A new attribute!!!

[Rajeev]

From today onwards I'll be posting new attributes related to tags we have already learnt!!!

For today it is "android:hint", which is similar to "alt" for images in html....

try it out in you previous xml files...

I was ill nd left this blank, now I will put 3 new attributes to compensate..

1)android:tag

   similar to id and can be used to call the object in java using function 

   "findViewWithTag"

   http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:tag

2)android:contentDescription

   to provide details of the content of the tag

   http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:contentDescription

3)this is not an attribute but an important empty tag

  <requestFocus />

  the parent gets the initial focus...

  use it and you'll get the meaning of it..

Post here if tags are required for any specific functionality...
