Im trying to inflate a view which serves as a loading screen for my glSurfaceView<\/code> while it swaps out textures during runtime (i know how to do it during my onCreate<\/code> just fine). Its just a RelativeLayout<\/code> with a progress bar in the middle and when its done with the swap it disappears, but its not inflating correctly.<\/p>\n

inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);\n    loading = inflater.inflate(R.layout.loading,null);\nRelativeLayout loadingScreen = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.loadingScreen);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
where loadingScreen is the id of the relative layout.<\/p>\n
xml:<\/p>\n
\n\n\n    \n    \n\n    \n    \n\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
For a test, I added an EditText above the following additional code to test it out:<\/p>\n
EditText tester = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText); \/\/Now we have an object\n    tester.setText(\"dfdfds\");\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
and the error log:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    Try loading.findViewById(…) instead of just findViewById(…)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    i also have these kind of errors.i found that the error is come because of my text editor name is not match with the my text editor id.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    When you have inflatet the View you need to use that view when finding child views like this<\/p>\n
        inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);\n    loading = inflater.inflate(R.layout.loading,null);\n    RelativeLayout loadingScreen = (RelativeLayout) loading.findViewById(R.id.loadingScreen);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
