I refer to this question: How do I access the views inside the layout when I reuse it multiple times?
I have the following two layouts:
<!-- layout_to_include.xml -->
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
and
<!-- widget.xml -->
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<include
android:id="@+id/included_layout_1"
layout="@layout/layout_to_include"/>
<include
android:id="@+id/included_layout_2"
layout="@layout/layout_to_include"/>
</LinearLayout>
Normally, you can access the TextViews programmatically inside the included layout like this:
LinearLayout l1 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.included_layout_1);
((TextView) l1.findViewById(R.id.text_view)).setText("test1");
LinearLayout l2 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.included_layout_2);
((TextView) l2.findViewById(R.id.text_view)).setText("test2");
But in my case, I have an Android AppWidget which can only accessed via RemoteViews:
RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widget);
views.setTextViewText(R.id.text_view, "test1");
This will only change the text of the first TextView.
I have not find any solution, so my question is whether is it possible to set the text of the TextView within multiple included layouts.
Can be done.
Remove your include
s; you need to add programmatically (no other way AFAIK), so add id (e.g. LinearLayout
) to your widget's linearlayout, and:
RemoteViews one = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.layout_to_include);
one.setTextViewText(R.id.text_view, "tv-ONE"); // <---
remoteViews.addView(R.id.LinearLayout, one);
RemoteViews two = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.layout_to_include);
two.setTextViewText(R.id.text_view, "tv-TWO"); // <---
remoteViews.addView(R.id.LinearLayout, two);
