OK. So why is the documentation so misleading? View() is shown as a public method in teh android documentation. Why is it not available to a subclass? Are you seriously telling me that the explanation for this is that I don't understand Java inheritance? ( super(context) passes the compiler but then crashes out at run time. Can anyone tell me the statement(s) I need to put in rather than refer me to a crash course. I've already spent several hours reading the Oracle java course, so unless you have a specific course and chapter in mind the suggestion isn't very helpful. ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
