<WebView android:id="@ id/googleWebview"/>
Here I can set an ID as the string "googleWebview"
but if I try to use setId()
programatically it expects an integer. Why is this?
CodePudding user response:
In Android all view IDs are integers - @ id/googleWebView
is just a label for an integer ID.
In this case the @id/
indicates that it's handling an ID reference, the
means that this is a new ID that should be generated. Under the hood, Android stores these generated IDs in the R
file, and you can access reference them programmatically as R.id.{label}
.
CodePudding user response:
When the app is build "@ id/googleWebview"
is actually turned into an int. It will go to the R
class. To access any ids you defined before in your xml files you can simply write R.id.idName
in your code so in your case:
view.setId(R.id.googleWebview);
for example
