ViewGroup in event listener

Question

I am trying to include a new layout on an event. For that I am using LayoutInflater in That event listener. But the problem is, LayoutInflater.inflate() function expect its parameters to be (Int) ResourceId, ViewGroup. I am unable to figure out what to use as ViewGroup in the event listener. this refers to that event listener. parent and item are both views, not ViewGroups. Please help.

Answer 1

If you're attaching it to your activity, use that. If, however, you want a floating view, make your call as follows:

View view = inflater.inflate(resourceId, null, false);

This will create it and allow you to add it as a view to whatever you please.

Answer 2

Have a look at this article about Layout inflation. It gives a great overview about what params to use in what situations.
