okay, i might be missing something, the reason i think that this is a
bug is that if you use the supplied tool, and cannot avoid getting an
exception - it's a bug...
i don't see any way around it - the way to create this widget is:
a) create widget
b) get exception
c) fix error
d) populate it with the values you want

by the way, i still havent gotten it to work on my app - here's the
code:
<TableLayout>
<LinearLayout>
...
</LinearLayout>

<SlidingDrawer android:id="@+id/SlidingDrawer01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:handle="@+id/
ImageView01">

<ImageView android:id="@+id/ImageView01"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="@drawable/ahh"></
ImageView>

</SlidingDrawer>
</TableLayout>

I guess i'm doing something wrong here - but i'm used to the whole
hierarchical way of things - why is this different in it's
implementation?
Thanks for the quick answers btw!
Sh.
(p.s. if you want to see the rest of the layout, it's available at:
