I think this would not work. TextView extends View already... And If I
put the TextView within a LinearLayout e.g. and inflate it in the
constructor of my custom view, I have to set the attributes manually
too. It seems I have to retrieve all my TextViews and set the Typeface
for each separate in the code. The idea of an extended TextView would
be the best and clean way, but I think its not possible as long as I
add the android based attributes to the "declare-stylable set" too...
I think this is really ugly... If I forget one - someone wonders why
their set attributes not act for my custom view.
Best regards,
