Question

I am trying to do inheritance between activities in my application.
I want to create “general activity” style for my all application.

For example, this “general activity” includes toolbar and statusbar. I want to show both in each activity in my program.

I wrote the BaseActivity layout like that:

<include layout="@layout/titlebar" />
<!-- Some control that can contain layout -->
<include layout="@layout/statusbar" />

And MainActivity that extends BaseActivity.
I want to insert in code the layout of the MainActivity to the specific space on BaseActivity.

Is it possible to do that? If yes, how can I set the layout of my inheritance activity in specific spase on this BaseActivity?
There is any control that can contain layout?

Answer 1

This can be possible from java side (Note that I didn’t tried yet), here is an example Reusing layout XML and the code behind.

This is can also be done via layouts.

You have to make a separate layout (xml) for you toolbar or status bar, and then you have to include in required layout.
