This is an observation I made while using findViewById() for views which I had made dynamically(they were not in a layout file). I had made these views in onCreate() of Activity, and set their top-level parent view as the content of the Activity thorugh setContentView() within the onCreate() method.
When I tried to search a view by parentView.findViewById(id), I sometimes got null. But whenever I tried to search them through activity.findViewById(id) - I was always able to get the View object. I was earlier assuming parentView.findViewById(id) should always return the child View - however, perhaps the fact that these Views are not created through a layout file is causing these quirks. Just posting it here, for the benefit of others who may be trying to find a dynamic view by its Id. If anybody has had other experiences in this regard, please let me know.
