Is it possible to find a view by its name rather than its id.
findViewById(R.id.someView); but I would like to do something like this:
findViewByName("someView");

FindViewById<T>(Int32)Finds a view that was identified by the id attribute from the XML layout resource.
Focusable means that it can gain the focus from an input device like a keyboard. Input devices like keyboards cannot decide which view to send its input events to based on the inputs itself, so they send them to the view that has focus.
findViewById returns an instance of View , which is then cast to the target class. All good so far. To setup the view, findViewById constructs an AttributeSet from the parameters in the associated XML declaration which it passes to the constructor of View . We then cast the View instance to Button .
SetContentView is used to fill the window with the UI provided from layout file incase of setContentView(R. layout. somae_file). Here layoutfile is inflated to view and added to the Activity context(Window).
you have to find views by identifier when dealing with xml, but you can look up the identifier by using getIdentifier(String name, ...) which is useful if you have your layouts numbered for example. Just be aware that such a lookup is relatively expensive.
to complete the answer
int id = getResources().getIdentifier(name, "id", context.getPackageName()); View view = findViewById(id); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
