This and the Builder pattern suggestion are the right way to think about the design. But you still have to implement a new method to create a subclass of MyWidget and/or cast the return to MySubclassWidget. This is also true with the Builder pattern (if you want to operate on an instance of the subclass of pizza per the Wikipedia example). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
