Instantiates a layout XML file into its corresponding android.view.View
objects.

Remarks
Instantiates a layout XML file into its corresponding android.view.View objects. It is never used directly. Instead, use android.app.Activity#getLayoutInflater() or Context#getSystemService to retrieve a standard LayoutInflater instance that is already hooked up to the current context and correctly configured for the device you are running on.
To create a new LayoutInflater with an additional Factory for your own views, you can use #cloneInContext to clone an existing ViewFactory, and then call #setFactory on it to include your Factory.
For performance reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime; it only works with an XmlPullParser returned from a compiled resource (R.<em>something</em> file.)
<strong>Note:</strong> This class is <strong>not</strong> thread-safe and a given instance should only be accessed by a single thread.
