Thanks for your reply John P. I think you are right.... if I want to use an inner class and reference it in XML then it needs to be static. That much makes sense now (not sure exactly what I was thinking at the time)... :)
And I was wrong about the Dev Guide. It doesn't mention different ways of referencing them when they are static or not, just whether or not they are nested. However, there is still the issue that when I make my inner class static, I still can't reference it from the XML file... I tried making it static after the suggestion was made, and it resulted in a NoSuchMethodException. For some reason it can't find my constructor that takes both a Context and an AttributeSet even though it exists and is public.
