Question

I have a problem loading previously created layout. I would like to load it and change text on buttons inside, then show it to the user. It will be quiz question and I have to show it many times during one activity. I don’t want to create new class for my layout.

What do I have to use? I read something about Inflate class, but I think it is used only to create new classes. I tried setContentView() method, but app stops when method doing this load starts:

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.CapitalQuestionLayout);
setContentView((View) layout);

Can someone give some hints?

Try using the layout field not the id field, when you call from the R class, like so :

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.layout.CapitalQuestionLayout);
setContentView((View) layout);
