Pass the same View to a function that you are using in the setContentView()












1















I have the following function: createEl(View view, ....)



I have to go to the same View function I'm using in the:



setContentView(R.layout.activity_main).



I tried with:



View view = (View) getLayoutInflater().Inflate (R.layout.activity_main, null);


But it does not work.
How can I do?

Your code isn't working because you are using different instances of the layout. Inflate the view and use that in setContentView().



Try this



View view =  getLayoutInflater().inflate (R.layout.activity_main, null);
setContentView(view);


Now you can use view the way you want. It would be the same instance which is loaded in the activity.

  • There are other methods to get the loaded view but this should suit you best. see this stackoverflow.com/questions/5273436/…
