Question

I keep getting an error when I try to set the below statelistdrawable as a background to one of my views. I’ve cleaned the project and restarted Eclipse and everything but can’t get it to work. I can’t even get an example one from the Android developer website but that doesn’t work either…

My statelistdrawable (“honeycomb.xml”)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/pointselector" 
        android:state_activated="true" 
        android:state_pressed="true" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/pointselectorunselect" />
</selector>

The error Eclipse gives me:
