It seems the online tutorials have not been rewritten to reflect Android 2.1. For they still refer to 'drawable' and 'res/drawable', but when I create a new project for 2.1 using the wizard, I do not GET any such directory. Instead, I get 'res/drawable-hdpi', 'res/drawable- ldpi' and 'res/drawable-mdpi'.
Now for some tutorials, I have been able to get by by putting files in 'res/drawable-hdpi'. But for the TabLayout tutorial, http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-tabwidget.html, this does not work. I still get the error message (on completion of step 3) "R.drawable.ic_tab_artists cannot be resolved". The files "ic_tab_artists_grey.png" and "ic_tab_artists_whit.png" really are in res/drawable-hdpi. I also tried changing the name 'drawable' to 'drawable-hdpi', but Java did not like the '-' in the name (no surprise). So how are we supposed to get this to work? Go back to 1.5? Surely there is a better way. Just for clarity's sake, the line of code I get the error on is: spec = tabHost.newTabSpec("artists").setIndicator("Artists", // res.getDrawable (R.drawable.ic_tab_artists)) .setContent(intent); in HelloTabWidget.java. I get the same class of error message on the other three res.getDrawable calls, too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
