Hey all,

I'm trying to use some common formatting for a number of different
labels, all with different text.  From
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/02/android-layout-tricks-2-reusing-layouts.html
, it seems as though I should be able to do something like the
following:

<include android:text="@string/description" layout="@layout/label"/>

where, in label.xml, I have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
<!-- more detailed formatting to come later -->
  />

For some reason, the text of the label is showing up empty when I do
this.  But I can successfully add an ID in this fashion, and then
change the text of the label in my application code. For example:

<include android:id="@+id/description_label" layout="@layout/label"/>

I've tried googling for the answer, but haven't gotten anywhere.  Any
insight into why this is happening would be much appreciated.
