Hi,
I have declared a styleable like this:
<declare-styleable name="Test">
<attr name="myString" format="string" />
<attr name="myNumber" format="integer" />
</declare-styleable>
I'm using this with the following java code in a constructor of a
custom View class:
TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.Test,
defStyle, 0);
String str = a.getString(R.styleable.Test_myString);
int num = a.getInt(R.styleable.Test_myNumber, -1);
a.recycle();
Log.d("Test", "string: " + str);
Log.d("Test", "number: " + num);
It works as expected when I set the attributes in the layout xml, and
it also works when I define a style with these attributes and use the
style from the layout xml. But somehow I cannot get it to work when I
set the attributes in the theme:
<style name="MyTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme">
<item name="myString">foobar</item>
<item name="myNumber">12345</item>
</style>
When I do this, I get the following output:
string: Avbryt
number: 12345
So obtaining the value of the number works, but the string contains a
bogus value, which seems to be the value of an random android string
resource. I tested this on the emulator 2.2 and 2.3.3.
I also tried to use a package prefix <item
name="com.mypackage:myString"> but it does not make any difference.
Why can't I access a string the same way like a number? Am I doing
something wrong? How can I get the value of the string?
I'm doing this because I want to use a custom font from the asset
directory.
Any help is appreciated.
