My question was not if you're positive it worked the way you suggested, I assumed as much. But if it also worked the way I suggested...

I just saw it doesn't. I know you just said something similar to the conclusion I just reached but before testing this for myself, it was still working in my head, what I described in the previous post made sense to me. I had to see why it didn't make sense. My mistake, again, was that I was assuming since this is a library and my app is including this library, that the resources were separate but they are not (I just decompiled the ActionBar example .apk). The styles.xml files from all libraries and the app itself are merged into one.

I though they weren't and so I thought Android could follow some inheritance path picking different folders on the way. This can't happen because they are all merged. I got it now. Makes a lot more sense your solution now, hehehe. One thing to keep in mind if I ever develop a library :)

At least I learned something today, cool :)
