You need to have 2 more constructors. To know why

Do I need all three constructors for an Android custom view?

public class CustomView extends RelativeLayout{

    LayoutInflater mInflater;
    public CustomView(Context context) {
        super(context);
         mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
         init(); 

    }
    public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)
    {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    init(); 
    }
    public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
    init(); 
    }
   public void init()
   {
       View v = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_view, this, true);
       TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
   tv.setText(" Custom RelativeLayout");
   }
}

I am posting an example. My packagename is different

custom_view.xml

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        }
}

As pskink suggested there in a RelativeLayout in activity_main.xml with a child CustomView. Then CustomView extends RealtiveLayout and then again you inflate a customview with RelativeLayout and a child TextView. No need for all these. Just a CustomView. Have a TextView created programatically and then add textview to RelativeLayout

Edit:

activity_main.xml

CustomView

public class CustomView extends RelativeLayout{

    TextView tv;
    public CustomView(Context context) {
        super(context);
         tv = new TextView(context);
         init(); 

    }
    public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)
    {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    tv = new TextView(context);
    init(); 
    }
    public CustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    tv = new TextView(context);
    init(); 
    }
   public void init()
   {
       this.addView(tv);
       tv.setText(" Custom RelativeLayout");
   }
}
