import xml into another xml


You can use

<include  layout="@layout/commonlayout" android:id="@+id/id" />

commonlayout.xml should be defined in res/layout where you can add the repeated parts.


As Labeeb P rightly said, it works. Just want to add that you can also override parameters too:

<include          layout="@layout/commonlayout"         android:id="@+id/id"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:layout_weight="1"        android:layout_marginLeft="2sp"        android:layout_marginRight="2sp" />


In addition to those great answers, you can also avoid code duplication by using the <merge> tag, like so:

<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    <Button        android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:text="@string/add"/>    <Button        android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"        android:text="@string/delete"/></merge>

The <merge> part gets stripped when you include it into other xml. This might help including more than a single Button at a time. See the official documentation.
