Hello, I trying to add custom attribute OnClickListener, the problem is that typeof always return BaseView type instead of MyView.

typeof returns a static type not a dynamic type.
If there is a branch of the function that does not return myview the closed base-type is used.

How to best solve this problem? I do not want using template mixin for this. It works for me using realtime.

use a "template this" parameter:

void onCreate(this T)()
{
    writeln(getSymbolsByUDA!(T, OnClickListener).stringof);
}

if possible. The problem is not solved if onCreate is not called on the most derived.

It works if I explicitly specify the type:

> v2.onCreate();  // Works well, using MyView type
> void test(View v) {
>     v.onCreate();  // using View type :(

But this working well:

It suits me, thanks a lot!

I think the nicest way to do it is to use the template this parameter in the constructors, since that's the one function that you can guarantee is always called on the most derived type.

Of course, you can still forget to call it in a child class..

There is also typeid() and .classinfo, which may be helpful:

        writeln(this.classinfo.name);
