Hi Greg,
Thanks for your pointer, but it not really what I am looking for. They
are defining ViewGroup in XML and then using setContentView, which
calls custom components' onCreate(context, AttributeSet) constructor.
I am trying to create CustomButton in Java, and if I try to manually
read the attributes in the constructor, it doesn't work.
XmlPullParser parser = getResources().getXml
(R.layout.custombutton);
AttributeSet attributes = Xml.asAttributeSet(parser);
attributes.getAttributeCount() returns -1 here.
So here I'm trying to read Attributes from XML and use them in the
View constructor. According to their presentation, the alternative
approach is to define custom attributes as styleable, and then use
that to extract the values for custom attributes. In my case, I just
want to read standard Button attributes defined in an XML, not
defining new attributes. Does it make sense?
