String

IAttributeSet

The XML attributes supplied for this instance.

Returns

View

View The newly instantiated view, or null.

Exceptions

ClassNotFoundException

InflateException

Remarks

Low-level function for instantiating a view by name. This attempts to instantiate a view class of the given <var>name</var> found in this LayoutInflater's ClassLoader. To use an explicit Context in the View constructor, use #createView(Context, String, String, AttributeSet) instead.

There are two things that can happen in an error case: either the exception describing the error will be thrown, or a null will be returned. You must deal with both possibilities -- the former will happen the first time createView() is called for a class of a particular name, the latter every time there-after for that class name.
