Android | Get all children elements of a ViewGroup

Question

getChildAt(i) on gets only the direct children of a ViewGroup, is it possible to access to all children without doing nested loops?

Answer 1

I recently had the same issue and solved it using Kotlin's extension functions like this:

fun ViewGroup.getAllChildren(): List {
    val children = ArrayList()
    for (i in 0 until this.childCount) {
        children.add(this.getChildAt(i))
    }
    return children
}
