Title Body

I am creating a appwidget that consists of a single custom view called Foo. xml/widget.xml: <appwidget-provider xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:minWidth="294dp" android:minHeight="72dp" android:updatePeriodMillis="0" android:initialLayout="@layout/widget_layout"> </appwidget-provider> layout/widget_layout <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <package.name.Foo android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" /> </LinearLayout> Foo: public class Foo extends View {..} I tested the Foo view in a normal android app, and it works perfectly. However, when I try to run the widget I get "error while loading widget" . When I remove the Foo view from the widget, everything is fine. So it has something to do with the Foo view. Unfortunately I can't get any more specific errors in DDMS, cause I don't know of a way to debug widgets. I would like to know if it is indeed possible to use your own custom views in a app-widget? Am I doing something wrong here?
