Question

I have write my own view Bar, which extends LinearLayout. My bar has two places for add buttons or other view. Now I add items to my Bar using code, like:

bar.addItemToLeft(view); or
bar.addItemToRight(view);

I would like to make my Bar able to accept childs view in xml like LinearLayout.

For example:

<com.my.ui.Bar
    android:id="@+id/bar"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <com.my.ui.BarLeft
               android:layout_width="wrap_content"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content">

               <View/> <View/> <View/>

        </com.my.ui.BarLeft>

         <com.my.ui.BarRight
               android:layout_width="wrap_content"
           android:layout_height="wrap_content">

               <View/> <View/> <View/>

        </com.my.ui.BarLeft>

</com.my.ui.Bar>

Is it possiable to do?

PS:

Answer 1

You bar left and right bar must extend a ViewGroup (LinearLayout, relativeLayout) to be able to accpet childs.
