There is no requirement to add the "android:" namespace to attributes in layout files. There *is* a requirement to add the "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; namespace to your file and use its associated prefix with attributes in layout files. > And instead of adding value, > they make the files VERY DIFFICULT TO READ AND EDIT. This is your opinion. > Is there any relief in sight? Step #1: Open up a layout file in your favorite IDE or text editor Step #2: Change the xmlns:android namespace declaration to use whatever prefix you want, such as xmlns:a Step #3: Change all occurrences of android: in that file to your preferred prefix (e.g,. a:) Step #4: Lather, rinse, repeat for all layout files you wish to modify You might consider learning about XML namespaces, rather than complaining about things you are perfectly capable of resolving yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xml_namespace -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.0 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
