Android: resources unavailable from library project(s) app -> liba -> libb

Question

All,

I am attempting to use an existing open-source project (we'll call it A) within my app as a library. Project A also comes with its own library project (B). Project A compiles and runs just fine; however, when I try to use A within my app (I checked the 'Is Library' within A and added A to my app) I get several errors that "No resource identifier found for attribute 'X'in package..." These particular attributes exist within B. I even checked that they were added to R within A, and in fact, they were.

My question: why doesn't my app see that these resources exist?

I've searched all over and found only one situation like mine:

Android library not pulling its resources through to other projects

but I do not see that any of my resources are named the same.

I'm using Eclipse with ADT v20.0

I appreciate any help!

EDIT: If it's helpful, the open-source app I'm trying use is AnySoftKeyboard (ASK). I've also tried creating a new project and adding ASK as a library -- no dice.

EDIT2: Part of making ASK a library required converting several switch statements to if-else statements because R Ids are not declared as final for libraries.

Answer 1

The errors are apparently due to the usage of custom attributes in the AnySoftKeyboard project that you converted to a library. I found that a solution is recently added into ADT (on Rev 17), mentioned in this answer.

As instructed, I tried replacing all instances of

"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.menny.android.anysoftkeyboard"

with

"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

in the newly converted library project and was able to build and run an app which includes the project (didn't really test any functionality though).

Hope this helps.
