Question

I have created an own View:

    private class SampleView extends View {

and I want to “plant” this View into a LinearLayout which I created in an xml file.
How do I do that? Can someone help me?

Answer 1

Try to add your custom View like this:

<view
   class="test.project.app.Compass$SampleView"
   //... other attributes
/>

Your custom View class must be public and static for the above code to work.
Another option is to put the SampleView in its own file and simply use the code from the answers above.
