Hi All,

I've been writing an open source library for all my applications I write at work, and thought it might be useful for other people making android apps. Its free and open source and most of the controls are pretty cool

You can get it at http://github.com/ScruffyFox/X-Library, demo code at http://github.com/ScruffyFox/X-Library-Demo and documentation at http://scruffyfox.github.com/X-Library

Some apps that i've built using it include First Aid by British Red Cross (http://market.android.com/details?id=com.cube.rca), Jackson Stops and Staff (https://market.android.com/details?id=u ... s.property) and more to come.

Feel free to fork it and add your own stuff to it, if you feel it should be in the official release, make a request and ill add it in

Feedback is always needed

Hi scruffy,

i not understand you installion.

Best regards,

Hi,

Add it as a library project in your project, make sure your project's target is set to 2.2 Libraries (+ google maps) or higher.

Hi ScruffyFox -

I downloaded your library & demos. I imported them both to eclipse, marked library "is library" in properties and added this library to demos. I had a lot of different errors (even working with Google API) and finally I removed MapOver...java & IconsOver...java. The library itself looks good - without errors, but the demos and library I see inside of the demos project - I have a lot of errors: layout xml files are crying for some attributes while in java files - they cannot resolve any R.<something>.... I'm new in android & basically in java too.... I understand it is not enough information, but I guess I just missed something big. Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

If you try going project > clean then cleaning the project, it may fix some problems, could you post the error log or a screenshot of the errors?

You may have to remove the reference to the x library in the demo project, click apply, then re add it in. Sometimes that happens to me in eclipse.

There's a tutorial on my blog on how to install the library if it helps: http://blog.callumtaylor.net/archives/106
