Get all child views inside LinearLayout at once
((ViewGroup) findViewById(android.R.id.content));// you can use this in an Activity to get your layout root view, then pass it to findAllEdittexts() method below.
Here I am iterating only EdiTexts, if you want all Views you can replace EditText with View.
SparseArray<EditText> array = new SparseArray<EditText>();
private void findAllEdittexts(ViewGroup viewGroup) {
int count = viewGroup.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View view = viewGroup.getChildAt(i);
if (view instanceof ViewGroup)
findAllEdittexts((ViewGroup) view);
else if (view instanceof EditText) {
EditText edittext = (EditText) view;
array.put(editText.getId(), editText);
}
}
}
Use getChildCount()
and getChildAt(int index)
.
Example:
LinearLayout ll = …
final int childCount = ll.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
View v = ll.getChildAt(i);
// Do something with v.
// …
}
use this
final int childCount = mainL.getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
View element = mainL.getChildAt(i);
// EditText
if (element instanceof EditText) {
EditText editText = (EditText)element;
System.out.println("ELEMENTS EditText getId=>"+editText.getId()+ " getTag=>"+element.getTag()+
" getText=>"+editText.getText());
}
// CheckBox
if (element instanceof CheckBox) {
CheckBox checkBox = (CheckBox)element;
System.out.println("ELEMENTS CheckBox getId=>"+checkBox.getId()+ " getTag=>"+checkBox.getTag()+
" getText=>"+checkBox.getText()+" isChecked=>"+checkBox.isChecked());
}
// DatePicker
if (element instanceof DatePicker) {
DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker)element;
System.out.println("ELEMENTS DatePicker getId=>"+datePicker.getId()+ " getTag=>"+datePicker.getTag()+
" getDayOfMonth=>"+datePicker.getDayOfMonth());
}
// Spinner
if (element instanceof Spinner) {
Spinner spinner = (Spinner)element;
System.out.println("ELEMENTS Spinner getId=>"+spinner.getId()+ " getTag=>"+spinner.getTag()+
" getSelectedItemId=>"+spinner.getSelectedItemId()+
" getSelectedItemPosition=>"+spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()+
" getTag(key)=>"+spinner.getTag(spinner.getSelectedItemPosition()));
}
}
