Custom View with two TextViews

I want to create a custom view with 2 TextViews, with possibility change text and text appearances from xml. This view should have two state - normal and selected (TextViews style should be different for each state).
I need some example for it.

Custom views are pretty basic and there are examples all over the internet. For something simple like two text views, it's usually easiest to extend LinearLayout.
Here is the LinearLayout with two text views, arranged side by side.
res/double_text.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/left_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/right_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
Next we define a styleable resource block so we can add custom attributes to our custom layout.
res/values/attrs.xml
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="DoubleText">
<attr name="leftText" format="string" />
<attr name="rightText" format="string" />
<attr name="android:ems" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
Next the class file for DoubleText custom view. In here we pull out the custom attributes and set each of the TextViews.
DoubleTextView.java
public class DoubleTextView extends LinearLayout {
LinearLayout layout = null;
TextView leftTextView = null;
TextView rightTextView = null;
Context mContext = null;
public DoubleTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
mContext = context;
}
public DoubleTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
mContext = context;
TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.DoubleText);
String leftText = a.getString(R.styleable.DoubleText_leftText);
String rightText = a.getString(R.styleable.DoubleText_rightText);
leftText = leftText == null ? "" : leftText;
rightText = rightText == null ? "" : rightText;
String service = Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE;
LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(service);
layout = (LinearLayout) li.inflate(R.layout.double_text, this, true);
leftTextView = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.left_text);
rightTextView = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.right_text);
leftTextView.setText(leftText);
rightTextView.setText(rightText);
a.recycle();
}
public DoubleTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
mContext = context;
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public void setLeftText(String text) {
leftTextView.setText(text);
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public void setRightText(String text) {
rightTextView.setText(text);
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public String getLeftText() {
return leftTextView.getText().toString();
}
#SuppressWarnings("unused")
public String getRightText() {
return rightTextView.getText().toString();
}
}
Finally, using the custom class is as simple as declaring it in a layout file.
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:showIn="#layout/activity_main"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/main_text"
android:text="Hello World!"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/custom"/>
<example.com.test.DoubleTextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:leftText="Text Left"
app:rightText="Text Right"
android:layout_below="#+id/main_text"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Easy peasy.

android custom view - section with header for grouping elements, best approach

I need to group views in sections on activities and describe sections by headers, so I created custom view like below:
public class Section extends LinearLayout {
public Section(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public Section(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.Section, 0, 0);
String title = a.getString(R.styleable.Section_textHeader);
a.recycle();
setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.section_header, this, true);
TextView titleTextView = (TextView) getChildAt(0);
titleTextView.setText(title);
}
}
and I use this view like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/eu.szwiec"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dip" >
<eu.szwiec.Section
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
custom:textHeader="Sample Header" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:text="go to second activity" />
</eu.szwiec.Section>
</LinearLayout>
This solution works, but in my opinion there are 2 things to improve:
LinearLayout in LinearLayout isn't optimal
I have to always declare in Section android:layout_width and android:layout_height
Have You ideas for better solution of this problem? or above approach is the best?

1) You don't need outer LinearLayout. Just declare padding on your Section in xml and remember to put xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" there too.
2) You need to declare width and height. I believe you could use styles, but I don't think it is appropriate for layout_xxx attributes.

