XML Inflater not seeing any of the views?

3.2k Views Asked by At

First I should prolly ask if it is indeed possible to do what I'm trying to do.

I have a custom RelativeView and it contains 4 TextViews and a button defines in an xml layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<view class="com.android.appionresourcemanager.Widgets.Digital"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/digitalface">
      <TextView android:id="@+id/digi_reading"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/>
      <TextView android:id="@+id/digi_header"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"/> 
      <Button android:id="@+id/digi_grouping"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
      <TextView android:id="@+id/digi_measurement"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"/>
      <!-- If a gauge has more than one input types, this is how they would 
      toggle them. -->
      <TextView android:id="@+id/digi_type"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/digi_reading"
        android:layout_above="@+id/digi_measurement"/>
</view>

This I inflated the views into the RelativeLayout class.

public void init() {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

        mReadDisplay = (TextView)inflater.inflate(R.id.digi_reading, this, true);
            mReadDisplay.setTypeface(Typeface.createFromAsset(context.getAssets(),
                    "font/DIGITALDREAM.ttf"));
            mReadDisplay.setTextSize(18f);
        mHeadDisplay = (TextView)inflater.inflate(R.id.digi_header, this, true);
            mHeadDisplay.setTextSize(14f);
        mMeasureDisplay = (TextView)inflater.inflate(R.id.digi_measurement, this, true);
            mMeasureDisplay.setTextSize(10f);
        mTypeDisplay = (TextView)inflater.inflate(R.id.digi_type, this, true);
            mTypeDisplay.setTextSize(10f);
        mGrouping = (Button)inflater.inflate(R.id.digi_grouping, this, true);
            mGrouping.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);
    }

Everything looks good so far, so I run it and get a massive xml crash saying that it can't find my resource. Is it because I embedded it in the custom RelativeLayout?

As mreichelt pointed out in a comment, your use of Layout.inflate seems suspicious. You probably want to do something more like this:

    // Assume that the XML file from your question (above) is named MyLayoutFile.xml 
    // Digital is your derived layout class
    Digital layout = (Digital) inflater.inflate(R.layout.MyLayoutFile, this, true);

    mReadDisplay = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.digi_reading);
    //...
    mHeadDisplay = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.digi_header);
    //...
    mMeasureDisplay = (TextView) layout.findViewById(R.id.digi_measurement);

and so on. Notice especially that the ID passed into inflater.inflate is prefixed with R.layout., whereas the ID passed into findViewById is prefixed with R.id. (Unfortunately, passing the wrong kind of resource identifier will never generate a compile-time error.)

You are doing it wrong, you only call inflate for the root view. 

com.android.appionresourcemanager.Widgets.Digital mDigital = (Digital)View.inflate(this, R.layout.mylayout, null);
 mReadDisplay = (TextView)mDigital.findViewById(R.id.digi_reading);
 //....

hope this helps!

I think you need to define the first tag as <merge>-tag instead of defining your own class again. At least I did it this way a few days ago. Here is more information: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/layout-tricks-merge.html
