Question

I’m going to create a new RelativeLayout with some Text and Image Views programatically and then add it to a parent layout. The question: is it possible to define that layout in XML and then just add it to the parent programatically? Would be a faster way..

Answer 1

Use inflation:

final LayoutInflater lyInflaterForPanel = (LayoutInflater) mContext
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
LinearLayout lLayoutPanel = (LinearLayout) lyInflaterForPanel.inflate(
                R.layout.my_row, null);

This has worked for me.
