Re: [android-developers] Howto? identify the inflated resource
Brill, Post some code... and the layout you are inflating. I use tags all the time to identify views, so it's definitely possible.

Re: [android-developers] Howto? identify the inflated resource
Already done :) In my case, I grabbing values out of the style and sometimes I need to get a child style depending on the xml. In the end I used a static member that I can art with the last lpaded xml. Kludhy but works for now. - Brill Pappin Sent from my Android device Kostya Vasilyev wrote: >Umm, declare a theme with whatever attributes you need (using >declare-styleable) and get the values in the constructor from the >AttributeSet?

Re: [android-developers] Howto? identify the inflated resource
Umm, declare a theme with whatever attributes you need (using declare-styleable) and get the values in the constructor from the AttributeSet? I believe that's how it's supposed to be done, all the framework support is already there. -- Kostya Vasilyev -- http://kmansoft.wordpress.com 13.01.2011 22:04 пользователь "Brill Pappin" написал: > I can't set it after inflate because I'm trying to access it in the constructor. > > I did try setting it in xml, but I only get null back (may be a bug, but I haven't investigated that). > > - Brill Pappin > > Sent from my Android device > > Brad Gies wrote: > >> >>Can't you just set the tag when you inflate it?

Re: [android-developers] Howto? identify the inflated resource
I can't set it after inflate because I'm trying to access it in the constructor. I did try setting it in xml, but I only get null back (may be a bug, but I haven't investigated that). - Brill Pappin Sent from my Android device Brad Gies wrote: > >Can't you just set the tag when you inflate it?

Re: [android-developers] Howto? identify the inflated resource
Can't you just set the tag when you inflate it? Or set the tag in the .xml file?
