Android eclipse editor: Unable to edit properties

android, eclipse

Solution

This is a limitation in the new property sheet introduced in ADT 20.

We've improved it in ADT 21, and if you download Preview 4 (released yesterday) you can see the new behavior. Here's the fix: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/42238/

Problem

I'm facing a strange and productivity destroying problem since this morning. Properties with no pre filled attributed can't be edited trough the properties editor. (Margins for example) I need to switch between the view and XML editor every time to made even the smallest change in the world, cause I can only change it from the XML. I tried everything (Restarting eclipse, every click combos in fields etc...). Really annoying. The properties editor: UPDATE: Sound like a problem related to Mountain Lion, so we have to wait for an ADT plugin update ?
