Note: This is also the #1 reason why inflating a view from XML without including a parent (i.e., passing null as the root in LayoutInflater.inflate()) is a horrible idea — without any parent, there’s no one to parse and create a proper LayoutParams object, effectively meaning all of those attributes are thrown away — probably not what you want.
