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

In order to dynamically generate View Id form API 17 use

generateViewId()

Which will generate a value suitable for use in setId(int). This value will not collide with ID values generated at build time by aapt for R.id.
