Question

I’m creating childview for viewflipper at runtime based on the no of records in database,
inflating a view and adding to viewflipper. While Clicking each childview of viewflipper, should have newviewflipper with some childs. How to achieve this?

ViewFlipper.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ViewFlipper
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/flipper"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

CustomViewSample.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>        
<com.sample.MjpegView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/fullscreen_video"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Java Code

ViewFlipper viewflipper = (ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.flipper);

- **livevideocount** is an integer contains no of records from table.

for(int i=0;i<livevideocount;i++)
{
  MjpegView mv = (MjpegView)inflater.inflate(R.layout.CustomViewSample,null);
  mv.setVisibility(MjpegView.VISIBLE);
  viewflipper.addView(mv);
}

Clicking this MjpegView object should generate another viewflipper with 3 childviews.

can anyone help me?

You should not directly inflate dynamic content into ViewFliper.

You should add dyna_layout as <LinearLayout /> or <RelativeLayout /> into your ViewFlipper.xml, consider dyna_layout as a ViewGroup:

ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup)(viewflipper.findViewById(R.id.dyna_view));

MjpegView mv = (MjpegView)inflater.inflate(R.layout.CustomViewSample, parent);
mv.setVisibility(MjpegView.VISIBLE); //may use or not
parent.addView(mv);
