Android: Tutorial on Custom View creation

android, uiview

Solution

I was asking myself the same question. Doing a searches on Google, I found some good info. First of all you should start by reading the documentation presented by Google Android:

- http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html

After that, for general tutorials of a view that extends the `android.view.View` class, these seem to be good examples:

- http://www.androidcompetencycenter.com/2009/08/creatingcustomviews/

- http://www.skill-guru.com/blog/2011/01/20/creating-a-custom-widgets-in-android/

As for using the `android.view.ViewGroup`, there seems to be already some posts on the subject:

- How to use viewGroup in android

- custom ViewGroup example?

- Can anyone give a good example of a Custom ViewGroup containing a Custom View with measure and layout examples? (In Java)

Problem

Can anyone suggest a good tutorial about how to create custom view?
