[mono-android] Resources in Mono for Android Library Project

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

Instead of guessing what you are actually seeing, I tried to bind your 
library by myself. After creating a binding library and an app project 
(that is based on your AccordionWidgetDemoActivity), it turned out that 
your "library" is not really a library and I'm not sure if this can even 
work as a valid Java android library project, because I'm seeing some 
resource resolution failure.

(interlude: there was another blocking problem which is a bug in MfA 
that caused resource Id resolution failure; MfA should resolve library 
project zip and add jars *before* generating Resource.designer.cs so 
that aapt could successfully understand 
<com.sentaca.android.accordion.widget.AccordionView> element. To 
workaround this, I had to add the same jar to the MfA app project. But 
that is another story...)

To verify my doubt, I modified your accordionview code (i.e. your Java 
code) to "split" it into an Android Library project and an Android 
Application project that references the library project.

After I moved AccordionWidgetDemoActivity and main.xml to the app 
project and tried to build, Eclipse reported these errors:

[2012-10-05 19:23:32 - com.sentaca.accodiontest] 
/svn/android-accordion-view/res/layout/accordion_header.xml:19: error: 
No resource identifier found for attribute 'icon_resource' in package 
'com.sentaca.android.accordion'
[2012-10-05 19:23:32 - com.sentaca.accodiontest] 
/svn/android-accordion-view/res/layout/accordion_header.xml:19: error: 
No resource identifier found for attribute 'icon_resource_off' in 
package 'com.sentaca.android.accordion'

This is exactly what I am seeing (after my workaround explained above). 
So maybe you should first create a "working" library project which 
really works as a "library" and then use it with MfA.
