My guess is, that's because you haven't created the TextView or EditText widgets, and hence they're null. Where are you inflating your XML file? In other words, given that you wrote the layout you enclosed in your post, how is that layout used? Off the cuff, I think it will be simplest if you get rid of the layout file and, in your CustomEditText constructor, you instantiate a TextView and EditView yourself, then call addView(View child, LayoutParams params) on your CustomEditText to add each of those with the layout parameters you want. Better yet, you might wish to follow the LabelView sample in the SDK ApiDemos, which cover the case of creating a custom widget.
