How do i access android 'hint' style from my custom component? -

i have created own custom component , use android 'hint' style this:

   <com.sheep.emaillistcontainer         android:id="@+id/my_component"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:hint="hint use"/> 

so question is, how 'hint' style attribute set in constructor of component (to use component)?

• i have looked how it's down in textview example, , see it's trying access android.internal.r.styleable not have access to

thanks in advance lior

you can add method:

public static final string default_namespace = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";  private string getdefaultnamespaceattributevalue(attributeset attrs, string attribute) {     string value = null;      int resid = attrs.getattributeresourcevalue(default_namespace, attribute, 0);     if (resid != 0) {         value = getcontext().getresources().getstring(resid);     } else {         value = attrs.getattributevalue(default_namespace, attribute);     }      return value; } 

then use this:

public emaillistcontainer(context context, attributeset attrs, int defstyleattr) {     super(context, attrs, defstyleattr);      string value = getdefaultnamespaceattributevalue(attrs, "hint"); }
