Android layout error: “Resource id <res> is not of

I'm seeing an error I've never seen before w/ Android that's preventing some of my layout files from rendering in Eclipse. They render fine at runtime.

The error that shows up in the graphical layout editor (and my Error log) is: "Resouce id 0x1010081 is not of type STYLE (instead attr)"

I've searched for resource id 0x1010081 in my R files, and I can't find it so I'm guessing maybe somehow I have a conflict with a built in Android attr. I've also verified that all of my style attributes below point to actual styles and not attr. Any help appreciated.

Here's my full layout code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/bkg_light"
    android:padding="@dimen/padding_med" >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/relativeLayout_activity"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/button_height"
        android:background="@drawable/xml_button"
        android:padding="@dimen/padding_med" >

        <TextView            
            style="@style/text_large_bold_white"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:text="@string/activity" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView_activity"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/margin_med"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/textView_arrow_right_start_date" 
            android:text="@string/none_selected"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView_arrow_right_start_date"
            style="@style/arrow_right"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
    </RelativeLayout>

    <!-- kv Duration -->

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/relativeLayout_duration"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/relativeLayout_activity"
        android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/margin_large"
        android:background="@drawable/xml_button">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/textView_duration"
            style="@style/text_large_bold_white"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:text="@string/duration_lc" 
            android:paddingLeft="@dimen/padding_med"/>

        <Spinner
            android:id="@+id/spinner_duration"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/button_height"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:entries="@array/array_durations"
            android:prompt="@string/duration_lc"
            android:spinnerMode="dropdown" 
            android:clickable="false"/>
    </RelativeLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

And here's my styles.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="arrow_right">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_xxlarge</item>
        <item name="android:text">@string/arrow_right</item>
    </style>

    <style name="button_blue">

        <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/selector_button_blue</item>
        <item name="android:padding">@dimen/padding_med</item>
    </style>

    <style name="button_blue_small">

        <item name="android:background">@drawable/selector_button_dark</item>
        <item name="android:padding">@dimen/padding_med</item>
    </style>

    <style name="button_light">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/selector_button_light</item>
        <item name="android:padding">@dimen/padding_med</item>
    </style>

    <style name="button_light_small">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_small</item>
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/selector_button_light</item>
        <item name="android:padding">@dimen/padding_small</item>
    </style>  

    <style name="text_small_gray_light">
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_small</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/gray_light</item>
    </style>

    <style name="text_med_bold_gray_light">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_med</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/gray_light</item>
    </style>    

    <style name="text_large_bold_white">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_large</item>
    </style>

    <style name="text_large_bold_black">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_large</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
    </style>

    <style name="text_large_bold_gray_dark">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_large</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/gray_dark</item>
    </style>

    <style name="text_large_bold_gray_light">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_large</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/gray_light</item>
    </style>

    <style name="text_large_bold_white">
        <item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_large</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    </style>

    <style name="text_large_white">
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/text_large</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
    </style>
</resources>

And here's my custom theme.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <style name="Theme.P90X" parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock">
        <item name="android:textColor">#ffffffff</item>
    </style>
</resources>

回答1:

I also have this problem, with the same resource ID showing up. It disappears when I change android:spinnerMode to "dialog" so I suspect it's not a problem with your code.

The id in question refers to the android attribute spinnerStyle. See the doc for R.attr

I found a workaround, namely replace

android:spinnerMode="dropdown"

with

android:spinnerStyle="@android:style/Widget.Spinner.DropDown".

回答2:

Have you tried changing the each style property to something like this:

style="?attr/text_large_bold_white"

回答3:

As JulianSymes says the problem is

android:spinnerMode="dropdown"

His solution (replace for android:spinnerStyle="@android:style/Widget.Spinner.DropDown") runs on my phone but not on my tablet

My solution is more simple: DELETE THE LINE.

spinnerMode="dropdown" is by default, therefore it's unnecesary

回答4:

Delete all style elements and then add them one after another and always check if it still renders. So you can at least find out which one's to blame.

回答5:

As Google points to this page for this error, and for the sake of posterity...

In my case, in a whim, I closed and reopened eclipse and boom the error was gone and eclipse had no problem rendering the preview.

Though I strongly believe this may not be the case for all.

If you feel you have done everything right, I guess, it won't hurt restarting eclipse.
