title: Error inflating inner class view
body: <p>I'm trying to inflate an inner class view and getting the "error inflating class" problem.  I've referenced <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2098318/error-referencing-an-inner-class-view-in-layout-main-xml">this post</a> which was helpful, but I'm still lost as to why I can't get this to work.</p>
  
  <p>Here is a code excerpt, my XML, and logcat.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:  Also I noticed that logcat states a "no such method exception" for "CupcakeMessageView(Context, AttributeSet) when I clearly have it.</p>
  
  <p>THANKS ALL!</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class CupcakeMessage extends Activity {
  
      class CupcakeMessageView extends View {
          private static final int TEXT_SIZE = 12;
          private static final int X_OFFSET = 15;
  
          private Paint mPaint;   
  
          public CupcakeMessageView(Context context) {
              super(context);
          }
  
          public CupcakeMessageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
              super(context, attrs);
              mContext = context;
              ...
          }
  
          more class stuff... 
      }
  
      /** Called when the activity is first created. */
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);        
          setContentView(R.layout.cupcake_message); 
  
          ...      
      }
  }

  <p>Here is the XML</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
