Arif-Uz-Zaman

What I have currently as follows not working.....

in attrs.xml file

<resources>
    <attr name="speaker_icon" format="reference"/>
    <attr name="footer_background" format="reference"/>
</resources>

in style.xml file

<resources>
    <style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">     
            <item name="speaker_icon">@drawable/speaker_icon_dark</item>
            <item name="footer_background">@color/footer_background_dark</item>
    </style>
    <style name="MyTheme.Light" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light"> 
        <item name="speaker_icon">@drawable/speaker_icon</item>
        <item name="footer_background">@color/footer_background</item>
    </style>
</resources>

in my layout.axml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    app:background="?attr/footer_background">

    <RelativeLayout
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="center">
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true">
            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/footer_ImageviewSpeakers"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="25dp"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:adjustViewBounds="false"
                 app:src="?attr/speaker_icon"
                android:contentDescription=""/>
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>

app:background="?attr/footer_background" in root working fine but, in app:src="?attr/speaker_icon" in ImageView not working. It shows build error.

## ERROR MESSAGE:

attribute src (aka com.xxx.abc:src) not found.

Please change attrs.xml file like following code format.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="customAttrs">
      <attr name="speaker_icon" format="reference" />
      <attr name="footer_background" format="reference" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

If I change app:src="?attr/speaker_icon" to android:src="?attr/speaker_icon" it will also give me runtime error like below.

LeonLu

Did you try it about all of my code?

Arif-Uz-Zaman

Yes, your demo app works fine. But, same code show the above runtime error from my project. Do you have any idea why it show that error?

LeonLu

You can try to open your project folder. Delete bin and obj folder, then rebuild your project, if you have same issue. If you still have this issue, due to cannot reproduce your issue. Could you share a demo?
