This method provides a general way of obtaining views that match a given criteria. To use simply implement a ViewMatcher interface

private static List getMatchingViews(ViewGroup root, ViewMatcher viewMatcher){
    List views = new ArrayList();
    final int childCount = root.getChildCount();
    for (int i = 0; i < childCount; i++) {
        final View child = root.getChildAt(i);
        if (child instanceof ViewGroup) {
            views.addAll(getMatchingViews((ViewGroup) child, viewMatcher));
        }

        if(viewMatcher.matches(child)){
            views.add(child);
        }
    }
    return views;
}

public interface ViewMatcher{
    public boolean matches(View v);
}

// Example1: matches views with the given tag
public class TagMatcher implements ViewMatcher {

    private String tag;

    public TagMatcher(String tag){
        this.tag = tag;
    }

    public boolean matches(View v){
        String tag = v.getTag();
        return this.tag.equals(tag);
    }

}


// Example2: matches views that have visibility GONE
public class GoneMatcher implements ViewMatcher {

    public boolean matches(View v){
        v.getVisibility() == View.GONE  
    }

}
