Question

I recently started making a month view similar to Android 4.0’s Calendar View.

I also recently found a cool eclipse plugin by using which we can step into Android base classes, the plugin can be found here

I am now able to read the class implementation of Calendar View but there are many resources used in it like

mFirstDayOfWeek = attributesArray.getInt(R.styleable.CalendarView_firstDayOfWeek,
            LocaleData.get(Locale.getDefault()).firstDayOfWeek);

So I am basically trying to make a custom view by reading Calendar Views class and I am confused of the properties used by it. I know that they are declared in attrs.xml file but I wanted to have a look at the implementation by Google.

My question is can we also have a look at how those styleable attributes are declared?

In the end, the best way is still to download the android source. You’ll have access to all source files, resources, drawables, etc.
