Extending a EditText in Android. What am I doing wrong?

Question

So I\'m trying to get a grasp of using custom controls in Android. But my app crashes on trying to create the activity. Here\'s the code:

package com.myApp;

You have to add this constructor for creating any custom View.

public MyEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
.....
}

instead of

public MyEditText(Context context) {
        super(context);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
