Question

I’m working on a ViewFlipper project. In this main.xml file I have created a webview but I can’t reach it in my mainActivity (by findViewById). I can connect the buttons but it just seems like I can’t connect with the webview.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >

<TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/hello" />

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/previous"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="previous" />

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/next"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:text="next" />
</LinearLayout>

<ViewFlipper
    android:id="@+id/flipper"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="#C0C0C0"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <WebView
            android:id="@+id/webView1"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />


    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:background="#A0A0A0"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:orientation="horizontal" >



        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" />
    </LinearLayout>
</ViewFlipper>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

it seems you are using it the right way,
but I think I know why it does’t show on the auto complete suggestions box:
perform a “clean” + “build” operation from eclipse menu tools:

check the

Project -> Build Automatically

and then hit the:

Project->Clean

I’m sure after the project re-built, the id of the webView1 would show in the auto complete box.
