No, you aren't subclassing (extending), but that's not the problem
with why you don't see the edit box. You are using a horizontal
LinearLayout. That means the EditText will try to be rendered to the
right side of the TextView. But, you have set a width of fill_parent
on the TextView which will push the EditText out of the layout. Either
change it to wrap_layout or (more appropriate for you) change the
LinearLayout to vertical.
Now as to subclassing Dialog, I think you should still do that instead
of what you are doing.
