On Android, I would like to create a button containing some other views. For example, something like this:
+---------------------------+
| Hello world! +-------+ |
| | image | |
| Some more info +-------+ |
+---------------------------+
But I would like it to be more flexible than this specific example. Ideally, the button will simply contain a ViewGroup so that I can implement its layout in a separate XML file. However, since Button extends View, but not ViewGroup, this is not possible.
Is there a way to achieve this using standard Android components, or do I need to resort to writing a custom button class?
As per the request, in some XML example that does the trick:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:focusable="true"
android:clickable="true"
android:background="@android:drawable/btn_default">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@android:color/primary_text_light"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/additional_line_1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@android:color/primary_text_light"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/additional_line_2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@android:color/primary_text_light"/>
</LinearLayout>
