Hi there,

i'm currently trying to make a "framelike" layout. I need a frame containing some components which are always visible und stay the same while using the applications activities.

I have 2 Layouts defined in xml which do what i want. i can also combine to layouts, with adding a second view, but i cant add a sevcond activity (which is against the android design concept...)

can anybody tell me a solution to load a second layout in an opend one because the second layout needs to have sort of singleton behaviour and should be exactly the same on all other activities.

Hello michael22,

the SDK provides the following function.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

ViewInflate.from(this).inflate(resourceID, rootViewGroup, attachToRoot, additionalInflateParamsMap);
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Its description sounds as it will help you further. It goes as follows:

View android.view.ViewInflate.inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot, Map inflateParams)

public View inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root, boolean attachToRoot, Map inflateParams)
Inflate a new view hierarchy from the specified xml resource. Throws ViewInflate.InflateException if there is an error.

Parameters
resource ID for an XML layout resource to load (e.g., R.layout.main_page)
root Optional view to be the parent of the generated hierarchy (if attachToRoot is true), or else simply an object that provides a set of LayoutParams values for root of the returned hierarchy (if attachToRoot is false.)
attachToRoot Whether the inflated hierarchy should be attached to the root parameter? If false, root is only used to create the correct subclass of LayoutParams for the root view in the XML.
inflateParams Optional map of additional attribute name/value pairs to apply to the root element. Can be null. Currently, this parameter is only intended to be used internally by Android.

Returns
The root View of the inflated hierarchy. If root was supplied and attachToRoot is true, this is root; otherwise it is the root of the inflated XML file.

Let us know if it helped you.

Regards,

Hi,

I am customizig an AdapterView and trying to inflate an xml, but android.view.ViewInflate class is no more part of new version of sdk... is there any other method of inflating an xml...

older code is
ViewInflate inflate = ViewInflate.from( context );

Don't pose the same question 2 times.

Yeah don't post the question twice :-)

Any way take a look at the API documentation of the LayoutInflater.....

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
 
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout, null, true);
Parsed in 0.041 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Cheers,
--D
