how to get id in different layout

Question

i have id "@+id/call" in single_item.xml when i use findVewById it (the layout setcontextview(R.layout.main)) .the app crash .how to fix the error

Answer 1

You are trying to find a View (R.id.call) that is declared in R.layout.single_item in the layour R.layout.main, so I guess it is throwing a Null Pointer Exception.

You should either declare your "@+id/call" element in your main.xml file, or set the context view to R.layout.single_item

Answer 2

If you want to access a view in another layout (not the active layout), then you can inflate the layout you want to use and access it that way.

Example:

View inflatedView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.other_layout, null);
TextView text = (TextView) inflatedView.findViewById(R.id.text_view);
text.setText("Hello!");

More information about inflating layouts can be found here.

Answer 3

The simple way to fetch id from a view is:

String id = getResources().getResourceEntryName(view.getId());

Answer 4

View parent = (View)view.getParent();
??? = (???)parent.findViewById(R.id.call);

try this. hope it help
