Question

I created an LinearLayout using the following code:

LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
LinearLayout container = (LinearLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.my_item, null);

My question is, is container.getId() equal to ‘R.layout.my_item’ after the code above is executed? Or, do I have to set id to the newly created layout using the code below?

container.setId(R.layout.my_item);

My example code showed that I have to explicitly set id to the layout created from code, which is out of my expectation.

Thanks.

Edit:
The purpose that I want to set id on the layout is for OnClick listener set on the layout.

public void onClick(View v) {
    Intent intent;

    switch (v.getId()) {

    case R.layout.my_item:
      ....
    break;

Answer 1

The id would be the id of the view you inflated. That is to say, whatever the android:id of the root element of R.layout.my_item is. It should be an R.id value, not a R.layout one.
