android including one layout with different IDs

Question

I have created a layout with an ImageView, I want to include it two times with two different ImageView like a ListView with different positions.

this is the ImageView layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <include android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" layout="@layout/main_guilds_item" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /> <include layout="@layout/main_guilds_item" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /> </LinearLayout>

here i include the layout two times but i want to access those ImageViews with different IDs to set different Images.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <include android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" layout="@layout/main_guilds_item" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /> <include layout="@layout/main_guilds_item" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /> </LinearLayout>

How can I do it ?

Please share the code you already have, and if possible a (simple and small) image of what you want to achieve. That way it's easier for the rest of us to help you. — Marcel50506

The two codeblocks you've added are the same. Could you include the 'main_guilds_item' xml layout? — Marcel50506

You can create custom view for this purpose. Steps are

Create a xml file of the view my_custom_view.xml

<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <ImageView android:id="@+id/image_view" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/ic_launcher" /> </RelativeLayout>

Then you need to create a class ItemList that extends RelativeLayout(the parent layout in your my_custom_view.xml)

public class ItemList extends RelativeLayout { ImageView mImageView; public ItemList(Context context) { this(context, null); } public ItemList(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { this(context, attrs, 0); } public ItemList(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle){ super(context, attrs, defStyle); LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.item_list_content, this); mImageView=(ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view); } public void setImage(Drawable imageId){ mImageView.setImageDrawable(imageId); } }

Then you can use this customview in your other layouts as many times as you want like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <yourpackage.ItemList android:id="@+id/first_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> </yourpackage.ItemList> <yourpackage.ItemList android:id="@+id/second_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> </yourpackage.ItemList> </LinearLayout>

Now from your class you do

ItemList firstItem=(ItemList) findViewById(R.id.first_view); ItemList secondItem=(ItemList) findViewById(R.id.second_view); firstItem.setImage(R.drawable.your_image); secondItem.setImage(R.drawable.your_image_2);

NOTE: You can also take the image from xml. In that case you will have to use custom attribute. Follow the link for that purpose. https://stackoverflow.com/a/7608739/3975838
