Question

I have an A activity that uses a setContentView(R.layout.activityA) method to set a layout. An activityA layout consists of a customView. My customView has a bunch of setters and getters. How can I access them from A activity? When I create an instance of customView in an acitivity A then it works but the customView is created twice: once from the setContentView and the second time when I create a new instance of it. Is there another way of accessing those method? Please advise. Thanks.

Have you tried something like this in your Activity’s code:

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle state){
    super.onCreate(state);
    setContentView(R.layout.activityA);
    CustomView customView = (CustomView)findViewById(R.id.customviewId);

    Something x = customView.someGetterMethodX();
    ...etc...

}