Custom View which has subviews with same id

I've implemented a custom view with hosts two subviews which are identified by an id in the xml. When using two of this custom view in the same layout I run into the problem that it is random which custom view is chosen.
How can I write a custom view with different view ids that can be multiply used in the same layout?
Here is the xml of the custom view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/clearable_edit"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textCapWords"
android:paddingRight="35dip" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/clearable_button_clear"
android:layout_width="30dip"
android:layout_height="30dip"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:background="#drawable/clear_button" />
</RelativeLayout>
The id (android:id="#+id/clearable_edit") of the EditText is the problem here.
Usage of custom view:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<com.custom.package.ClearableEditText
android:id="#+id/arr_location"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
</com.custom.package.ClearableEditText>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<com.custom.package.ClearableEditText
android:id="#+id/dep_location"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
</com.custom.package.ClearableEditText>
</LinearLayout>
In this example the views of type "ClearableEditText" share the same id of their EditText subview.
Here is the code for ClearableEditText:
public class ClearableEditText extends RelativeLayout {
private LayoutInflater inflater = null;
private EditText edit_text;
private Button btn_clear;
public ClearableEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle){
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
initViews();
}
public ClearableEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
super(context, attrs);
initViews();
}
public ClearableEditText(Context context){
super(context);
initViews();
}
private void initViews(){
inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.clearable_edittext, this, true);
edit_text = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.clearable_edit);
btn_clear = (Button) findViewById(R.id.clearable_button_clear);
btn_clear.setVisibility(RelativeLayout.INVISIBLE);
}
}

First fetch parent View like this:
View v1 = findViewById(R.id.arr_location);
and then
EditText ed1 = (EditText)v1.findViewById(R.id.clearable_edit);
Similarly
View v2 = findViewById(R.id.dep_location);
EditText ed2 = (EditText)v2.findViewById(R.id.clearable_edit);
This way you can add as many ClearableEditText as you want having same id for EditText and Button. Just make sure that every ClearableEditText has different id e.g. in this case R.id.arr_location and R.id.dep_location.

I've found a solution.
I've added a method to ClearableEditText where you can set the id of the underlying EditText from outside the object and set it with a new id.
Here is a code sample:
//inside ClearableEditText
public void setEditId(int id){
edit_text.setId(id);
}
//somewhere else
departureLocation = (ClearableEditText)view.findViewById(R.id.dep_location);
departureLocation.setEditId(R.id.clearable1);
arrivalLocation = (ClearableEditText)view.findViewById(R.id.arr_location);
arrivalLocation.setEditId(R.id.clearable2);
The Ids are created with a "ids.xml" in the values folder, which causes eclipse/ADT to create a placeholder id for the entered items
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- This file is used to create unique ids for custom views, which will be used more
than once in the same layout file. Using unique ids prevents the custom view from getting
the wrong state. -->
<item name="clearable1" type="id"></item>
<item name="clearable2" type="id"></item>
</resources>

Custom xml attributes without attrs.xml file

Recently I've faced with adding custom xml parameters to my views in xml layout. I know that I should use attrs.xml file for this purpose, but... I have found, that I can use custom parameters without any attrs.xml file at all. Can somebody explain this ? Is this a bug or is this a valid case ?
here is my custom view:
public class TestView extends View {
public TestView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public TestView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
final String scheme = "http://red.com/ui/scheme";
if (attrs != null) {
Log.d("TestView", "custom param value: " + attrs.getAttributeValue(scheme, "cutom"));
}
}
}
and here is the main layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:red="http://red.com/ui/scheme"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello" />
<com.red.ui.TestView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffAABBCC"
red:cutom="customvalue"
/>
</LinearLayout>
It is a simple scratch project, created by Android wizard.

The custom attribute that you added is not available in R.java
I think the main motto of making custom attributes is to use it at multiple places.
But through this code we cann't accomplish the same scenario.
Here is the sample code - attrs.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="MyLayout">
<attr name="text" format="string" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
I am changing main.xml to add the the text attribute
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:red="http://red.com/ui/scheme"
xmlns:myapp="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.psl"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello"
myapp:text="Text String" />
<com.psl.TestView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffAABBCC"
myapp:text="My Special Text String"
red:cutom="customvalue" />
</LinearLayout>
TestView.java -
public class TestView extends View {
public TestView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public TestView(final Context context, final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
final String scheme = "http://red.com/ui/scheme";
if (attrs != null) {
Log.d("TestView", "custom param value: " + attrs.getAttributeValue(scheme, "cutom"));
}
TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
R.styleable.MyLayout);
CharSequence s = a.getString(R.styleable.MyLayout_text);
Log.d("MyTestView", "attrs param value: " + s.toString());
}
}
If you noticed after making the attr in attrs.xml. It is available everywhere.
But the attr defined in xml itself through custom namespace is available only through the namespace that you have to define everywhere.
May be its a bug because the attribute is getting added to some custom namespace and not in the application itself.

