Reading object from file throws IllegalAccessException

I know that I shouldn't use this approach but for testing purposes I am. I created a class that extends LinearLayout and implements Serializable to be able to save the whole layout to a file.

After adding views to this layout I'm writting it successfully to a file. But when reading back the object I get an error IllegalAcessException; Is there any way to solve this issue?

CustomLayout.class

public class CustomLayout extends LinearLayout implements Serializable{

public static final long serialVersionUID = 1000;

public LinearLayout_Serializable(Context context) {
    super(context);
}

public LinearLayout_Serializable(Context context, AttributeSet attributeset){
    super(context,attributeset);
}

}

Any help please? and thanks in advance

Seems like he ObjectStreamClass is looking for an empty constructor to instantiate your custom class. 

 // Has to have an empty constructor
        if (constructor == null) {
            String className = constructorClass != null ? constructorClass.getName() : null;
            throw new InvalidClassException(className, "IllegalAccessException");
        }

LinearLayout does not have an empty constructor. Try just adding an empty constructor

public LinearLayout_Serializable() {
    this(//getContextSomehow());
}
