NoClassDefFoundError in SVGImageView.init() when used in app not using themes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an android activity that does not use themes
2. Initialize the SVGImageView class
3. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.caverock.androidsvg.R$styleable in 
SVGImageView.init at 
com.caverock.androidsvg.SVGImageView.init(SVGImageView.java:80)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Fatal error when reaching this line in the init() function on line 80
TypedArray a = getContext().getTheme().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, 
R.styleable.SVGImageView, defStyle, 0)

As a Hackish fix, i prepended a check for existence of the class before this 
line & it seems to work for me
try {
    Class.forName( "R.styleable.SVGImageView" );
} catch( ClassNotFoundException e ) {
    return;
}

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.2.1 on JellyBean

Thanks for the report.

Can you elaborate further on how you are creating the Activity and 
SVGImageView?  Are you using an XML layout, or creating the layout in code?

Hi,

I'm creating it in code. As part of a soft keyboard provider I'm
programmatically creating a layout,  instantiating and adding a
SVGImageview and passing the layout back to the host.

So in that sense not really a traditional activity

In that case, wouldn't you be using the SVGImageView(Context context) 
constructor?  That one doesn't call init() so you shouldn't strike the issue 
with R.styleable.SVGImageView.

Hmm ok got it... I'll do that instead.

I forgot to say, the other constructors are there for when Android instantiates 
the View from a layout file.  Thus you shouldn't need to use them.

Does the above solve your problem?  If so, I'll close the bug.

I am getting this exact problem when using SVGImageView in and XML layout. I 
checked out your code and imported it into my project as an Android library.

Oh, and this is with version 1.2.1 on Android 4.2.2

Have you marked the AndroidSVG project you created as a library?

Propertires->Android, then check/tick "Is Library"
