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?
