<meta-data>
subelements. The values from all of
them are collected in a single Bundle object and made
available to the component as the
PackageItemInfo.metaData field.
Ordinary values are specified through the value
attribute. However, to assign a resource ID as the value, use the
resource
attribute instead. For example,
the following code assigns whatever value is stored in the @string/kangaroo
resource to the "zoo
" name:
<meta-data android:name="zoo" android:value="@string/kangaroo" />
On the other hand, using the resource
attribute would assign "zoo
"
the numeric ID of the resource, not the value stored in the resource:
<meta-data android:name="zoo" android:resource="@string/kangaroo" />
It is highly recommended that you avoid supplying related data as
multiple separate <meta-data>
entries. Instead, if you
have complex data to associate with a component, store it as a resource and
use the resource
attribute to inform the component of its ID.
