Dynamically add a xml defined layout at run-time outside of onCreate()
<p>I have a custom ViewGroup (blue background) that when touched sometime during the app's life cycle, I want to add an arbitrary xml defined view layout (whitebox to be in foreground) to that custom view.</p>

<p>Is there any way to do this outside of the activity's onCreate?</p>

<p>whitebox.xml</p>

<blockquote>
<pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:background="#FFFFFF"
    android:orientation="vertical" &gt;
&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>TestDynamicLayoutActivity.java</p>

<pre><code>package net.lapasa.testdynamiclayout;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class TestDynamicLayoutActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(new MyCustomViewGroup(this));
    }
}
</code></pre>

<p>MyCustomViewGroup.java</p>

<pre><code>package net.lapasa.testdynamiclayout;

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

public class MyCustomViewGroup extends ViewGroup
{

    private Context context;

    public MyCustomViewGroup(Context context)
{
    super(context);
    this.context = context;
}

@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)
{
    this.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);

}

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent (MotionEvent event)
{
    if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
    {
        View whiteBoxView= LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.whitebox, this);
        ViewGroup targetParent = (ViewGroup) whiteBoxView.getParent();
        targetParent.removeView(whiteBoxView);
        this.addView(whiteBoxView);
    }
    return true;
}
}
</code></pre>

<p>The block of code in the ACTION_DOWN doesn't do anything except present a black screen =( What is going on?</p>
