How can I get a view by id from a layout in Android?

This is the only way I can find but it seems hacky:

public View getViewByIdFromLayout(int id) {
    for (int i = 0; i < layout.getChildCount(); i++) {
        View v = layout.getChildAt(i);
        if (v.getId() == id)
            return v;
    }
    return null;
}

Is there a better way to do this? These views were created programmatically, not via xml, and the views' ids will be unique in a given layout but may be reused in other layouts.

You can still use findViewById() as long as you've given it an ID. Just make sure to call findViewById() on the layout for which the ID is unique.

You should change 

 if (v.getId() == id)
        return v;

to 

 if (v.getId().equals(id))
        return v;
