Google Glass Immersion Custom Layout without CardBuilder.Layout.EMBED_INSIDE

Question

I am trying to build an immersion via a custom XML layout.

My understanding is if I use CardBuilder, I would need to embed_inside but I wanted to use the entire screen w

You don't need to use the CardBuilder if you prefer to use your own custom layout: make sure to follow our design guidelines to make sure you meet our specs.

To use your custom layout, simply inflate a View as you would normally and use in your application.

For an Activity, you could something like:

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

If you are using a CardScrollView, simply modify the CardScrollAdapter's getView method to return your View:

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    // You can inflate the View using a LayoutInflater: 
    //     LayoutInflater.from(mContext).inflate(R.layout.my_custom_layout, parent);
    return mCustomView;
}
