Attribute 'x' is not allowed to appear in element 'drawable'.

Hello.

I'm now reading about layers and I'd like to create a common layer for devices. I wanted to put battery information in the upper side of the screen. So I need some drawable to draw there.

I tried this code:

 <layout id="DeviceLayout">
     <drawable id="BatteryDrawable" x="30%" y="10%" />
 </layout>

So I can get "BatteryDrawable" and draw there.

But the compiler says me:

BUILD: ERROR: Problem validating a resource file: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'x' is not allowed to appear in element 'drawable'.

Meanwhile in documentation I read:

The following attributes are supported by the drawable tag:

x The X coordinate of the top left corner in relation to the parent element pixel value, a relative position using ‘%’, center, left, right, or start 0

The question is: what's wrong? What is the best way to define some drawable area with specified coordinates? I'd not like to hardcode then in code.

Thanks.

The XML schema doesn't allow x/y attributes on drawable elements. The solution is covered in the Passing Parameters to Custom Drawables section of the Programmer's Guide.

Am I misreading the docs on the page you linked here that seems to state that x/y attributes ARE supported on drawables? Or is it just out of date documentation?

The fact that the docs still have this same content, and there is no reply to this comment 2 years later, tells you everything you need to know about this platform.
