How do you change an image programatically in a viewpager?

Question

I'm using a viewpager that will get image sources from a webservice, and dynamically add pages to the viewpager.

But for now, i'm just testing how to change the image programatically.

This is the simple layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scaleType="centerInside"
        android:src="@drawable/button_increase" />

</LinearLayout>

Here's the instantiateItem from the ViewPager class:

public Object instantiateItem(View collection, int position) {

            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) collection.getContext()
                    .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.test_layout, null);

           ImageView imageView1= ((ImageView)(View)findViewById(R.id.imageView1));
           imageView1.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.button_increase));

            ((ViewPager) collection).addView(view);

            return view;
        }

I get an exception on setImageDrawable and here's the stacktrace:

Anyone know what i could try? I can see that it is some kind of measure problem, but i don't have any idea what to do regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Instead of

 ImageView imageView1= ((ImageView)(View)findViewById(R.id.imageView1));

use

 ImageView imageView1= ((ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.imageView1));

Answer 2

Try it this way instead:

imageView1.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_increase);

Answer 3

try this

 View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.test_layout, null);

       ImageView imageView1= (ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
       imageView1.setImageResource(R.drawable.button_increase);
