Android - how to find multiple views with common attribute

Question

I have a layout with multiple ImageViews, some of those images need to have the same onClickListener. I would like my code to be flexible and to be able to get

Answer 1

There is no such method as findViewById that returns a group of views, but you can iterate over your views and set them an onClickListener like this:

for (int i = 0;i < layout.getChildCount();i++) {
  View child = layout.getChildAt(i);
  //you can check for view tag or something to see if it satisfies your criteria
  //child.setOnClickListener...
}

UPD: For recursive view hierarchy (this is example from a real project, where we do view refresh recursively, but instead you could just do whatever you want with the nested views):

private void recursiveViewRefresh(ViewGroup view) {
    for (int i = 0;i < view.getChildCount();i++) {
        View child = view.getChildAt(i);
        try {
            ViewGroup viewGroup = (ViewGroup) child;
            recursiveViewRefresh(viewGroup);
        } catch (ClassCastException e) {
            //just ignore the exception - it is used as a check
        }
        singleViewRefresh(child);
    }
}
