[All Associate Android Developer Questions]

Working with Custom View. Once you define the custom attributes, you can use them in layout XML files just like built-in attributes. The only difference is that your custom attributes belong to a different namespace. Instead of belonging to the http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android namespace, they belong to:

Ahttp://schemas.android.com/apk/res/[your package name]

Bhttp://schemas.android.com/apk/[your package name]

Chttp://schemas.android.com/[your package name]

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. Custom attributes, different namespace, package name. Yeah, A is definitely the way to go here.

Nah, Nobuko, that's not right. The 'res' part is only for the built-in Android attributes. For custom attributes, it's just the package name after the base URL.

Wait, are you sure it's not B or C? I thought the namespace had to include the 'res' part, like http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/[your package name].

Yeah, I agree with Charlene. That's the correct namespace for custom attributes in Android. I remember learning that in my prep materials.

Seriously? This is a gimme. If you can't get this right, you probably shouldn't be taking the exam in the first place. It's like asking a mechanic what a wrench is used for.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. I'd say the answer is A - our custom attributes belong to the http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/[your package name] namespace.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I think I'm going to go with B, just to be different. You know, keep the exam committee on their toes.

What's the big deal? It's just a namespace, right? As long as you know where your custom attributes live, it should be easy to answer this question.

Ah yes, the custom attribute namespace question. I remember struggling with this one during my prep. It's important to remember that the namespace needs to be specific to your package name, not just the generic Android namespace.

I've seen this question before, and it's a tricky one. The correct answer is definitely A, but I can see why some people might get confused with the different namespace options.
