Hi, I'm new to Android development and I'm trying to implement a custom view to act as a "custom menu button" for my app.
I followed the instructions at http://developer.android.com/training/custom-views/create-view.html but by the end of the implementation I get a message saying "Unfortunately customviews1 has stopped" and the app just shut's down. My approach is very simple and I cannot find any reference about solving this basic problem. Here's what I'm doing: 1. create a new Android project in Eclipse named "customviews1" 2. I run the project and it shows a "Hello World" TextView on the "activity_main.xml" layout file 3. I add a new class that extends "View" to the "src" folder of the project: public class MyCustomView extends View { public MyCustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); } } 4. I remove the "TextView" from activity_main.xml and add a "customview1" to it: <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"; android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <com.example.customviews1.MyCustomView android:id="@+id/myCustomView1" /> </RelativeLayout> 5. I run the app again and I got the message saying "Unfortunately customviews1 has stopped" and the app shuts down. Is there any code I'm missing here? Thanks for any clue, Regards, Victor Reboucas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
