I am new to Android development and I have a question regarding custom views and using xml for view customization.
So i my code I am having a view defined using the extended view class i.e.
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN, WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
draw = new DrawView(this, display.getWidth(), display.getHeight(), vibrator);
setContentView(draw);//custom view called DrawView
}
And in the DrawView class I am performing operations using the canvas.
My question is,
Can I use XML layouts combined with this view that I have defined?
I need to add a few buttons to this custom view, how can I achieve that in this scenario.
Thank you.
You can embed a custom view inside a layout. Here is an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#FFFFFF">
<ListView android:id="@+id/channelsLogos" android:scrollbars="none"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight=".20"
android:layout_width="100dip">
</ListView>
<test.poc.CustomScrollView
android:id="@+id/scrollViewVertical" android:scrollbars="none"
android:layout_weight=".80" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</test.poc.CustomScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
CustomScrollView is a custom component in package test.poc
Make sure you use the correct constructor while doing this.
