description:
:   A name-value pair for an item of additional, arbitrary data that can be supplied to the
    parent component. A component element can contain any number of `<property>` subelements. Valid names
    include any of the [property constants](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager#constants_1) defined in
    the [PackageManager](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager) class,
    [PackageManager.Property](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property) tags defined
    in classes such as [WindowProperties](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/window/WindowProperties), and arbitrary constants defined ad hoc. Obtain values individually using the
    [PackageManager.getProperty()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager#getProperty(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)) method.

    Specify ordinary values with the [android:value](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/property-element#val)`
    ` attribute. Specify resource IDs with the
    [android:resource](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/property-element#rsrc) attribute. Specifying
    both `android:value` and `android:resource` is invalid.


    For example, the following code assigns whatever value is stored in the `@string/kangaroo` resource to
    the `zoo` name:


    ```xml
    <property android:name="zoo" android:value=”@string/kangaroo” />
    ```


    The code here, however, assigns the numeric ID of the resource, not the value stored in the resource, to
    `zoo`:


    ```xml
    <property android:name="zoo" android:resource=”@string/kangaroo” />
    ```

attributes:
:

    `android:name`
    :   The name of the property. A parsing error results if multiple, sibling `<property>` tags have the
        same name.

    `android:resource`
    :   A reference to a resource. The ID of the resource is the value assigned to the property. The ID can be retrieved
        from the property by
        [PackageManager.Property.getResourceId()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property#getResourceId()).

    `android:value`
    :   A value assigned to the property. The following table lists valid data types and accessor methods for the value
        attribute:  


        | Type | PackageManager.Property accessor |
        |---|---|
        | String: Use double backslashes (\\\\) to escape characters; for example, `\\n` and `\\uxxxxx` for a Unicode character | [getString()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property#getString()) |
        | Integer: For example, `100` | [getInteger()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property#getInteger()) |
        | Boolean: Either `true` or `false` | [getBoolean()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property#getBoolean()) |
        | Color: In the form `#rgb`, `#argb`, `#rrggbb`, or `#aarrggbb` | [getInteger()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property#getInteger()) |
        | Float: For example, `1.23` | [getFloat()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.Property#getFloat()) |
