Is possible in Android to findView by String Id?

I add some rows in table programmatically and in next iteration need to remove some of them and I have List id ( "tblRow_1", "tblRow_3" ..}). Can I retrieve by ids from the list?

Answer 1

Use getResources().getIdentifier() to retrieve the actual integer resource ID.

example

int resID = getResources().getIdentifier(stringVar, "id", "com.sample.project");
view = findViewById(resID);

Answer 2

You can use Resources.getIdentifier() for this.
