Well, what you wrote there wouldn't be valid XML, so I think your memory
is combining two halves of the problem into one. Kinda like how a
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup combines chocolate and peanut butter into a
delicious whole.
(mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...Reese's!)
Drooling aside, your Java class declaration for a custom View may well
look like:
package us.k5rud.experiment;
public class ExpView extends View {
// lots of good peanut butter here
}
You would use that View in layout XML through an element with the full
namespace declaration, since your View isn't in android.widget:
<us.k5rud.experiment.ExpView
android:id="@+id/expView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/TextView01"
android:chocolate="num_num_num"
/>
(In the interests of full disclosure, I have no affiliation with the
manufacturers of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, other than living about two
hours east of Hershey, PA. And, um, needing to drop a few pounds.)
