When you first use a name from the android XML namespace, you have to say where to find it, with an attribute in XML like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
However, that URL is a 404 - nothing found there.
The android: namespace is actually included under the locally-installed SDK.
So what's going on here? Why do I need to include a dead URL? Why doesn't the build system pick it up from the SDK like all the other libraries?
Thanks, just looking for the back story on this.
