Question

How to inflate particular View from separate xml file. Is it possible? When I`m trying to set id of this View I just have an ResourceNotFoundException.
Maybe I need to set somehow the name of file?

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(this);
FrameLayout ingredients_frame = (FrameLayout)inflater.inflate(R.id.ingredients_frame, null);

R.id.ingredients_frame located just in separate xml file.

Exception:

 android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f060032 type #0x12 is not valid

ingredients_frame_layout.xml:

<FrameLayout 
           xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/ingredients_frame"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/expandable_second_layer_selector" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/text"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:background="@android:color/white"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:text="......................................................................................................................................................................"
                android:textColor="@color/dark_orange"
                android:textSize="18dip"/>

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/ingredient_name"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="left"
                android:background="@android:color/white"
                android:textStyle="bold"
                android:text="@string/friends_total"
                android:textColor="@color/dark_orange"
                android:textSize="18dip" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/ingredient_data"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_gravity="right"
                android:background="@android:color/white"
                android:textStyle="bold"
                android:textColor="@color/dark_orange"
                android:textSize="18dip" />
    </FrameLayout>

Try like this –

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.ingredients_frame_layout, null);

And, the use of View class object you can identifiy other components which is in your layout. Ex, if you’ve one textView in your layout example

TextView tv = (TextView)vi.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
tv.setText("Hello world");

Based on this, just identify your FrameLayout like this

FrameLayout ingredients_frame = (FrameLayout)vi.findViewById(R.id.ingredients_frame);