This is not a "bug" of course. This is how you use a custom view in your xml.

Create a custom View by inflating a layout?

I am trying to create a custom View that would replace a certain layout that I use at multiple places, but I am struggling to do so.
Basically, I want to replace this:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/dolphinLine"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/background_box_light_blue"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_margin="10dip">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/dolphinTitle"
android:layout_width="200dip"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"
android:text="#string/my_title"
android:textSize="30dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#2E4C71"
android:gravity="center"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/dolphinMinusButton"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/dolphinTitle"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dip"
android:text="#string/minus_button"
android:textSize="70dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="1dip"
android:background="#drawable/button_blue_square_selector"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:onClick="onClick"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/dolphinValue"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dip"
android:background="#android:drawable/editbox_background"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/dolphinMinusButton"
android:text="0"
android:textColor="#2E4C71"
android:textSize="50dip"
android:gravity="center"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:inputType="none"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/dolphinPlusButton"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/dolphinValue"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dip"
android:text="#string/plus_button"
android:textSize="70dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="1dip"
android:background="#drawable/button_blue_square_selector"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:onClick="onClick"/>
</RelativeLayout>
By this:
<view class="com.example.MyQuantityBox"
android:id="#+id/dolphinBox"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:myCustomAttribute="#string/my_title"/>
So, I do not want a custom layout, I want a custom View (it should not be possible for this view to have child).
The only thing that could change from one instance of a MyQuantityBox to another is the title. I would very much like to be able to specify this in the XML (as I do on the last XML line)
How can I do this? Should I put the RelativeLayout in a XML file in /res/layout and inflate it in my MyBoxQuantity class? If yes how do I do so?
Thanks!

A bit old, but I thought sharing how I'd do it, based on chubbsondubs' answer:
I use FrameLayout (see Documentation), since it is used to contain a single view, and inflate into it the view from the xml.
Code following:
public class MyView extends FrameLayout {
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
initView();
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
initView();
}
public MyView(Context context) {
super(context);
initView();
}
private void initView() {
inflate(getContext(), R.layout.my_view_layout, this);
}
}

Here is a simple demo to create customview (compoundview) by inflating from xml
attrs.xml
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="CustomView">
<attr format="string" name="text"/>
<attr format="reference" name="image"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
CustomView.kt
class CustomView #JvmOverloads constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0) :
ConstraintLayout(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {
init {
init(attrs)
}
private fun init(attrs: AttributeSet?) {
View.inflate(context, R.layout.custom_layout, this)
val image_thumb = findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.image_thumb)
val text_title = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_title)
val ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CustomView)
try {
val text = ta.getString(R.styleable.CustomView_text)
val drawableId = ta.getResourceId(R.styleable.CustomView_image, 0)
if (drawableId != 0) {
val drawable = AppCompatResources.getDrawable(context, drawableId)
image_thumb.setImageDrawable(drawable)
}
text_title.text = text
} finally {
ta.recycle()
}
}
}
custom_layout.xml
We should use merge here instead of ConstraintLayout because
If we use ConstraintLayout here, layout hierarchy will be ConstraintLayout->ConstraintLayout -> ImageView + TextView => we have 1 redundant ConstraintLayout => not very good for performance
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:parentTag="android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image_thumb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription"
tools:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/image_thumb"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/image_thumb"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/image_thumb"
tools:text="Text" />
</merge>
Using
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<your_package.CustomView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#f00"
app:image="#drawable/ic_android"
app:text="Android" />
<your_package.CustomView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#0f0"
app:image="#drawable/ic_adb"
app:text="ADB" />
</LinearLayout>

Yes you can do this. RelativeLayout, LinearLayout, etc are Views so a custom layout is a custom view. Just something to consider because if you wanted to create a custom layout you could.
What you want to do is create a Compound Control. You'll create a subclass of RelativeLayout, add all our your components in code (TextView, etc), and in your constructor you can read the attributes passed in from the XML. You can then pass that attribute to your title TextView.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html

