title: Activity.setContentView, View.setContentView?
body: <p>I noticed that the Activity class has a setContentView method where an xml resource file can be loaded. I wanted to do the same thing with a class that inherits ultimately from View. This seemed to be a dead end because the setContentView method does not exist for the View class. </p>
  
  <p>This leads to a couple of questions:</p>
  
  <p>1) Is it possible for View's to load layouts created in the Visual Layout Editor?</p>
  
  <p>2) If not, why? It seems like not allowing users to load an xml layout directly into a View is a limitation. I expect that there is a reason why the setContentView method (or a method similar) is not provided in the API. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
