A simple question confused me for long: as I know if I want to use

lparams()

method from Anko, it looks like I must use it inside

linearLayout

or `verticalLayout`(or inside any other ViewGroup), is that right? What if I want to make a custom view, and I start the code like this:

class CustomViewGroup(): LinearLayout() {
init {
        linearLayout {
           lparams {
        ( and I do some custom things here)
             }
        }
    }
}

These code works and I did make the view I want, but it looks like I wrap my custom view with double

LinearLayout

, one is the constructor method and the second one is when trying to inflate my layout with Anko. But if I don't use the second one, I can't use the

lparams

method...
