Android SDK info about XML Layout tag attributes

I'm studying the Android SKD Documentation and I was wondering where I can find information about the XML tags' attributes that are used when defining the layout of the interface of your application, like the android:name, android:id, class: attributes of the fragment tag etc.. I can not find them in the Reference documentation, which lists only the documentation of Java classes.. Is there any specific documentation about XML tags and attributes, organized like the Java Reference docs?

The short answer is that: it is in there. The layout tags specific to a class are typically in a subclass LayoutParams for example RelativeLayout.LayoutParams. However since most classes we use are derived from some (great-great-grand-)parent class, we climb up the hierarchy to find until we find the tag we want. The simplest way is to find details the attribute your are interested in is to search for it.

If you ever find a master list, let me know. Until then I rely on IDEs like Eclipse with auto-complete features for a quick reference.
