Hi Mark, Thanks for your help - the issue was the last one; I wasn't handling the additional parameters - the ctor with context and attrs parameters was being called, and calling super(context, attrs) did the trick.
Strangely enough, using a TextView didn't work for me, either, but I don't need to look further into that for now. Invoking my View in a LinearLayout programmatically also worked. -Craig On Oct 19, 5:45 pm, Mark Murphy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Craig wrote: > >>> Do you have any evidence that your TetrisView constructor is being called? > > Yes - I put a logging line in a ctor and I see that in the log. > > Hrm. > > Here's a couple of shots in the dark, some of which you probably have > already tried: > > -- Try replacing com.technosabbey.games.tetris.TetrisView in your layout > XML with something built-in, like TextView.
