I want to change the content of a "RelativeLayout", the problem is that the content of that layout is in another xml.
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fullscreen);
//from actual xml
RelativeLayout rL1= (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.principalLayout);
//from another xml
RelativeLayout rL2= (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.cocinaL);
rL1.removeAllViews();
rL1.addView(rL2); //this fail because rL2 is null
Thank
you can't add another layout View without LayoutInflater
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fullscreen);
//your actule view
RelativeLayout rL1= (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.principalLayout);
LayoutInflater inflater=(LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
// your second xml
View view2 = inflater.inflate(R.layout.myview12, null);
// add second View
rL1.addView(view2 );
//from actual xml
RelativeLayout rL1= (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.principalLayout);
//from another xml
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.child, null);
RelativeLayout rL2 = (RelativeLayout) child.findViewById(R.id.cocinaL);
rL1.removeAllViews();
rL1.addView(rL2);
I want to load layout dafined in xml to newly created LinearLayout object. Is that possible?
LinearLayout new_layout = new LinearLayout(context);
new_layout.load(R.layout.my_layout); // is something like this possible?
What you're trying to achieve is usually done this way
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
LinearLayout newLayout = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_layout, null);
Content view is a LinearLayout. We'll call it llOne and we'll say it's in the file llOne.xml.
The view I'm trying to add is also a LinearLayout but they're in separate files. We'll call it llTwo and we'll say it's in the file llTwo.xml.
setContentView(R.layout.llOne);
LinearLayout llOne = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llOne);
LinearLayout llTwo = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llTwo);
llOne.addView(llTwo); //NullPointerException
you need to inflate the second layout, as setContentView only inflate your llOne
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View otherView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourSecondLayoutFileName, null);
and then
LinearLayout llTwo = (LinearLayout) otherView .findViewById(R.id.llTwo);
llOne.addView(llTwo);
I want to cast multiple XML layouts as views. Because of a change request I need to use a ViewSwitcher. So I have to cast the XML layout to Views before setContentView.
I always get a NullPointerException. I tried:
view = (View) findViewById(R.id.viewgroup_id);
view = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.viewgroup_id);
view = (View) findViewById(R.layout.xml_layout);
view = (View) getResources().getLayout(R.layout.xml_layout);
Try using LayoutInflater. Use this code inside your activity code-
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, null);
You need to inflate layouts for that
Check this link
I have a layout defined in XML. It contains also:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/item"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
I would like to inflate this RelativeView with other XML layout file. I may use different layouts depending on a situation. How should I do it? I was trying different variations of
RelativeLayout item = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.item);
item.inflate(...)
But none of them worked fine.
I'm not sure I have followed your question- are you trying to attach a child view to the RelativeLayout? If so you want to do something along the lines of:
RelativeLayout item = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.item);
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.child, null);
item.addView(child);
You inflate an XML resource. See the LayoutInflater doc .
If your layout is in a mylayout.xml, you would do something like:
View view;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);
RelativeLayout item = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.item);
Though late answer,
but would like to add that one way to get this
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, item );
where item is the parent layout where you want to add a child layout.
It's helpful to add to this, even though it's an old post, that if the child view that is being inflated from xml is to be added to a viewgroup layout, you need to call inflate with a clue of what type of viewgroup it is going to be added to. Like:
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.child, item, false);
The inflate method is quite overloaded and describes this part of the usage in the docs. I had a problem where a single view inflated from xml wasn't aligning in the parent properly until I made this type of change.
Even simpler way is to use
View child = View.inflate(context, R.layout.child, null)
item.addChild(child) //attach to your item
Try this code :
If you just want to inflate your layout :
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.your_xml_layout,null); // Code for inflating xml layout
RelativeLayout item = view.findViewById(R.id.item);
If you want to inflate your layout in container(parent layout) :
LinearLayout parent = findViewById(R.id.container); //parent layout.
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.your_xml_layout,parent,false);
RelativeLayout item = view.findViewById(R.id.item); //initialize layout & By this you can also perform any event.
parent.addView(view); //adding your inflated layout in parent layout.
layout inflation
View view = null;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);
main.addView(view);
If you're not in an activity you can use the static from() method from the LayoutInflater class to get a LayoutInflater, or request the service from the context method getSystemService() too :
LayoutInflater i;
Context x; //Assuming here that x is a valid context, not null
i = (LayoutInflater) x.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
//OR
i = LayoutInflater.from(x);
(I know it's almost 4 years ago but still worth mentioning)
AttachToRoot Set to True
Just think we specified a button in an XML layout file with its layout width and layout height set to match_parent.
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/custom_button">
</Button>
On This Buttons Click Event We Can Set Following Code to Inflate Layout on This Activity.
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourlayoutname, this);
Hope this solution works for you.!
If you want to add a single view multiple time then you have to use
layoutInflaterForButton = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
for (int noOfButton = 0; noOfButton < 5; noOfButton++) {
FrameLayout btnView = (FrameLayout) layoutInflaterForButton.inflate(R.layout.poll_button, null);
btnContainer.addView(btnView);
}
If you do like
layoutInflaterForButton = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
FrameLayout btnView = (FrameLayout) layoutInflaterForButton.inflate(R.layout.poll_button, null);
and
for (int noOfButton = 0; noOfButton < 5; noOfButton++) {
btnContainer.addView(btnView);
}
then it will throw exception of all ready added view.
If you are you trying to attach a child view to the RelativeLayout? you can do by following
RelativeLayout item = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.item);
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.child, item, true);
I had the hardest time with this error, because of my unique circumstances, but finally found a solution.
My situation: I am using a separate view (XML) which holds a WebView, then opens in an AlertDialog when I click a button in my main activity view. But somehow or another the WebView belonged to the main activity view (probably because I pull the resource from here), so right before I assigned it to my AlertDialog (as a view), I had to get the parent of my WebView, put it into a ViewGroup, then remove all the views on that ViewGroup. This worked, and my error went away.
// set up Alert Dialog box
AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
// inflate other xml where WebView is
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService
(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.your_webview_layout, null);
final WebView webView = (WebView) v.findViewById(R.id.your_webview_id);
// more code...
.... later on after I loaded my WebView ....
// first, remove the parent of WebView from it's old parent so can be assigned a new one.
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) webView.getParent();
vg.removeAllViews();
// put WebView in Dialog box
alert.setView(webView);
alert.show();
With Kotlin, you can use:
val content = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.[custom_layout_name], null)
[your_main_layout].apply {
//..
addView(content)
}
When add a layout to an Activity in Kotlin, see these steps:
Add just in Activity - One layout as a parent
Xml file of new
Layout Give the value of R.
val parent: LinearLayout =findViewById(R.id.stars)
val view =
LayoutInflater.from(applicationContext).inflate(R.layout.another, parent,false)
Where parent is not necessary, can be null But warning message will be appear
view.findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.ivTimer).setImageResource(R.drawable.t2)
Any view must be set value in this way, finally add
parent.apply { addView(view)}
I had used below snippet of code for this and it worked for me.
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.item);
View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.child, null);
linearLayout.addView(child);
