Can't bind a custom view

Question

I'm using a custom view, com.deadballapp.deadball.ui.pitch.PitchLiveView, but my binding class is unable to access this view. The binding class is able to access cl_pitch_live

PitchLiveView isn't inflated, it's a class that extends View which I'm using to draw to the Canvas so any solution to binding to a custom view I've seen here, here and here don't seem to apply

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout
        android:id="@+id/cl_pitch_live"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@color/pitch_green">

        <view
            android:id="@+id/view_pitch_live"
            class="com.deadballapp.deadball.ui.pitch.PitchLiveView"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
            android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/btm_sheet_peek_height" />

        <include layout="@layout/bottom_sheet_pitch_live"/>

    </androidx.coordinatorlayout.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

</layout>

Any ideas?

Answer 1

This is the alternate method to define custom view in layout xml.

 <com.deadballapp.deadball.ui.pitch.PitchLiveView
     android:id="@+id/view_pitch_live"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
     android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/btm_sheet_peek_height" />

You can bind this as other views, either by using View Binding or findViewById
