Yeah, I was wondering whether the Adapter (or whatever) internally creates some container to put the item layout into. But just using merge (without the include approach you mentioned) does not work.
While using the merge-via-include approach may be useful to some, it doesn't help in my particular situation because that RelativeLayout is exactly the sort of thing I'm trying to eliminate :( On Apr 17, 3:50 pm, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > westmeadboy wrote: > > Is it possible use the merge tag in the layout XML for a List item?
