All I meant about the class inflating itself was that I noticed one line: ((Activity)getContext()).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.mixer, this, true);
And I realize after analyzing the code a little more that you were inflating an XML resource. Maybe I worded my topic wrong. All I have is a class that I'm trying to add to main.xml with the lines: <com.adamcarruthers.multitude.TapPlotDrawer android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" /> Could there be something wrong with how I'm going about doing this in the XML?
