That doesn't work. findViewById will fail when you haven't yet setContentView Try one of these approaches. ===begin custom_view.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <com.example.MyView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent"/> ===end custom_view.xml ==snip from CustomViewActivity.java @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.custom_view); ==end snip from CustomViewActivity.java You can also embed your view in another Layout, just give it an id: ===container.xml=== <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <com.example.MyView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/custom_view/> </LinearLayout> ===end container.xml=== ==snip from ContainerActivity.java @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.container); MyView myCustomView = (MyView)findViewById(R.id.custom_view); ==end snip Make sure the MyView class has a constructor that takes a Context and an ApplicationSet and invokes super(Context, ApplicationSet) Dale -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
