Add view class defined in external lbrary project

Question

I have created a new GLView component to be aded to different projects. After building the library correctly I am trying to add it to a xml layout in my test app, but it doesn't seem to work as it throws a classnotfound exception.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:lib="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/relativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:background="@android:color/darker_gray">

<com.exapmple.library.CustomView
android:id="@+id/glsurfaceview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

</RelativeLayout>

And the class inside the external project is:

public class CustomView extends GLSurfaceView

May be this answer helps? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9833607/android-eclipse-noclassdeffounderror-for-external-jar-files — Dmitriy Lozenko, Sep 19 '13 at 12:10
The library is there and can be called from anywhere in the code. The layout xml files are the problem. — MLProgrammer-CiM, Sep 19 '13 at 12:46

How do you attach your library to the project?

As jar lib or as Library project?

I suppose the problem is in wrong configuration. May be jar file placed in "lib" folder instead of "libs".

Library project. It can be called from anywhere in the code so it has been correctly imported. The XML files need the lib's namespace definition. – MLProgrammer-CiM Sep 19 '13 at 13:35
