For additional info: I logged out the attrs that are given to my View:
Attribute 1: textStyle Attribute 2: textColor Attribute 3: gravity Attribute 4: layout_width Attribute 5: layout_height Attribute 6: ttfName But textStyle, textColor or gravity for example have no effect. I thought when I call the super constructor and pass the attr to it, it takes all the relevant attributes... But it doesn't! -Danny On 30 Nov., 15:02, "Danny S." <[email protected]> wrote: > I think this would not work. TextView extends View already...
