I made the changes you suggested:
I got rid of the XML file. My calling class looks like:
Log.v("Main activity","before new CustomEditText (this)");
customEditText = new CustomEditText (this);
//customEditText =
(CustomEditText)this.findViewById(R.layout.component);
Log.v("Main activity","initializing custom component");
try {
customEditText.initialize();
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Log.v("Main activity","runtime exception caught");
}
Log.v("Main activity","setting custom component");
customEditText.setItem1("blah");
Log.v("Main activity","showing custom component");
this.setContentView(customEditText);
My initialize function is:
public void initialize (){
Log.v("CustomEditText constructor","before initializing textView");
//textView= (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView= new TextView(context);
Log.v("CustomEditText constructor","initialized textView");
//editText= (EditText)activity.findViewById(R.id.editText);
textView2= new TextView(context);
//textView2= (TextView)this.findViewById(R.id.textView);
Log.v("CustomEditText constructor","initialized editText");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
this.addView(textView2, new
LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
this.addView(textView, new
LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
and my logCat shows this:
DEBUG/ActivityThread(713): Performing launch of
ActivityRecord{400a9870 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{com.customcomponent/com.customcomponent.customComponentActivity}}
VERBOSE/Main activity(713): before findViewById
VERBOSE/Main activity(713): initializing custom component
VERBOSE/CustomEditText constructor(713): before initializing textView
VERBOSE/CustomEditText constructor(713): initialized textView
VERBOSE/CustomEditText constructor(713): initialized editText
VERBOSE/Main activity(713): runtime exception caught
VERBOSE/Main activity(713): setting custom component
VERBOSE/CustomEditText setItem(713): set textView
VERBOSE/CustomEditText setItem(713): set editText
VERBOSE/Main activity(713): showing custom component
So, according to the logCat this runs into a runtime exception but
still goes on as if nothing has happened.
the output by the way is just a blank dark screen.
Thanks,
Sylvester
