[android-developers] Re: ADT Layout Editor -- What do warning triangles mean?
This is very much a work in progress, and unfortunately it's not really documented at this time. The triangle icon (which is a warning icon) means that you have requested a particular value for a resource qualifier but no layout file matching it was found and a default file is used.. For example: - Edit res/layout/main.xml - In the top bar above the preview display it should say "Current config: default" - Set orientation to landscape => ADT will look for a res/layout-land/main.xml. - if Found => ADT will switch the edited file to this file (and will now display "Current config: landscape"). - if not found => a warning icon next to landscape is displayed. default layout file is still edited.

I still don't know how long time I will wait. Could you please tell me just an approximate time it will be released?

[android-developers] Re: ADT Layout Editor
Hi, This will probably come in the version following the plugin released with cupcake. Note that even though you cannot use the "add" button to add your custom classes to your layout, you can add them from the XML edit view. In most cases, custom views are properly rendered by the graphical layout editor and you should also be able to edit their properties as if it was a normal class. ApiDemos has a layout with custom views called custom_view.xml which demonstrate this. The custom view renders in the layout editor and its custom attributes "text" and "textcolor" show up in the property tab (they appear with their xml namespace prefix, which we should fix, but it doesn't prevent from using the attribute).

[android-developers] Re: ADT Layout Editor
Could you please tell me when the editor will find all the classes in the project that extend android.view.View and add them to the list? Which ADT version I could expect?

[android-developers] Re: ADT Layout Editor
In addition to this very valid warning, you don't actually need to call any class from ADT. All you need to do is set the default editor for your XML files to be the layout editor provided by ADT: org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.setDefaultEditor(file,"com.android.ide.eclipse.editors.layout.LayoutEditor"); and then just ask Eclipse to open your file using org.eclipse.ui.ide.IDE.openEditor() Xav On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 6:07 PM, Ralf wrote: > > The EPL license of the plugin allows you to reuse the code if you use > a compatible license for your own project. > > That being said, the layout editor has not been designed to be > re-usable as such.

[android-developers] Re: ADT Layout Editor
The EPL license of the plugin allows you to reuse the code if you use a compatible license for your own project. That being said, the layout editor has not been designed to be re-usable as such. That means the API will surely change and you'd be basing your project on something hard to keep up with. We are definitely not at a point where we can freeze the API and it's actually guaranteed to change as we add more and more features.

[android-developers] Re: ADT Layout Editor
Thanks for your answer! My first question means If I develop a Eclipse plugin project, can I call ADT layout editor to edit my xml? Are there API documents of ADT layout editor I can find? I want to reuse layout editor , then I don't need to develope visual editor by myself. Is it possible?

In the future, the editor will find all the classes in your project that extend android.view.View and add them to the list.
