Activity的setContentView与findViewById

1. Activity.setContentView(int layoutResID)

 

Set the activity content from a layout resource. The resource will be inflated, adding all top-level views to the activity.

 

2. Activity.findViewById(int id)

 

Finds a view that was identified by the id attribute from the XML that was processed in onCreate.

 

Activity在onCreate方法中，通过setContentView实例化layout描述的控件。之后，通过findViewById获取控件实例。所以，findViewById只是通过resId找到setContentView实例化的控件并返回View的引用，而非创建View后再返回其引用。因此，同一个activity实例，多次调用findViewById获取到的某个resId的View实例是同一个的。
