I did some quick tests to see if there was any way to use the default namespace or if there was any sort of automatic mapping to android as mentioned above. I didn't find anything that works.
Android projects start with this default layout which works fine: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout> Removing the namespace declaration and prefixes entirely doesn't work: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout orientation="vertical" layout_width="fill_parent" layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView layout_width="fill_parent" layout_height="wrap_content" text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout> Just removing the prefix on the attributes doesn't work: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" orientation="vertical" layout_width="fill_parent" layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView layout_width="fill_parent" layout_height="wrap_content" text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout> And using the default namespace doesn't work (it shouldn't anyway, the default namespace doesn't apply to attributes): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; orientation="vertical" layout_width="fill_parent" layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView layout_width="fill_parent" layout_height="wrap_content" text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout> They all got this exception: > java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #2: You must supply a > layout_width attribute. This isn't even getting into the issue with id vs. android:id mentioned in the other thread.
