i thought by now you could read my mind :-) assuming that the XML enclosed in the post is in res/layout/contact_view.xml
in the custom ListView... LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from (this.context); // passing null here, as i'm assuming that the ListView will hook the view up with its hierarchy ContactView contactView = (ContactView) inflater.inflate (R.layout.contact_view, null); in the custom item View... LinearLayout top = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.contact_top_layout); "top" comes back null. if ContactView asks for its own children, the count comes back zero. thanks in advance! >The code would help :) > >On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 1:56 PM, Jason Proctor ><[email protected]> wrote: >> >> i'm running into some issues inflating layouts and i wonder whether i >> have something basic wrong. >> >> i have a ListView with a custom adapter etc, and of course the item >> View is custom too. i've been creating the item View in code, and >> everything works fine, including recycling them and all that. great. >> but i want to move the View into a resource, where all good Android >> views live, and weirdness is happening. >> >> in the ListView's getView(), i get my inflater and inflate the view >> by ID. the view itself has its own XML file. i can inflate the top >> view, but i can't find anything by ID, and when asked for its >> children, nothing comes back. >> >> are there funky rules for inflating views this way? is there a >> convention for how this should be done inside a ListView? >> >> thanks -- (abbreviated) XML layout code enclosed... >> >> <com.particlebrand.roboto.android.ContactView >> xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; >> android:layout_width="fill_parent" >> android:layout_height="wrap_content" >> android:orientation="vertical" >> android:background="#ffffffff" >> > >> <!-- >> the top layout, with clickable user name header >> and "contact" widget >> --> >> <LinearLayout >> android:id="@+id/contact_top_layout" >> android:layout_width="fill_parent" >> android:layout_height="wrap_content" >> android:orientation="horizontal" >> > >> <TextView >> android:id="@+id/contact_user_name" >> android:layout_width="fill_parent" >> android:layout_height="wrap_content" >> android:layout_weight="1" >> android:background="#ffffffff" >> android:textColor="#ff000000" >> android:textSize="18px" >> /> >> ... >> </LinearLayout> >> </com.particlebrand.roboto.android.ContactView> >> >> >> -- >> jason.vp.engineering.particle >> >> > >> > > > >-- >Romain Guy >Android framework engineer >[email protected] > >Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time >to provide private support.
