Get Android View Instance

Question

This is a dumb question and I know the answer is sitting in front of me, I'm just having trouble searching for it in the right way.

I've got a custom view that has been set as the content view and inflated from xml. How can I access the instance to call methods on it from the activity class? I remember seeing something akin to getResourceById() a while back, but now I can't seem to find it and I'm not even sure if that's the best way to do it.

Sorry for the dumb question.

Answer 1

If you have used an inflater, you will be given an instance of a View class. You then use your instance like so

LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
row = li.inflate(R.layout.small_listview_row, null);

TextView tvItemText = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.tvItemText);
