Hi,

I'm trying to create MyWebView by extending WebView. My issue is that when I setup MyWebView in the layout resource (by changing an existing reference to WebView to MyWebView in main.xml), my code fails at setContentView(R.layout.main). My code works with WebView.

Any suggestions? I think the issue is using non-built-in classes in a layout.

public class MyWebView extends WebView {
public MyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public MyWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<MyWebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Within OnCreate for the initial Activity of the App I have:
private static MyWebView mWebView;
setContentView(R.layout.main); <-- FAILURE HERE
mWebView = (MyWebView) findViewById(R.id.webview);

Thanks!

If you checked your log you would have seen that Android can't find your MyWebView because it has no package name before it...

How do you want to develop applications if you can't properly debug? Read some more about the Android log and debugging provided by the platform...
