Josh, I have getViewTypeCount (2 here) & getItemViewType (0/text_row, 1/ icon_row) in my adapter so it knows about the two row types. ConvertView is set to the correct row type.
The question is how to correctly apply merge to rid of the LinearLayout in: * layout/icon_row.xml w/ <LinearLayout>/icon_row * layout/icon_text.xml w/ <Linearlayout>/icon_text If I simply replace <LinearLayout> with <merge> in above xml's, inflate will throw exception w/o a ViewGroup parent. So I need to pass in ViewGroup to my Adapter somehow. This may not be the case for merge but I would like to find out if it still can be done. Thanks.
