I am currently writing an open source project that aims to port the famous Holo theme to previous versions of Android (since 1,6!!!)
Everything works fine and I am reall
I'm not sure, but I think the tag inside a layer-list is simply not compatible with Android 1.6.
By looking in the Donut (1.6) source code I see that the spinner is implemented in this way (progress_medium.xml):
You could try that with the Holo drawables.
Hope it helps, Yuvi
