ADT version: 10.0.1.v201103111512-110841
First of all, is this the best forum to ask question about the ADT? I did some searching, and it looks like there isn't an android-specific forum on eclipse.org.
I was following a tutorial in Learning Android, and I got to the point where I had to create a preferences XML file. I created the "empty" prefs.xml file, specifying a "Preference" file. It opened up in the GUI editor for the file and listed a "PreferenceScreen" node at the top (with a "P" icon before it).
On the right side, I thought it was curious that there was a section titled "Unknown XML Attributes", and it listed the "xmlns:android" attribute.
I then tried to add a node to the PreferenceScreen element, by clicking "Add". This brings up a curious dialog. The only visible text says "Create a new element at the top level, in PreferenceScreen.". Below that is what is likely a filter field, and below that is a list box. Both the filter field and list box are empty and appear to be insensitive, not to mention the "OK" button. In fact, the only part of the dialog that is not insensitive are the window controls (min, max, close). There doesn't appear to be anything I can do here.
I'm sure I can enter what I need in the raw mode, but I would think this should work. I'll file a bug unless someone points out something obviously wrong that I'm doing.
