How to load a resource layout into the code

Question

I have a linear layout, defined using xml. I would like to reuse it. Thus, I need to load it in the code. I have found getResoruces().getLayout(R.layout.my_layout) but it returns an XmlResourceParser object. How can I convert it into a Linear Layout, please?

Answer 1

Have a look at the LayoutInflator. It should do what you need.

Answer 2

Give an ID to your linearlayout from XML then use below code.

LinearLayout myLinLay=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.my_layout);
