I'm trying to understand the whole android.R structure, and it would be nice if I knew where the source of those resources is.
I assume that, like the R object in my own project, it is built from a resources directory somewhere on my system. That directory should contain the drawables, layouts, values and whatever other files are used to create this object. But I'm not sure where to find it. I thought that I had found it when I went to /usr/lib/android-sdk- linux_86 (where I have the SDK installed on my computer), and found the "platforms" directory. In that path, there is a directory for each platform installed in the SDK, and under each of those directories there is a "data/res" directory that contains drawables, layouts, etc. But the contents of those directories don't match what is available in the android.R object while I am developing. For example, under android-1.6/data/res/drawables, I see the following dialog icon images: ic_dialog_alert.png ic_dialog_dialer.png ic_dialog_email.png ic_dialog_info.png ic_dialog_map.png ic_dialog_menu_generic.png ic_dialog_time.png ic_dialog_usb.png But the only android.R drawables available to me in my applications are: ic_dialog_alert.png ic_dialog_dialer.png ic_dialog_email.png ic_dialog_info.png ic_dialog_map.png Does anyone know what's going on? Is something wrong with my SDK install, or is there another source of platform-level resources that I am not aware of? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
