </LinearLayout> (z)layout2.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/layout2"> </LinearLayout> Finally, if I comment out the error line in main.xml, then compile and look at R.java under the gen folder I can see the layout2 id. Pointers to further information gladly appreciated; I have browsed the web but was unable to find any further help on this.
