Android - Different Ids for the same include Layout

Question

I have a layout which I have to Include several times. It consists of a TextView and an ImageView:

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:background="@drawable/back2"
    android:id="@+id/id_1"/>

<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/id_2"
    android:textSize="15dp"
    android:typeface="sans"
    android:textColor="#ffffff" />

Now I want to set the text programmatically, but the problem that I'm facing is, that the TextView now always has the same Id, because I'm including the same Layout several times. Is there a way to programmatically include a Layout and always change the Id for each included layout?

Answer 1

What I'd do is, when you need to access the views on a particular instance of the included layout:

ViewGroup instance = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.included1); // Replace ViewGroup with whatever your particlar type is
ImageView iView = (ImageView) instance.findViewById(R.id.id_1);
TextView tView = (TextView) instance.findViewById(R.id.id_2);

Answer 2

You can create your TextView dynamically and then use TextView.setId(int id) to set the id of that View so that you can call it later with the new id.
