Get layout from view

Question

I am inflating interface from XML using

View add_phone = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.phone_info, null);

Now how can i access RelativeLayout from add_phone view? is there any methos like getChildCount() ?

Answer 1

You can find child views of a view through

View.findViewById(int id)

In your case, that translates to

RelativeLayout child = (RelativeLayout)add_phone.findViewById(R.layout.phone_info) 

As long as you have unique id's for the child elements in add_phone, this should return the correct element.

Answer 2

yes , getChildCount(), works on a ViewGroup like LinearLayout, RelativeLayout etc..

ViewGroup add_phone = (ViewGroup) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.phone_info, null);
int childCount = add_phone.getChildCount();

you must make sure the inflated layout has viewGroup as parent view, otherwise you will get class cast exception. viewGroup can be anything like LinearLayout, RelativeLayout etc..
