Custom attributes with gradle in style

Question

Hi,

I have one library project with custom attributes.

attrs.xml:

    <resources>
            <attr name="someCustomAttribute" format="integer" />
            <declare-styleable name="FirstView">
                    <attr name="someCustomAttribute" />
            </declare-styleable>
            <declare-styleable name="SecondView">
                    <attr name="someCustomAttribute" />
            </declare-styleable>
    </resources>

In my project I use that library and in styles.xml i have something like this:

styles.xml

    <resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
           <style name="CoolStyle">
                  <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
                  <item name="someCustomAttribute">42</item>
           </style>
    </resources>

When I'm trying to gradle assemble I got:

    ...
    <project>/build/res/all/release/values/values.xml:1421: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'someCustomAttribute'.
    <project>:processReleaseResources FAILED
    ...

or with --stacktrace:

 Exception is:

Gradle app setup files:

settings.gradle

    include '<Library>:<Library>'
    project(':<Library>:<Library>').projectDir = new File('/path/to/lib')

build.gradle

    buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
        }
    }
    apply plugin: 'android'

    dependencies {
        compile project(path: ':<Library>:<Library>')
    }

    android {
        compileSdkVersion 19
    }

Can anyone help me, please?

Regards, Mikhail

how do you access the file in your .gradle file? Please show some code for this — elCapitano, Dec 03 '13 at 15:03
I've added gradle setup information to the original question. — MikhailKrishtop, Dec 04 '13 at 09:19
No, I just put gradle aside for a while and resume to use maven. — MikhailKrishtop, Jan 09 '14 at 16:33

In your styles.xml do not specify the namespace. Instead add this.

<resources xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/your_package_name">
       <style name="CoolStyle">
              <item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
              <item name="someCustomAttribute">42</item>
       </style>
</resources>

That doesn't work :( Neither with library package nor with app package. Add prefix to attributes, doesn't help either. Like this: `42` – MikhailKrishtop Dec 04 '13 at 09:00
Did u try using Ricardo Rocha's answer along with mine? Refer to [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6860886/custom-attributes-in-styles-xml) similar to your problem – LoveMeSomeFood Dec 04 '13 at 15:34

The answer: I've put path to the different lib in my settings.gradle, feel so stupid...

Would this help on attrs.xml file?

<declare-styleable name="CustomImageButton">
    <attr name="customAttr" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>

You should try changing the first line of your attrs.xml from <resources> to
<resources "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

Doesn't work :( Nor `` Nor `` Nor all above with `custom:` prefix in **styles.xml** – MikhailKrishtop Dec 09 '13 at 12:08

Custom attributes with gradle in style

attrs.xml:

styles.xml

settings.gradle

build.gradle
