Include layout in view programmatically within a fragment
android, android-fragments, android-layout, java, xml
Solution
I suppose the solution which you are looking for are Android ViewStubs. These are dynamically inflated layouts.
For more information you could refer these :
How to use View Stub in android
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewStub.html
However, if you don't wish to inflate one layout inside another during runtime, you could try this the include tag:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="@+id/todayView">
<include layout="@layout/your_layout_file_name"/>
</LinearLayout>
Problem
Alright so I have a fragment and I'd like to include, within its' xml file another layout which is programmatically inflated Fragment: ``` public class zGoal_Fragment extends Fragment{ private LinearLayout todayView; private View view; @Nullable @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, @Nullable ViewGroup container, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) { view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.main_goal_view, container, false); todayView = (LinearLayout)view.findViewById(R.id.todayView); return view; } } ``` xml's file for fragment: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/todayView" > </LinearLayout> ``` and xml layout I want included within the above xml programmatically: ``` <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/goalEditLayout" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@color/test_color_two" > </LinearLayout> ``` I've tried a couple different methods all of which led to " on a null object reference" errors... plz help :))
