Android: How to get an XML layout from a different contentview

I am in the contentview of seekbarlist.xml and need to get the layout of seekbars.xml. I need to send the layout to CustomSeekBar constructor. Below, you can see that I tried to set the content view to one layout, grab it, then switch to the other. This will not work b/c I have to extend listactivity and the layout must have an item with the id "list". seekbars.xml does not have a "list" and it would not make sense for it to have it. How can I get the layout of seekbars?

 public class ColorsActivity extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

//Array Adapter that will hold our ArrayList and display the items on the ListView
SeekBarAdaptor seekBarAdaptor;

//List that will  host our items and allow us to modify that array adapter
ArrayList<CustomSeekBar> seekBarArrayList=null;
// TextView myValueText;

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.seekbars);
    LinearLayout myLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.layout.seekbars);

    setContentView(R.layout.seekbarlist);

    //Initialize ListView        
    ListView lstTest= getListView();


     //Initialize our ArrayList
    seekBarArrayList = new ArrayList<CustomSeekBar>();

    //Initialize our array adapter 
    seekBarAdaptor = new SeekBarAdaptor(ColorsActivity.this, R.layout.seekbars, seekBarArrayList);

    CustomSeekBar red = new CustomSeekBar(this, myLayout, "red", 1);
    //CustomSeekBar blue = new CustomSeekBar(this, "blue");
    //CustomSeekBar green = new CustomSeekBar(this, "green");

    //Set the above adapter as the adapter of choice for our list
    lstTest.setAdapter(seekBarAdaptor);

    seekBarArrayList.add(red);
    //seekBarArrayList.add(blue);
    //seekBarArrayList.add(green);

    Amarino.connect(this, "00:11:11:21:05:53");
 }

}

You need to use LayoutInflator. 

LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.seekbars, null);

You can pass null to the ViewGroup parameter.
