If the custom view you created is through code, for example:
package gr.example.app.ui.layouts
class MyView extends View {
....
}
then you have to use the full package name in this case
<gr.example.app.ui.layouts.MyView>
but if you created it as an xml (let's say its name is my_view.xml) inside the resources/layouts folder like so:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="verical">
.....
</LinearLayout>
then you have to use include inside your main_activity.xml like so:
<include
android:id="@+id/my_custom_view" --this is optional, just another way to find the root view of layouts/my_view
layout="@layouts/MyView"/>
do I use that in the main_activity.xml? When ever I type in <com. my custom view doesn't show up. Things like <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton show up.
wait I think we may have had a misunderstanding, I'll update my answer
