How do I access the views inside the layout when I reuse it multiple times?

Say you want to include this:

<LinearLayout    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:orientation="horizontal">    <ImageView        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_width="wrap_content"        android:src="@drawable/some_image"    />    <TextView        android:id="@+id/included_text_view"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_width="wrap_content"    /></LinearLayout>

so in your code you insert it like this:

<LinearLayout    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:orientation="vertical">    <include android:id="@+id/header_1" layout="@layout/name_of_layout_xml" />    <include android:id="@+id/header_2" layout="@layout/name_of_layout_xml" /></LinearLayout>

now you want to access the text views within the included layouts to set the text dynamically. In your code you simply type:

LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.header_1);TextView tv = (TextView)ll.findViewById(R.id.included_text_view);tv.setText("Header Text 1");ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.header_2);tv = (TextView)ll.findViewById(R.id.included_text_view);tv.setText("Header Text 2");

notice that you use the individual LinearLayouts' findViewById methods to narrow the search to only their children.

I wanted to create TableRow layout and wanted to reuse it to my code in for loop. I was searching for the problem and at last found solution.

        TableLayout table = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.listTable);        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);        ImageButton[] button = new ImageButton[4];        TableRow[] row = new TableRow[4];        for(int i =0 ; i<4;i++){                row[i] = (TableRow) inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row, null);                table.addView(row[i]);                button[i] = (ImageButton)row[i].findViewById(R.id.editBtn);                button[i].setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {                    @Override                    public void onClick(View v) {                        // TODO Auto-generated method stub                        Log.i(TAG,"Button Clicked");                    }                });

This way you can achieve the functionality of reusing the layout and also can access inner elements
