The include problem has a workaround, see comment #9 at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2863#c9

In short, you need to specify BOTH layout_width and layout_height if you want to override any layout_* attributes.

Noone seems to want to fix the issue, though…

if i want to reuse a definition can i do so using #include? Or do i need to wrap that button in a LinearLayout, which would violate you Trick#3 Optimize section ;)

thanks.

I also have a similar question. How do you get the correct view in the code with findViewById when you are including a layout for three times? The sample here is overwriting the layout id, not the id of the views IN this layout. For example, if the workspace_screen.xml looks like this:

Do I end up with three TextViews with id firstText, and another three with secondText? Isn’t there an id collision? Then how do I find the secondText TextView in the third included layout with findViewById? What should I input in the findViewById method?

I’m having the same issue that Matthias discussed a year ago.

Would it be possible to get some sample code of how to properly set up the ids in values?

Hi,

In the above sited example.

How can I enable a scrollbar for the three included workspace screen, to scroll across the three screens.

Thanks and Regards,

Let’s try this again…

Hello,

I wrote a test app to test this functionality. The LinearLayout(s) are added but the text on the button is not displayed and the button. What am I missing?

Here is the LinearLayout with the button:

Here is the other included LinearLayout:

Here is the LinearLayout that includes the other two:

Thanks,
Harry
