Thanks, Xavier!

We're adding the callback to the next API for layoutlib. It'll be a few weeks before the first layoutlib is released using this API.

We could change layoutlib to call back to the IDE to get an instance of an XmlPullParser instead of having layoutlib expect kxml2 to be available on the classpath and do the instantiation itself. It's be cleaner, and we have such a callback mechanism already, so it's not too much work.

However the big issue is older Layoutlib. We currently have 22 of them (one for each API level) and we don't update all of them. We've back-ported some fixes back to GB or ICS in the last couple of years but it's more effort that we'd want to do, and it won't cover all of them anyway.

So, we can fix this going forward, and back-port it to a few API levels (no commitment here, we'll have to figure this out internally), but you'd have to figure out what to do when you detect that a layoutlib doesn't implement the new API (and therefore rely on KXML2 being present).

The biggest IP stumbling block we have right now is AOSP's usage of KXML2.   I looked at the layoutlib and from what I can tell it would be fairly simple change for them to depend on whatever the XmlPullFactory implementation returns as the parser instead of tying themselves to kxml2.

I need to do some more investigation if we use layout-lib directly, or if we are getting it from the SDK as it is very API version dependent.

However, we do need to get AAR and Gradel sooner rather than later it is becoming a stumbling block as more and more libraries released are AAR only.

Wed, Thurs afternoon are busy for me, but any other time should work.

I think we really need to clear the IP issues before going crazy with new features. I think that’s still a pretty major risk that needs to be addressed that could put the kibosh on this whole thing.

I'm good through the next 2 weeks. Don't have travel planned. I have a few calls through the week, but I can prioritize most of them.

What day works for everybody to start planning of 0.5-M2?   A couple of big items we need to start addressing.   Gradel support and AAR.   Both of these have a lot of little sub features that need to be implemented.   Also need to still address the KXML2 ip concerns.

Give me some dates and times next week.   I figure we would use Skype.

Dave
