I'm trying to adjust something (color, text, visibility or etc) to a group of Buttons inside a ConstraintLayout
which are grouped using a Flow
helper.
Since Flow
or more accurately ConstraintLayout
doesn't nest child Views inside itself using a ViewGroup
but references their ids to achieve a more flat view tree, I failed to get a list of all children/referenced views of a certain Flow
.
View
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I found some related questions:
However, those solutions are irrelevant for ConstraintLayout
and especially Flow
because Flow
has no children and only some views are referenced to it.
Simple extension function
fun Flow.referencedViews(): List<View> {
val views = mutableListOf<View>()
for (id in this.referencedIds) {
val view = this.rootView.findViewById<View>(id)
if (view != null) views.add(view)
}
return views
}
or a one-liner for the sake of brevity
fun Flow.referencedViews() = referencedIds.toList().mapNotNull(rootView::findViewById)
