How to use isInEditMode() to see layout with custom View in the editor

isInEditMode()should be used inside the Custom View constructor.
Try the following code:

     public class GraphView extends View implements Grapher
        {

         public GraphView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
                super(context, attrs);
                if(!isInEditMode())
                 init(context);
            }

            public GraphView(Context context) {
                super(context);
               if(!isInEditMode()){
                touchHandler = new TouchHandler(this);
                init(context);
              }
            }

What is isInEditMode() and if(isInEditMode()) return;

As you have no answers for #2 and #3, there it is:

If you have a single instruction in your if, you can omit the curly braces. Plus java doesn't work by indentation but with braces and semi-colons. So you can put the single instruction on the same line as the if, it won't make any differences, as long as there is the semi-colon.

For the return;, this method returns void, so you can't put any object to return. This however allows you to exit the method, i.e. when you have a bad/unexpected value, as return immediately ends the method the moment it is called. return; means about the same as return void; (however I'm don't know if this would compile).

View.isInEditMode() doesn't skip code

I've replaced the problematic code:

 ViewGroup v = (ViewGroup)MyBanner.this;
 v.addView(rl);

to the following one:

 this.addView(rl);

Now eclipse shows my view without errors.
