Overriding AnalogClock in Android

Question

Hi all,

I want to create an AnalogClock that can display a preset time, given as a parameter.

And I want to draw between the background and the hands. I want to paint the area between the minute-hand and location of the hour-hand at a preset future time. This is to let the user see how much time remains for the current activity.

I thought that I could take the AnalogClock object and extend that. However, when I create a new function that is essentially a copy of one of the old ones, I get errors on the com.android.internal.R.styleable.AnalogClock* objects: "com.android.internal.R cannot be resolved"

How can I import these objects? I've read something about declare-styleable, but I cannot figure out how to apply that to my situation. (Sorry, I'm really a Java n00b)

For instance, the internal objects refer to several graphical things, such as dials, hour_hand and minute_hands.

Here's my code: http://pastie.org/713276

Any help is very much appreciated, I am stuck after hours of Google.

Thanks,

Ger.
