I'm using the last android sdk 1.1r1. Eclipse complains about class
android.R.styleable. I can't see R$styleable.class inside of
android.jar\android either. But it's in the api doc. By using java
reflection as below, android.R does have inner class called styleable.
Could someone tell me what the problem is?

        for (Class c : android.R.class.getClasses()) {
                        if (c.getName().indexOf("styleable") >= 0) {
                                        Log .w("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", c.getName());
                        }
        }

Thanks,
Derek

styleable was removed from the SDK; this shouldn't have been in the SDK,
because the values it contains change between releases.  It also is not
needed in any way for applications: these are just sets of resources that
are interesting to specific pieces of code.  You should use
<declare-styleable> in your own app to create an explicit set of resources
you want and use that.

Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to
provide private support.  All such questions should be posted on public
forums, where I and others can see and answer them.

Yes, they are still there, as are many other things in the framework that
are not in the SDK.  Be aware that using reflection is explicitly letting
you use stuff outside of the SDK, and you should could on your code
breaking, sooner or later, one way or another.

Why is this stuff documented as part of the SDK if it's not there?

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.styleable.html

Ummm... it is.  What does your code look like?

I am very confused as it seems I am getting conflicting information.
Basically I using the Keyboard and KeyboardView code as a basis for building
my one Keyboard. I would have like to subclassed these classes, but certain
issues arose that made that approach too limiting (namely adjusting the
background image of each key). So I am having to re-implement these classes.
The code for these classes contains references to
`com.android.internal.R.styleable.Keyboard` and the like. But they can't be
found. So I tried replacing it with just `R.styleable.Keyboard` and get the
error that `R.styleable` can't be found, though I am using `import
android.R;`.

At this point I did some more research and decided I must need to create all
the style attributes myself in a resource file. So I created a resource file
in xml/values/resources.xml with:

<declare-styleable name="Keyboard">
<attr name="keyWidth" format="dimension|fraction" />
<attr name="keyHeight" format="dimension|fraction" />
<attr name="horizontalGap" format="dimension|fraction" />
<attr name="verticalGap" format="dimension|fraction" />
</declare-styleable>

But I still get an error:

    [javac] Compiling 4 source files to
/home/trans/workspace/microboard/bin/classes
    [javac]
/home/trans/workspace/microboard/src/com/tabcomputing/android/microboard/Ke yboard.java:170:

    [javac] symbol  : variable styleable
    [javac] location: class android.R
    [javac]             TypedArray a =
res.obtainAttributes(Xml.asAttributeSet(parser), R.styleable.Keyboard);

Any help would be very appreciated.

Apparently you kept "import android.R" in your source file. Replace it
with the import for your own "R" class.

My own R class? What class is that?

It's generated during the build process under "gen".

Additionally, you might want to try using Eclipse.
