The simplest way I found to create a custom view, so I don't have to handle annoying things like to override the onLayout() method, is to make it inherit from a LinearLayout. I also have a LinearLayout at the root of the associated XML file that I inflate, so there is 2 of them at the root.

How can I optimise this, by removing one of this extra LinearLayout, but keep it simple to create custom views ?

**MyToolbar.kt:**

```
class MyToolbar @JvmOverloads constructor(
    context: Context,
    attrs: AttributeSet? = null,
    defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) :
    LinearLayoutCompat(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {

    private val binding = MyToolbarBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(context), this, true)

    init {
         // [...] Initialization of my view ...
    }
}

```

**my\_toolbar.xml:**

```xml
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:orientation="horizontal">

    <!-- Actual content of my view -->

</LinearLayout>

```
