Question

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
     super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
CoverFlow coverFlow = new CoverFlow(this);
setContentView(coverFlow);
}

This is my code, but now I want to place a layout in that same file.
Any suggestions please…….

Answer 1

You can use a custom view in an XML file by simply using its fully qualified name as the root element tag. If CoverFlow was in package com.example, you would code it something like this:

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

Then, if the above were in the file res/layout/main.xml, you would use it by calling:

setContentView(R.layout.main);
