Android: View.setID(int id) programmatically - how to avoid ID conflicts?

Question

I\'m adding TextViews programmatically in a for-loop and add them to an ArrayList.

How do I use TextView.setId(int id)? What Integer ID do I come up wit

Answer 1

This works for me:

static int id = 1;

// Returns a valid id that isn't in use
public int findId(){  
    View v = findViewById(id);  
    while (v != null){  
        v = findViewById(++id);  
    }  
    return id++;  
}
