How can i change included xml layout to another layout on java code?

Question

I included second layout to first layout like this:

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

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="300dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="clip_horizontal"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" 
    android:id="@+id/rlMenu"
    >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/bMusteriler"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Musteriler"
        android:textSize="45dp"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
         />

</RelativeLayout>

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/rlEkranlar"
     >

    <include
        android:id="@+id/include1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        layout="@layout/ikinci" />

</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Problem is how can I change included layout when clicked a button(on java code)?

@YugandharBabu I want to change layout="@layout/ikinci" to layout="@layout/third_layout" when clicked the button. – Underlaid

Answer 1

I suggest ViewFlipper inside RelativeLayout of your include statements. Try like this:

<ViewFlipper xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/vf"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

    <include android:id="@+id/include1" layout="@layout/ikinci" />
    <include android:id="@+id/map" layout="@layout/third_layout" />

</ViewFlipper>

Access ViewFlipper as below. Initially first layout is output:

ViewFlipper vf = (ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.vf);

For Button onClickListener:

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                vf.setDisplayedChild(1);
            }
        });

Thanks a lot. You fixed the problem =)) – Underlaid

For experience, if use ViewFlipper maybe you can see a little slow in your app.... – Stipulation

There is two ways to change layouts in code:

A. Change visibility. Include tow different layouts in your xml:

<include 
    android:id="@+id/id1"
    android:visibility="visible"/>
<include 
    android:id="@+id/id2"
    android:visibility="gone"/>

and in code use this:

findViewById(R.id.id1).setVisibility(View.GONE);
findViewById(R.id.id2).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

B. Manually add children. Use the same xml as you use now and add in code you can add or delete children:

yourRelativeLayout.removeAllViews();
yourRelativeLayout.addView(viewToInclude);

Offtopic:

You don't need to write xmlns:android param in RelativeLayout. Just for the most top tag in layout file.

I was confused because Intellij 14 does not offer "visibility" in autocomplete options. – Broke

Answer 3

Have you tried to get the instance of the current view of the xml you have included the other xml and use findViewById(). View v is the first layout and against this view you use .findViewById()

i tried this: Layout L1 = (Layout) findViewById (R.id.layout1); There is convert error. Can't convert View to Layout. Am i doing wrong somethings? – Underlaid

Layout? There is no such View in SDK as long as you created your own. Make sure you referenced the class names properly. Like: LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, FrameLayout.... – Mana

i tried you suggestion. But i cant solve my problem. I want change included layout when a button clicked. I can't found a method for this. How can i do that? Thanks. – Underlaid
