Description

There is no reference implementation and I've not seen a dynamic attribute being used in a real-world app, so I'm not sure what its supposed to look like. Thus, the decoding for these resource types is not yet implemented and is stubbed out with the default @res/<id>

Relevant code: https://github.com/Col-E/binary-resources/blob/master/src/main/java/software/coley/android/xml/XmlDecoder.java#L268

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Android AAPT source code or documentation to understand the DYNAMIC ATTRIBUTE resource type, then implement XML decoding in XmlDecoder.java by following the pattern of other resource types.
