For example, he might download a .xml file and then want to use that as his content view. It doesn't work like this, you have a resource ID that is generated, and then you pass this, you can't just pass in random xml that will be parsed. So, basically, no, you can't do this this way. However, you can add UI objects on the fly to your content views. Why do you have to do this again? It sounds like you probably just want to programmatically add a number of TextViews on the fly anyway. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
