Android: View.setID(int id) programmatically - how to avoid ID conflicts?

Question

I\'m adding TextViews programmatically in a for-loop and add them to an ArrayList.

How do I use TextView.setId(int id)? What Integer ID do I come up wit

Answer 1

You can set ID's you'll use later in R.id class using an xml resource file, and let Android SDK give them unique values during compile time.

 res/values/ids.xml

To use it in the code:

myEditTextView.setId(R.id.my_edit_text_1);
