Appcompat Custom Widgets

Appcompat Custom Widgets

In order to support features such as tinting, the appcompat library will automatically load special appcompat replacements for the builtin widgets. However, this does not work for your own custom views.

Instead of extending the android.widget classes directly, you should instead extend one of the delegate classes in androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView.
