With the introduction of the 12r2 and 13r1 SDK it would seem a few of the theme attributes have changed as well as the visibility and name of other styles has changed completely (as in the old versions are gone). Namely,
- Attribute: android:actionModePopupWindowStyle
- Attribute: android:actionModeStyle
- Style: Widget.Holo.ActionBarView_TabBar
- Style: Widget.Holo.ActionBarView_TabView
- Style: Widget.Holo.ActionBarView_TabText
- Style: Widget.Holo.Spinner.DropDown.ActionBar
- Style: Widget.Holo.PopupWindow.ActionMode
The result of these changes is that applications which implement my library no longer display any style for list or tab navigation. This is a very serious regression in the eyes of other developers who have chosen to use my library.
In poking around the themes.xml included with the 13r1 SDK the two attributes listed above are included but reference to them will always give you a compile error. Even switching my build platform to 11r1 (the folder contents of which has not been updated since February 22nd) produces this error.
For a demonstration of this, you can look at the aforementioned styled sample which has been compiled using my library:
Note that the tabs no longer get touch events when their text is clicked on directly. If you change the navigation mode to list you'll see that the dropdown no longer operates as expected and reverts to a modal list dialog.
I guess my question is why hasn't the change in these attributes and styles been documented in the API differences report? Why are attributes that seem to be defined in the platforms themes.xml (e.g., android:actionModeStyle) and styles.xml (e.g., Widget.Holo.Light.Spinner.DropDown.ActionBar) producing compile errors?
