ViewFlipper 空指针问题

layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:id="@+id/selectview"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <ViewFlipper
        android:id="@+id/viewflipper"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:src="@drawable/head1"/>
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:src="@drawable/head2"/>
    </ViewFlipper>
</LinearLayout>

代码

View selectview = LayoutInflater.from(mainContext).inflate(R.layout.select_view, null);
ViewFlipper viewflipper = findViewById(R.id.viewflipper);//获取ViewFlipper布局

此时我想要用viewflipper 进行操作的时候报空指针异常
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void android.widget.ViewFlipper.setInAnimation(android.content.Context, int)' on a null object reference

造成这种现象的原因是当前所在contentview不是我ViewFlipper所在的布局，程序找不到我的这个ViewFlipper，所以需要告诉它在哪里找，代码改成如下就可以了

View selectview = LayoutInflater.from(mainContext).inflate(R.layout.select_view, null);
ViewFlipper viewflipper = selectview.findViewById(R.id.viewflipper);
