Android custom attribute for TextView [duplicate]

Answer 1

As I know you have 2 options:

• Create your own view that extends TextView and has constructor that takes AttributeSet. Then you can get custom property in this constructor. Check this tutorial: Creating a View Class.
• Implement own LayoutInfalter.Factory where you handle custom attributes.

Better check this question: How to read custom attributes in Android it's almost the same.

Answer 2

Exactly, you can extend your textview like that

 public class CustomTV extends TextView {

 public final String YOURATTRS;

 public CustomTV(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
            TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CustomTV);
    YOURATTRS = ta.getString(R.styleable.CustomTV_binding);
    ta.recycle();

 // use your attrs or not
 }

and the attrs.xml :

<declare-styleable name="CustomTV">
     <attr name="binding" format="string"/>
</declare-styleable>
