[krekar]

hi, there...

I wrote CustomView Class, and load it in layout.

so i trid to find CustomView using findViewById()  in activiy to get
handle.

but findViewById() was return null.

I need your help .

Written Code is like below:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
 <TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="10dp"
    android:text="@string/hello" />
 <com.test.MapCanvas
  android:id="@+id/map_canvas"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="100dp"
     android:focusable="true"
  android:clickable="true" />
</LinearLayout>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MapCanvas.java:

package com.test;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;

public class MapCanvas extends View {
     // ...
    public MapCanvas(Context context) {
     super(context);
     initialize();
    }

    public MapCanvas(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
     super(context);
     initialize();
    }

    private void initialize() {
        // ...
      }


 @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        // ...
    }
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Test.java (Activity)

package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.test.MapCanvas;

public class Test extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
 private MapCanvas mapCanvas;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        mapCanvas = (MapCanvas)this.findViewById(R.id.map_canvas); //
*** null return.
    }
}
