Question

Is there any way to get the ViewGroup from a view? I'm trying to create a custom array adapter and it needs the viewgroup

Was it helpful?

Solution

Depending on which ViewGroup you are after, you can get the parent of your view and cast it to a ViewGroup:

(ViewGroup)view.getParent() // this can be done to get any level in your view hierarchy

or you can cast the view itself as a ViewGroup:

(ViewGroup)view

Basically, find the view you want in your view hierarchy and cast it to ViewGroup
