Question

I take text view instance from here:

    TextView date = null;

        try {
            date = (TextView) getLayoutInflater().inflate(
                    R.layout.some_textview, null);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();

        } 

I created my custom textview:

public class MyTextView extends TextView{

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public MyTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }


}

Now i want to cast those:

MyTextView my = (MyTextView)date;

I get exeption for this one:

 java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView cannot be cast to com.myapp.name.MyTextView

So how it should be done ?

Thanks.

Edit:

If i declare date as MyTextView, still get same exception, ther is my xml of some_textview:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="This is a template for date text view"  
        />

Is your XML-layout R.layout.some_textview resource correct?

Don’t use

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ...
    />

You have to use your custom class in your XML:

<com.your.package.MyTextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    ...
    />

It’s very important the class-path is correct!
