I see this question here, and it makes me wonder if what I’m asking isn’t really possible:
How to share a view across various activities
Basically, I have a common footer view that I’m inflating (including) in all of my views. However, it uses the same repetitive code to do that. My thought was to create a parent activity class to do this, but it doesn’t seem correct to have one activity render the view of another. So should I just create a utility class of some sort, or is there a better way?
You can include other layout XML files directly in another layout file. So whenever you set content to a layout file, along comes your footer for the ride.
If your footer needs code to drive it, just create a custom class for it along with the layout file. Then perhaps during instantiation you can drive the code that needs to execute.
This is a blog of how to do it.
