Custom view is ignored while inflating

Hello,

I have a trouble creating a custom View. When I inflate my xml layout, the com.example.pawel.testapp.CustomKeyboardView tag is ignored. What I do is:

In the SimpleIME.java:

Code:

public View onCreateInputView() {
...
        LinearLayout ll= (LinearLayout)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.input,null);
        List<View> list = ll.getFocusables(View.FOCUS_FORWARD);
        Log.d("App:", "isEmpty:"list.isEmpty());
        //todo
        for(View item : list){
            Log.d("App:", item.toString());
        }
...

In the input.xml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<com.example.pawel.testapp.CustomKeyboardView
    android:id="@+id/input"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:keyPreviewLayout ="@layout/preview"
    >ddd</com.example.pawel.testapp.CustomKeyboardView>
<Button android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >


</Button>
</LinearLayout>

In the values/attrs.xml:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="CustomKeyboardView">
        <attr name="android:text"/>
        <attr name="android:textColor"/>
        <attr name="extraInformation" format="string" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

The console output is like:

Code:

05-19 09:44:02.089    6658-6658/? D/App:﹕ isEmpty:false
05-19 09:44:02.089    6658-6658/? D/App:﹕ android.widget.Button{301650d5 VFED..C. ......I. 0,0-0,0}

When I delete the Button tag the list becomes empty. I think it means that there's something missing here, so that the inflate method can interpret my CustomKeyboardView proprerly. What should I do?
