Get root view from current activity

Question

I know how to get the root view with View.getRootView(). I am also able to get the view from a button\'s onClick event where the argument is a View. But how can

Answer 1

Just incase Someone needs an easier way:

The following code gives a view of the whole activity:

View v1 = getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView();

To get a certian view in the activity,for example an imageView inside the activity, simply add the id of that view you want to get:

View v1 = getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView().findViewById(R.id.imageView1);

Hope this helps somebody
