Create a custom View/ViewGroup class in Anko DSL

Question

I want to create a custom View which is just a wrapper of some Android Views. I looked into creating a custom ViewGroup which manages the layout of it\'s child views, but I don\

Answer 1

I was looking for something like this too, but the most optimal solution i found for custom views is something like this:

public inline fun ViewManager.customLayout(theme: Int = 0) = customLayout(theme) {}
public inline fun ViewManager.customLayout(theme: Int = 0, init: CustomLayout.() -> Unit) = ankoView({ CustomLayout(it) }, theme, init)

class CustomLayout(c: Context) : LinearLayout(c) {
    init {
        addView(textView("Some text"))
        addView(textView("Other text"))
    }
}

Answer 2

you can use ViewManager.

fun ViewManager.swipeLayout() = linearLayout {
  textView {
    text = "Some text"
  }
  textView {
    text = "Another text"
  }
}

class MainActivity
  verticalLayout {
    textView {
      text = "Something that comes above the swipe"
    }
    swipeLayout {}
}
