hello everyone, I just commented on the bug but I'll copy-paste it here too.
Short version: this is working as intended (and has it should always have been). What is happening is that some styles, like WindowTitle are not public (you won't find them in android.R.style). You should not be extending non public resources. aapt used to let you do that but it was a bug which was fixed in platform-tools r6. The issue is that once compiled, resources are assigned an integer. In this case your custom style is assigned an integer and its parent is referenced through the parent integer. For the framework, only public resources are guaranteed to only have the same integer, build after build. The integer of private resources integer will change from build to build. This means that your custom style is referencing a parent that *will not* be valid once installed on a device. It'll referenced either another resources or none at all, and it won't do what you want. If you wish to reuse a style that is private, you should copy the content of that style into your own instead of extending it. Reverting to an older aapt that lets you do this is basically similar to using a private Java API. Our stance on this has been clear since 1.0: Don't do it. It may be convenient for a bit, but it'll break on devices, all of them in this case too, and it's not good for anyone. xav -- Xavier Ducrohet Android SDK Tech Lead Google Inc. http://developer.android.com | http://tools.android.com Please do not send me questions directly.
