Question

What’s the best practice to create the View object with the predefined attributes ?

I’d like to use something like

View view = (View) inflater.inflate(R.layout.orangeview, container,
                false);

but it seems to require the orange view to be inside the view group and i’d prefer to have something more standalone inside the layout file – the only view attributes like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RadioButton
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/orangeradiobutton"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:button="@null"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
    android:textColor="@color/radiobutton_colors" />

Is that possible or should i use another approach ?

The container argument is used to ‘size’ your inflated layout. If you don’t want this, you can just call

View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.orangeView, null);
