Android: Getting the View added with LayoutInflator

Java or C# answers are fine (we use MonoDroid)

I successfully add a control to a LinearLayout with:

    LayoutInflater _inflatorservice = (LayoutInflater)this.GetSystemService(Context.LayoutInflaterService);
    var viewContainer = _inflatorservice.Inflate(Resource.Layout.ReportItImageButton, myLinearLayout);

How do I then get a reference to the view just added? I add many of the same control this way so would need to get the nth item added to the layout.

There is an additional parameter. It doesn't add your inflated view to myLinearLayout, but still returns the View object of it.

var viewObj = _inflatorservice.Inflate(
    Resource.Layout.ReportItImageButton, myLinearLayout, false);

Note that, for example, if you added a LinearLayout then you'll get a LinearLayout back. This method returns the root view of your XML layout so it can be any type of View.

This works, it gets the most recent item added assuming the item is of type Button.

LayoutInflater _inflatorservice = (LayoutInflater)this.GetSystemService(
    Context.LayoutInflaterService);
var layout = _inflatorservice.Inflate(
    Resource.Layout.ReportItImageButton, layoutImages) as LinearLayout;

if (layout != null)
{
    var b = layout.GetChildAt(layout.ChildCount - 1) as Button;
    if (b != null)
    {
    }
}

View v = myLinearLayout.findViewById(R.id.myViewId)

myViewId should be the same as the id specfied in your ReportItImageButton.xml file
