stateful drawable not finding other drawables
When creating a stateful drawable, I cannot find the other drawables (9-patch images) that are there - i get no "suggestions" ("intelliSense").
But if I try to find drawables in another XML-file there is no problem.
this is my stateful drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/view_background_pressed" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/view_background_normal" />
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/view_background_pressed" />
<item
android:drawable="@drawable/view_background_normal" />
</selector>
the "view_background_pressed" etc are all there, and they can be found in other XML-files but not in the statefule drawable.
Any ideas?

Answer 1
It's quite possible that it's just Eclipse being funny. Have you tried cleaning the project from Project → Clean?
Or restarting Eclipse?
You can also check the output of aapt to check that there isn't a subtle resource compilation problem somewhere that you're missing.
You can enable more output in the Eclipse console by going to:
Preferences → Android → Build → Build output → Verbose
Then, as you execute a build (or Eclipse attempts to build automatically), you'll see the aapt output in the Console view (you may need to select the Android sub-console).

If you wan't to use custom shapes you need to make them in the same XML like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="@color/lichtblauw"/>
<corners
android:radius="5dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1px" android:color="@color/donkergrijs" />
</shape>
</item> <!-- pressed -->
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="@color/lichtblauw"/>
<corners
android:radius="5dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1px" android:color="@color/donkergrijs" />
</shape>
</item> <!-- focused -->
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="@color/blauw"/>
<corners
android:radius="5dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1px" android:color="@color/donkergrijs" />
</shape>
</item> <!-- default -->

android - how drawables resources stored on device

Android - Reduce the memory usage of Bitmap Drawables
I have a map in my application that shows locations from Gowalla. I use an ItemizedOverlay with a simple default marker, but as the items are drawn, I swap the default marker out with the location's icon downloaded 9and cached on disk) from Gowalla.
The problem is that if there are a lot of locations on screen (say 30), the size of the bitmaps in memory is enough to crash the activity. To prevent this, I only keep...
android - Why does the official Google IO app only have drawables that support hdpi and yet look fine on my small ldpi device?
I was looking at the source code of the open source Google IO App for android, and I relazied that they only have drawables in the "drawables-hdpi" (with only 2 exception out of 50 or so).
Reading the android guides and articles, I came to think that we need to support different screen sizes and resolution, but Google's IO app, which is supposed to reflect good GUI design patterns only has drawables for hdpi. ...
