Android RatingBar weirdness: Whenever I add a RatingBar to my layout, a bunch of the generated tags, (e.g., R.layout.selectgame) throw off errors as if they are undefined

Question

Whenever I use a RatingBar view in my layout, I suddenly get all kinds of compile errors. I'm using Android 2.0, but I've also tried 2.0.1, and 2.1, without joy. I also get a message: Shader 'android.graphics.BitmapShader' is not supported in Layout Editor, and an odd warning which may or maynot be related: warning: Ignoring InnerClasses attribute for an anonymous inner class that doesn't come with an associated EnclosingMethod attribute.

I've tried using the RatingBar both within a tablelayout and outside it, but it behaves the same way. This is very puzzling and frustrating. Please help if you can.

Sincerely, Ray

Here's the XML:

Answer 1

The android:id attribute of your RatingBar seems odd:

android:id="@+/gi_player_rating"

Presumably you meant:

android:id="@+id/gi_player_rating"

Try fixing that and see if the problem persists.
