Pass the same View to a function that you are using in the setContentView()

Question

I have the following function: createEl(View view, ....)

I have to go to the same View function I'm using in the:

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main).

I tried with:

View view = (View) getLayoutInflater().Inflate (R.layout.activity_main, null);

But it does not work. How can I do?

Exactly what happen? Your layout not showing after using that ? — Piyush, Nov 15 '18 at 12:27
do you add the view to the layout after you inflate it? can you post more of your code please? — Nikos Hidalgo, Nov 15 '18 at 12:28

Your code isn't working because you are using different instances of the layout. Inflate the view and use that in setContentView().

Try this

View view =  getLayoutInflater().inflate (R.layout.activity_main, null);
setContentView(view);

Now you can use view the way you want. It would be the same instance which is loaded in the activity.

There are other methods to get the loaded view but this should suit you best. see this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5273436/how-to-get-activitys-content-view – Rohit5k2 Nov 15 '18 at 12:36
