Check if a View contains another View

Is there a way to check if a view contains another certain view? I have an AbsoluteLayout view that I add multiple views to (buttons). I have a certain button, let's call it reportButton, and I want to check to see if its already within my AbsoluteLayout view. Is there like an AbsoluteLayout.contains(reportButton) method or something of the kind?

This is what I want to do. "myLayout" is the absolutelayout and "reportAll" is the button.

Using java Syntax Highlighting

class reportAllButtonThread implements Runnable {
 
    //@Override
 
        public void run() {
 
            while(true) {
 
                if (myLayout.contains(reportAll)) {
 
                    //Do something
 
                }
 
            }
 
        }
 
}

        Button button2 = new Button(this);

        if(abs.indexOfChild(button1) > -1)
 
            Log.d("","BUTTON1 IS IN.. YEEEHAW");
 
        if(abs.indexOfChild(button2) > -1)
 
            Log.d("","BUTTON2 IS ALSO IN");
 
        else 
 
            Log.d("","BUTTON2 IS OUT");
 
    }