Use the LayoutInflater as I shown below.
public View myView() {
View v; // Creating an instance for View Object
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.myview, null);
TextView text1 = v.findViewById(R.id.dolphinTitle);
Button btn1 = v.findViewById(R.id.dolphinMinusButton);
TextView text2 = v.findViewById(R.id.dolphinValue);
Button btn2 = v.findViewById(R.id.dolphinPlusButton);
return v;
}

In practice, I have found that you need to be a bit careful, especially if you are using a bit of xml repeatedly. Suppose, for example, that you have a table that you wish to create a table row for each entry in a list. You've set up some xml:
In my_table_row.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:id="#+id/myTableRow">
<ImageButton android:src="#android:drawable/ic_menu_delete" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/rowButton"/>
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" android:text="TextView" android:id="#+id/rowText"></TextView>
</TableRow>
Then you want to create it once per row with some code. It assume that you have defined a parent TableLayout myTable to attach the Rows to.
for (int i=0; i<numRows; i++) {
/*
* 1. Make the row and attach it to myTable. For some reason this doesn't seem
* to return the TableRow as you might expect from the xml, so you need to
* receive the View it returns and then find the TableRow and other items, as
* per step 2.
*/
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getBaseContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_table_row, myTable, true);
// 2. Get all the things that we need to refer to to alter in any way.
TableRow tr = (TableRow) v.findViewById(R.id.profileTableRow);
ImageButton rowButton = (ImageButton) v.findViewById(R.id.rowButton);
TextView rowText = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.rowText);
// 3. Configure them out as you need to
rowText.setText("Text for this row");
rowButton.setId(i); // So that when it is clicked we know which one has been clicked!
rowButton.setOnClickListener(this); // See note below ...
/*
* To ensure that when finding views by id on the next time round this
* loop (or later) gie lots of spurious, unique, ids.
*/
rowText.setId(1000+i);
tr.setId(3000+i);
}
For a clear simple example on handling rowButton.setOnClickListener(this), see Onclicklistener for a programmatically created button.

There are multiple answers which point the same way in different approaches, I believe the below is the simplest approach without using any third-party libraries, even you can use it using Java.
In Kotlin;
Create values/attr.xml
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="DetailsView">
<attr format="string" name="text"/>
<attr format="string" name="value"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
Create layout/details_view.xml file for your view
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_label"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
tools:text="Label" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_value"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
tools:text="Value" />
</LinearLayout>
</merge>
Create the custom view widget DetailsView.kt
import android.content.Context
import android.content.res.TypedArray
import android.util.AttributeSet
import android.view.View
import android.widget.LinearLayout
import android.widget.TextView
import com.payable.taponphone.R
class DetailsView #JvmOverloads constructor(
context: Context,
attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) : LinearLayout(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {
private val attributes: TypedArray = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.DetailsView)
private val view: View = View.inflate(context, R.layout.details_view, this)
init {
view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_label).text = attributes.getString(R.styleable.DetailsView_text)
view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.text_value).text = attributes.getString(R.styleable.DetailsView_value)
}
}
That's it now you can call the widget anywhere in your app as below
<com.yourapp.widget.DetailsView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:text="Welcome"
app:value="Feb" />

A simple Custom View using Kotlin
Replace FrameLayout with whatever view you Like to extend
/**
* Simple Custom view
*/
class CustomView#JvmOverloads
constructor(context: Context,
attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
defStyleAttr: Int = 0)
: FrameLayout(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {
init {
// Init View
val rootView = (getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) as LayoutInflater)
.inflate(R.layout.custom_layout, this, true)
val titleView= rootView.findViewById(id.txtTitle)
// Load Values from XML
val attrsArray = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CutsomView, defStyleAttr, 0)
val titleString = attrsArray.getString(R.styleable.cutomAttrsText)
attrsArray.recycle()
}
}
