在实际开发种LayoutInflater这个类还是非常有用的,它的作用类似于findViewById(),不同点是LayoutInflater是用来找layout下xml布局文件,并且实例化!而findViewById()是找具体xml下的具体widget控件(如:Button,TextView等)。
一般来讲,我们用LayoutInflater做一件事:inflate。inflate这个方法总共有 四种形式,目的都是把xml表述的layout转化为View。 This class is used to instantiate layout XML file into its corresponding View objects . It is never be used directly -- use getLayoutInflater() or getSystemService(String)getLayoutInflater() or getSystemService(String) to retrieve a standard LayoutInflater instance that is already hooked up to the current context and correctly configured for the device you are running on
1. Context.public abstract Object getSystemService (String name):Return the handle to a system-level service by name. The class of the returned object varies by the requested name. 具体参见文档。
2. 2种获得LayoutInflater的方法
(1)通过SystemService获得
LayoutInflater inflater=(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
(2)从给定的context中获取
(3)二者区别:实质是一样的,请看源码
- public static LayoutInflater from(Context context) {
- LayoutInflater LayoutInflater =
- (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
- if (LayoutInflater == null) {
- throw new AssertionError("LayoutInflater not found.");
- }
- return LayoutInflater;
- }
public static LayoutInflater from(Context context) {
LayoutInflater LayoutInflater =
(LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
if (LayoutInflater == null) {
throw new AssertionError("LayoutInflater not found.");
}
return LayoutInflater;
}
3. LayoutInflater.inflate()
将Layout文件转换为View,顾名思义,专门供Layout使用的Inflater。Layout也是View的子类,Xml代码
- <ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
- android:orientation="vertical"
- android:layout_width="fill_parent"
- android:layout_height="wrap_content">
- <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/placeslist_linearlayout"
- android:layout_width="fill_parent"
- android:layout_height="wrap_content"
- android:orientation="vertical">
- </LinearLayout>
- </ScrollView>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/placeslist_linearlayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"> </LinearLayout> </ScrollView>
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.placeslist_linearlayout);
linearLayout.addView(place_type_text);
这是可运行的,这上面的xml中,LinearLayout不再是Layout的代表,而只是一个普通的View。
4. findViewById有2中形式
R.layout.xx 是引用res/layout/xx.xml的布局文件(inflate方法),R.id.xx是引用布局文件里面的组件,组件的id是xx...(findViewById方法)。看看R.java配置文件吧,R对文件分类管理,多写几个layout.xml后你会发现,所有的组件id都能用R.id.xx来查看,但是组件不在setContentView()里面的layout中就无法使用,Activity.findViewById()会出现空指针异常 。
(1)Activity中的findViewById()
(2)View中的findViewById()
