Is it recommended to check view for null with every findViewById call?

Question

When inflating an element with findViewById, Android Studio always warns me that my inflated view may return null

View v = inflater.inflate(R.layou         


        

Answer 1

I think you should never do that.

If you do that you are masking a logic error in your program, in case you are passing a wrong id to your findView.

If you are passing a correct id but for any reason inflater returns null that's Android problem (that will never actually happen) and you also should do nothing.

I think this warning does not come from Android Lint.
