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.
