Inflating things this way seems to work for the preview:

public FlightOutboundInbound(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    init();
}

private void init() {
    setWeightSum(3);
    setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.dark_blue_border_rect);
    setOrientation(HORIZONTAL);

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    inflater.inflate(R.layout.widget_flight_outbound_inbound, this, true);
    ButterKnife.bind(this);
}

But inflating things using the static view does not seem to work.
