XSLT transform single attribute to element

Question

I am trying to transform single attribute to an element. The XSL I use is :

   <xsl:template match="TextView/@*">
   <xsl:element name="{name()}">
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
   </xsl:element>
   </xsl:template>

my xml:

    <TextView
     android:id="@+id/ti"
     style="@style/HTxt"
     android:text="@string/ti"
     custom:attribute="name" />

The above XSL transforms all the attributes to elements. But I want to transform only the 'custom:attribute' and ignore the others. How can I achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Replaced @* with @custom:attribute
Therefore try:

<xsl:template match="TextView/@custom:attribute">
        <xsl:element name="{name()}">
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

But attention: custom is a namespace prefix. You have to add it with the same namespace URL as in your XML to your xsl:stylesheet. Something like:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
       xmlns:custom="CUSTOM_URL"
    version="1.0">

I assume you have a identity transfer template in your xslt. Therefore ads a new template to ignore attributes of TextView (<xsl:template match="TextView/@*" />)

@hr_117 note that you'll need to add explicit priority="..." to both templates, as TextView/@custom:attribute and TextView/@* have the same priority by default.
