Support for using DateSlider as library

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To reproduce the problem:
1. In eclipse, right click DateSlider project, select properties.
2. Choose Android and check Is Library.
3. Right click the project you want to use the lib in and select properties. 
Choose Android->Add... and select DateSlider

I would expect that the Android eclipse plugin would add the DateSlider source 
and R.java to the project i want to use it in (see attached picture). Instead I 
get many error messages which i think means that the R.java isn't generated. 
Errormsg: "...res\layout\timeslider.xml:13: error: No resource identifier found 
for attribute 'childWidth' in package 
'com.googlecode.android.widgets.DateSlider'"

It would be very nice to have this working. Dunno what causes this to happen. 
It works awesome with Cyril Mottier's GreenDroid. Check it out

I have not tested it myself but the fork at
https://github.com/Fusion/DateSlider
should be able to include as a library.

I'm also using GreenDroid! To fix this issue (so the project can be included as 
a library) you can simply comment out all the functions in Demo.java or delete 
the file. Hope this helps.

This appears to be an issue with the Android SDK: 
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9656

The temporary work-around is to reference it as a library, copy all of the 
layout xml files into your res/layout folder and modify them so that the 
xmlns:app property references your namespace.

I wrote an ant task to take care of the manual labor which you can read about 
here:

The latest SDK tools "added support for custom views with custom attributes in 
libraries".

I updated to Android SDK Tool v17 and Eclipse ADT v17. 
I replaced in the layout files 
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.googlecode.android.widgets.Dat
eSlider" with
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Now I can use DateSlider as library project.

Still doesn't work and I am using SDK Tool v19 and ADT 18... but I did find a 
solution, once you set it as a library project look in the bin directory, you 
should find a dateslider.jar file. Added that to your project and viola it 
works.

I used michaels suggestion in comment 6 and it does work, I wonder what the 
real fix is though...

+1 for michael's fix in comment #6, worked like a charm for me. using r19 and 
not using DateSlider as a library but incorporated all java/xml files into my 
project and changed package names.

27, 2012)
