Suggestion: avoid naming your classes names very close to already existing classes (eg. View, Activity);

Since you are extending View (which by default does not draw anything specific) you aren't able to see anything in your activity.

Start by extending TextView object to get a feel.

public class MyTextView extends TextView {
    public MyTextView(Context c){
    super(c);
}

// ----

public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    MyTextView myTextView;

     @Override 
     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance){
     super.onCreate(savedInstance);
     setContentView(myTextView = new MyTextView(this);

     myTextView.setText("It works!");
}

Hope this helps!
