Feature Request: Gracefully handle xml rendering #404

Just a simple suggestion to add functionality so TileViews can be added in xml without having an xml compilation error in Android Studio.

I think it's as easy as adding

if (isInEditMode())
    return;

just after the super call in the constructors of TileView and ZoomPanLayout. But I have never made my own custom view in Android so I don't know if that is all that is required. Perhaps some sort of basic rendering placeholder has to be handled as well?

is this specific to that layout preview in AS?

Derpalus commented 7 years ago

I don't quite understand what you mean. All I know is I get a render exception when I add a TileView to my view xml and that Android Studio suggests using View.isInEditMode() for custom views to avoid the problem.
