Bump. I am facing much the same issue, so let me pose my dilemma which I think is similar to yours (and hopefully not hijack your thread).
My View doesn't use an XML layout, I just reference a View subclass defined in the Action class. The app consists of an empty canvas that the user can create/interact with various 2D objects. That's the easy part, but I want an onscreen widget to appear on the right side of the screen that allows the user to select various objects to create. Because there can be several objects the widget will just display the two or three most recently used objects, and expand to present all possible objects when an expansion button is clicked. Due to the highly specific nature of this widget I was thinking I needed to write my own custom widget, but was unsure how I could integrate this into my existing view. Is it possible to display a small widget inline in this manner? RailSoft, the other option I am considering is using Drawable to create this widget on the Canvas, detecting mouseclicks, and handling the action that way. Doesn't sound like that is the right way to do it within the Android architecture, however.
