How to add Layout as a child

In my application I have 2 layouts. One's is root layout that changes dynamically and the second is just a form that opens many times. The form must be child of the root layout but I'm failing to perform so.

I assume that I should simply use:

main.AddView(formLayout)

but I can't figure out how get this formLayout object.

Will thank you for possible answers.

With the advice of cjk I wrote piece of code that actually answers my question:

setContentView(R.layout.main);
main = ((ViewGroup)findViewById(android.R.id.content));
LayoutInflater inflater = this.getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup form=  (ViewGroup) inflater.inflate(R.layout.formLayout, null);
main.addView(form);

Thank you all

By get I figure you mean you want to retrieve a field in the new opened layout, you can do it by making it a new Intent and using startActivityForResult instead of startActivity.

Sounds like you need the LayoutInflater object Android reference.

This allows you to create an object from the xml layout in your project.

Not sure if I understand the question properly, but something like that might work:

View myView;
myView = (View) this.findViewById(R.id.formLayout);
main.addView(myView);
