@Niko - thanks for your trollish and completely incorrect response... @EveryoneElse:
I did some quick and dirty testing and found that I could at least change the namespace from android: to a: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:a="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; a:orientation="vertical" a:layout_width="fill_parent" a:layout_height="fill_parent"> <TextView a:layout_width="fill_parent" a:layout_height="wrap_content" a:text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout> This seems to work with the ADT layout editor as well, so when new views are added, they use a: for the attributes. Not a great solution, but still easier to read for me. And it handles the id vs android:id problem.
