Question

I want to make a custom RelativeLayout, but I keep getting this error:

And here’s my class:

public class CheckableRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout implements
        Checkable {

    public CheckableRelativeLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    private boolean isChecked;
//  List<Checkable> checkableViews = new ArrayList<Checkable>();

    // @see android.widget.Checkable#isChecked()
    public boolean isChecked() {
        return isChecked;
    }

    // @see android.widget.Checkable#setChecked(boolean)
    public void setChecked(boolean isChecked) {
        this.isChecked = isChecked;
//      for (Checkable c : checkableViews) {
            // Pass the information to all the child Checkable widgets
//          c.setChecked(isChecked);
//      }
    }

    // @see android.widget.Checkable#toggle()
    public void toggle() {
        this.isChecked = !this.isChecked;
//      for (Checkable c : checkableViews) {
            // Pass the information to all the child Checkable widgets
//          c.toggle();
//      }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onFinishInflate() {
        super.onFinishInflate();

        final int childCount = this.getChildCount();
        for (int i = 0; i < childCount; ++i) {
            findCheckableChildren(this.getChildAt(i));
        }
    }

    /**
     * Add to our checkable list all the children of the view that implement the
     * interface Checkable
     */
    private void findCheckableChildren(View v) {
        if (v instanceof Checkable) {
//          this.checkableViews.add((Checkable) v);
        }

        if (v instanceof ViewGroup) {
            final ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) v;
            final int childCount = vg.getChildCount();
            for (int i = 0; i < childCount; ++i) {
                findCheckableChildren(vg.getChildAt(i));
            }
        }
    }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You implemented only one constructor. To be able use views in xml, you should implement 2 other constructors from View:

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

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