Define an interface or abstract class as follows that includes the version and action. public interface MyInterface { public static final String ACTION = "com.android.systemui.action.PLUGIN_MYINTERFACE"; public static final int VERSION = 1; void myImportantInterface(); } Then put in a PluginInflateContainer to use and specify the interface or class that will be implemented as viewType. The layout specified will be used by default and whenever a plugin is not present.
