Yes, there is an explanation of this: "For the *id* attribute of a tag in XML, you should use a special syntax: "@+id/*somestringvalue*". The "@+" syntax creates a resource number in the R.id class, if one doesn't exist, or uses it, if it does exist. When declaring an ID value for an XML tag, use this syntax. Example: <TextView android:id="@+id/nameTextbox"/>, and refer to it this way in Java: findViewById(R.id.nameTextbox)" This was taken directly from this page: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/available-resources.html Please read the docs before declaring there is no documentation on something... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 types of people in the world...
