Question

I tried to create custom ViewGroup class, but when I used method findViewById() it returns null, but inflating the view is ok.

code is:

public class HorizontalListView extends ViewGroup 
{
    private int mNumber = 0;
    private ImageView mImage;
    private LinearLayout mAdapter;

    public HorizontalListView(final Context context, final AttributeSet set)
    {
        super(context, set);
        LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.layout_horizontal_list_view, this, false);

        mAdapter = (LinearLayout) getChildAt(0);
    }

    /**Adds ImageView to LinearLayout (Adapter)
     * g
     * @param image
     */
    public void addView(final Bitmap image)
    {
        mImage = (ImageView) LayoutInflater.from(getContext())
                                    .inflate(R.layout.create_added_photo, null);
        mImage.setImageBitmap(image);
        mImage.setTag(mNumber);
        mNumber++;
        mAdapter.addView(mImage);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) 
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

}

here mAdapter.addView(mImage); I have a NullPointerException

xml code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <LinearLayout 
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:id="@+id/list_for_new_photos">

    </LinearLayout>

</HorizontalScrollView>

Change your code as follows

public HorizontalListView(final Context context, final AttributeSet set) {
    super(context, set);
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.layout_horizontal_list_view, this, false);
    mAdapter = (LinearLayout) view.getChildAt(0);
}

or

public HorizontalListView(final Context context, final AttributeSet set) {
    super(context, set);
    View view = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.layout_horizontal_list_view, this, false);
    mAdapter = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.list_for_new_photos);
}
