title: Whats up with setScaleX/setScaleY?
body: <p>While trying to find a solution for the layout that I want, I came across the setScaleX/setScaleY methods, which are members of the View class.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:scaleX" rel="noreferrer">View class doc</a></p>
  
  <p>Now looking at the methods of RelativeLayout and filtering by the API Level 8, since I'm developing an App for >= 2.2, the said methods fade out. But when looking at "<em>Inherited XML Attributes From Class android.view.View</em>" the properties android:scaleX/android:scaleY are still available. Unfortunately trying to use these properties doesn't work and Eclipse says: <strong>"error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'scaleX' in package 'android'"</strong></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RelativeLayout.html" rel="noreferrer">RelativeLayout class doc</a></p>
  
  <p>So it seems like the documentation is contradictory and scaleX/scaleY are not available until 3.0 or am I missing something?</p>
