There is no specification per se. Each widget documents its attributes as part of its Javadocs. However, since you can have your own widgets (subclasses of android.view.View) with your own attributes, there cannot be a schema or DTD for the layout XML. > I'd like some simple examples, but not like the ones on the android > site.

For example, here are the Javadocs for TextView: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html The second table in the Summary section lists the XML attributes available for TextView (and subclasses, like EditText and Button), with details available for most of them. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
