Bug? Manifest file bug?

[stanks]

hi

there is smthg strange with widgets and manifest file. today i tried to set my widget name as "exmpl1 & exmpl2". compiler gave me err

AndroidManifest.xml:35: error: Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)

after that i opened manifest file and looked at line 35 and i noticed that widget name. then i remove "&" and set name as exmpl1_exmpl2 and it seems that everything is ok. compiles ok.

It is not strange. The ampersand needs to be escaped otherwise the generated XML is not valid:

rv = ConfigureHomeWidget("L1", "rv", 60, "Hello & Widget", True)

i thought that this doesn't matter because it is string....oh well...thanks

The compiler takes the string from this special command and put it in the XML file.
