android- ADT 18.0 styles
adt, android
Solution
According to the `android.R.style` documentation there isn't a `Widget.RatingBar.Small` style (any longer), which appears to be the reason why Eclipse is giving you that error.
Comparing the `styles.xml` files from e.g. API level 7 and 15 it appears that the style isn't public anymore. If I try to reference it in Eclipse, I actually get an error message that confirms this
Error: Resource is not public. (at 'style' with value '@android:style/Widget.RatingBar.Small').
As far as I can tell, there are several options you have here:
- Do as @havexz suggests and copy over the original style and referenced resources. Unfortunately, this will give your stars a fixed appearance on every device. In other words: you don't get the ability to use theme-based resources from e.g. the device's manufacturer and the stars will look different from what the user is used to.
- Reference `style="?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall"` when you declare the `RatingBar`. You can, however, not inherit from this theme-based style, so any customizations to the default 'small' style will have to be copied over to all your other small rating bars.
- If you target Honeycomb or above devices, you could refer to `Widget.Holo.RatingBar.Small` or `Widget.Holo.Light.RatingBar.Small`. You probably design your app against either one, so you'll know at design time which style to inherit from.
- It appears you limit the height of the small `RatingBar` further down anyhow, so you may be able to get away with just inheriting from the regular `RatingBar` style?
