Mark,
"You can, but then the child is already added to the parent; you do not need to add it yourself." I agree with you, but if you're not going to store this info in the layout, the only option left seem to be refering it using its "R.drawable.childview". How can you convert this, an integer, to a View then ? Should I create an ImageView variable and use its setImageresource() method ? I have just thought of this now and I haven't tried it yet, but will there be a casting problem in that case ? The DDMS perspective in Eclipse doesn't tell me anything at all. I get a message from the emulator saying that the application has stopped working.
