I use a live-template in Kotlin for this...

class $NAME$ @JvmOverloads constructor(
        context: Context,
        attrs: android.util.AttributeSet? = null,
        defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) : $SUPER$(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {


    init {
        $END$
    }
}

This is dangerous and can break even the most basic views (like TextView).

TextView’s 2 arg constructor passes in a non-zero defStyleAttr to its own 3-arg constructor.

Your 2 arg constructor should always call the super 2 arg constructor.

You're right. That's a good point. I think I'll modify my template to only call the 2-arg constructor. Are there situations where you need a 3-arg constructor? If someone actually needs it, they can always add it as a secondary constructor. Or I can add that as part of my template

[skennedy]

well, if you want to pass in a defStyleAttr you need the 3 arg
