Answer 1

I got simple option.

suppose you add

View v;//any view

linearlayout.addview(v);//add in layout

While u want to modify view.

simpaly remove old view.

linearlayout.removeView(v);

add new update view object

v-updated new view

linearlayout.addview(v);

Answer 2

I see following options:

• Declare some id's in resources in form of <item type="id">first</item> and assign them to views in adding to layout, after that use normal findViewById() mechanism
• Assign some tags to views you're adding to a layout via setTag method and after that use findViewWithTag mechanism
• Remeber position of your views and use them vie getChildAt method

Answer 3

You can do it just like that

ViewGroup parent;
    int position;

    for(int i = 0; i < parent.getChildCount(); ++i) {
        int currentViewId = parent.getChildAt(i).getId();

        if(currentViewId == wantendViewId) {
            position = i;
        }
    }

That's (in my opinion) the simplest way

Answer 4

If you always know the number of TextViews in your LinearLayout, you can just use the function getChildAt( int position ). This returns a View which you can then cast to a TextView to be able to perform the desired operations.

If you do not know the number of elements you could set the id of each TextView (in order to be able to identify a particular one) and then run through them like this:

for( View view : myLinearLayout )
  if( view instanceof TextView && view.getId().equals( idToSearchFor ) )
    //Do what needs to be done.
