Question

In my layout I have defined something like this .

<RadioButton
    android:id="@+id/radio1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Dnt want this text" />

Assume that some function in activity returns me this id (id of radioButton). Now i want to get this text radio1 from this id.
In short I want to retrieve text radio1 written in android:id="@+id/radio1"

Can somebody tell me how is it possible ?

Answer 1

In your Activity, try these:

1. to get string like radio1:

   getResources().getResourceEntryName(int resid);
   

2. to get string like com.sample.app:id/radio1:

   getResources().getResourceName(int resid);
   

In Kotlin Now :

val name = v.context.resources.getResourceEntryName(v.id)
