Title Body

I've been learning about merge and include lately, and I have a question I can't seem to figure out the answer too. Say I have a layout that defines a header component that I want to add to multiple layouts. However, I want to change the title, or icon of each header per each include usage. For example say I have the following layout: <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" style="@style/menu_header"> <Button android:id="@+id/backButton" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_centerVertical="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" style="@style/button" android:text="@string/back"/> <TextView style="@style/headerTitle" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:text="${title}" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"/> </RelativeLayout> Then I can include that in other layouts using: <LinearLayout ...> <include android:id="@+id/searchHeader" layout="@layout/shared_header" title="Search"/> ... </LinearLayout> I know I can modify any layout_* attribute of the root element, but can I define other attributes that get substituted into the layout, like say "title" in this example, without having to create my own subclass of View, add declare-styleable definitions in valaues/resources, etc? Having something like this would make creating reusable views so much simpler, but I can't seem to find any evidence that says if merge + include can do it.
