Hi All,

Can we create Custom Layouts...in Android.

I don't want to use the layouts they have provided through XML.[Linear,Relative layouts etc..]

Of course you can. You can even use your own layout in xml. Extend ViewGroup and you are going... You could use the source of ie LinearLayout for reference.

Sadly, it seems that there are significant layout properties that can only be accessed by inflating from XML (e.g., "layout_gravity"). Quite annoying for those of us who like to instantiate and extend objects in Java.

TQ for ur posts,

Can we make use of the components( Buttoons,Textbox...etc ) that we create in Xml, in a package different from the one which contains R.java file.

Because we will not get the Reference of the R.java file in different package .

Say we have different Packages.

com.android.p1
index.java
R.java
Login.java
com.android.p2
default.java
connect.java

If i want to make use of UIcomponents in xml by findViewById(R.id.<widget>) function or others..
can i have it ...currently i am having problem because R.java is in diffrent package.

Can we Reuse the UIComponents in XML by this?

Thanks in Advance......

Of course from com.android.p2 you have access to R.java with com.android.p1.R. But keep in mind this will only work between 2 packages in the same apk.
And as a reminder: Don't use com.android for your own applications (but you probably knew this already).
