Question

I have an activity that when created contains an EditText but if you click a button it is replaced with a custom view called a MinPick. I need another class to get the view via findViewById(). But of course I need to define what the variable getting the id should be. Either EditText or MinPick. How do I do some sort of conditional if it is not an EditText it must be a MinPick.

You can use “instanceof”:

final View tempView = findViewById(R.id.XXXxxxxXXX);

if (tempView instanceof EditText)
{
// TODO Do some stuff
}
else
{
// TODO Do some other stuff
}
