Question

res/xml/prefs.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
     <com.estysoft.android.preference.SeekBarPreference
            android:dialogMessage="Something duration" 
            android:key="duration" 
            android:summary="How long something will last" 
            android:text=" minutes" 
            android:min="5" 
            android:defaultValue="5" 
            android:max="60" 
            android:title="Duration of something"/>
</PreferenceScreen>

this is my problem is that android:min="5" gives error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'min' in package 'android'. How to give that minimum value to my custom SeekBarPreference?

edit, Im adding SeekBarPreference source to

package com.estysoft.android.preference;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;

    public SeekBarPreference(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {

        mDialogMessage = attrs.getAttributeValue(androidns, "dialogMessage");

You need to define custom xml attribute before using it.

In your res/values/attrs.xml file:

<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="SeekBarPreferenceAttrs">
        <attr name="min" format="integer" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>
