How to add my custom view to XML layout?

I wrote the following view:

public class EllipseView extends View {

private final Paint paint = new Paint();


public EllipseView(Context context) {
    super(context);

    paint.setColor(Color.RED);

}


@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    canvas.drawOval(new RectF(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight()), paint);
}
}

How to add it to layout in XML? The following does not work (debugger does not connect):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">

<View class="com.incubation.EllipseView"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="200dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="200dp"
    />

</RelativeLayout>

ADDON

There were also a problem with communicating with Eclipse and Device, which required restart to fix
