Can i have 2 different views with same id in android

Question

Is it right to have same Id for a TextView and a ImageView ? Since they belong to one entity I gave both of them same Id. If yes.. then how can I find these views by id separate

Answer 1

You theoretically can but it's highly advised not to. Duplicate IDs within same layout since it will prevent finding view by ID (You will need to iterate over children or otherwise reference them), and cause collision/outright crash when those views will attempt to store/restore their savedInstanceState.
