How to import resources from a library project?

Question

I am currently developing an Android-App in Eclipse and trying to use a Library Project to access resources. I followed the description in Managing Projects from Eclipse with ADT: Under Project->Properties->Android I marked the Library Project as is Library and in the same setting windows, but for the other Android Project, I selected the Library Project as Reference.

What happens if I try to access a theme from the Library Project in the AndroidManifest.xml of my Android Project:

<activity android:name="com.bla.blub"
          android:theme="@android:style/Theme.HoloEverywhere">

=>

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'theme' with value '@android:style/Theme.HoloEverywhere').

(The Library Project shows no errors and I see Generated Java Files in gen\ and the .jar-file together with the resources in bin\ )

What I also tried:

• in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

  <uses-library android:name="com.WazaBe.HoloEverywhere" />

• clean, rebuild, restart Eclipse, restart computer, ...

• under Project->Properties->Java Build Path->Libraries I added (and also removed again):
  • the Library Project's jar-file
  • the Library Project's gen-folder as Class-Folder

... without success. :/ Any ideas what I am missing? - It really seems to be a straight forward procedure and I already read lots of discussions about related problems, like:

Android - Is it possible to create a custom library to use across several appilcations? When using an Android Library Project how do you reference xml resources properly?

... but I just can't get it running!

Hope someone out there has an idea! - Thank you!

I think it's not android style. Try to remove "android", leave just "@style"
