error: Public symbol style/XXXXXXXXXX declared here is not defined.

I encounter this problem when repackaging.

apktool b failed because of

public.xml:787: error: Public symbol style/unipay_dialog_land declared here is not defined.

The style unipay_dialog_land is defined in android project like this:

<style name="unipay_dialog.land">
    <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">80dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginRight">80dp</item>
</style>

So it is looking for unipay_dialog_land but declaration is unipay_dialog.land.

I don't know much about android theme. But as a feature, I think theme parenting is widely used. Maybe its result of some other things, haven't get a clue by now.

style/XXXXX not defined is the only error type

So the decode to the styles.xml fail and generate the wrong name? IE it wrote unipay_dialog.land when it should have used unipay_dialog_land.

Or was this just a badly written application that is only be detecting with a more restrictive aapt binary? APK would help :)

Hello, iBotPeaches. The problem is solved and it's not a issue of apktool.

My own tool chain generates public.xml from R.java. Aapt renames unipay_dialog.land to unipay_dialog_land during R.java generation phase.

Would be great to spin off this "naming convention" topic as a wiki since I've been seeing this more and more with apktool/aapt from non-english apks.
