     21  * A collection of attributes, as found associated with a tag in an XML
     22  * document.  Often you will not want to use this interface directly, instead
     23  * passing it to {@link android.content.res.Resources.Theme#obtainStyledAttributes(AttributeSet, int[], int, int)
     24  * Resources.Theme.obtainStyledAttributes()}
     25  * which will take care of parsing the attributes for you.  In particular,
     26  * the Resources API will convert resource references (attribute values such as
     27  * "@string/my_label" in the original XML) to the desired type
     28  * for you; if you use AttributeSet directly then you will need to manually
     29  * check for resource references
     30  * (with {@link #getAttributeResourceValue(int, int)}) and do the resource
     31  * lookup yourself if needed.  Direct use of AttributeSet also prevents the
     32  * application of themes and styles when retrieving attribute values.
     33  *
     34  * <p>This interface provides an efficient mechanism for retrieving
     35  * data from compiled XML files, which can be retrieved for a particular
     36  * XmlPullParser through {@link Xml#asAttributeSet
     37  * Xml.asAttributeSet()}.  Normally this will return an implementation
     38  * of the interface that works on top of a generic XmlPullParser, however it
     39  * is more useful in conjunction with compiled XML resources:
     40  *
     41  * <pre>
     42  * XmlPullParser parser = resources.getXml(myResouce);
     43  * AttributeSet attributes = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);</pre>
     44  *
     45  * <p>The implementation returned here, unlike using
     46  * the implementation on top of a generic XmlPullParser,
     47  * is highly optimized by retrieving pre-computed information that was
     48  * generated by aapt when compiling your resources.  For example,
     49  * the {@link #getAttributeFloatValue(int, float)} method returns a floating
     50  * point number previous stored in the compiled resource instead of parsing
     51  * at runtime the string originally in the XML file.
     52  *
     53  * <p>This interface also provides additional information contained in the
     54  * compiled XML resource that is not available in a normal XML file, such
     55  * as {@link #getAttributeNameResource(int)} which returns the resource
     56  * identifier associated with a particular XML attribute name.
