Find view by name

Question

Is it possible to find a view by its name rather than its id.

findViewById(R.id.someView);

but I would like to do something like this:

Answer 1

Yes, we can find any static resources by name too.

 int id = getResources().getIdentifier(name, "id", context.getPackageName());
View view;
if(id != 0) {
  view = findViewById(id);
}

getResources().identifier will return 0 always if resource not found or name doesn't match.
