Get the id of a view as String in onClick event

Hi im trying to get the ID i set on each of these linear layouts but instead im getting

android.widget.LinearLayout@41032a40 or similar which isn't much use to me.

I have set the id to row1, and thats what i would like to return.

Im sure I've done something similar before, so i cant figure out why it is returning the above.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/gridview"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/row1"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dip"
    android:background="@android:color/black"
    android:onClick="xmlClickHandler" />

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/row2"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dip"
    android:background="@android:color/white"
    android:onClick="xmlClickHandler" />

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/row3"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dip"
    android:background="@android:color/black" 
    android:onClick="xmlClickHandler" />

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/row4"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dip"
    android:background="@color/white" 
    android:onClick="xmlClickHandler" />

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/row5"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dip"
    android:background="@color/yellow" 
    android:onClick="xmlClickHandler" />
 <LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/row6"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="30dip"
    android:background="@color/blue"
    android:onClick="xmlClickHandler" />


        public void xmlClickHandler(View v) {
    Log.d("CLICK ROW", String.valueOf(v));
}

The Simple Solution which is just a one-line code. It can Fetch any id from the view.

String id=id=getResources().getResourceEntryName(view.getId());

View ID can be checked using v.getID()

You can simply check as

   if(v.getId()==R.id.row1)

and perform your desired task accordingly.

You can do it in this way: 

public void xmlClickHandler(View v) {
    String viewID = getResources().getResourceName(v.getId());
}

And than you have to parse the result string.

Try to set android:tag="row1" and use Log.d("CLICK ROW", String.valueOf(v.getTag())); to print the id.

I've just seen another question, apparently you cannot return the id as a string.

Log.d("CLICK ROW", String.valueOf(v.getId()));

v is an instance of the View class, and you can use the getId() method to get the View's ID.
