Android Question Load xml layout in Inline Java Code

[lorebarita]

Hi I do not know if my question is valid but is it possible to load a layout in the inline java code

something like this

setContentView(R.layout.activity_login);

It is possible, but I suggest you dont do it unless you have a VERY GOOD reason to do it.

Thats cool but what is the danger? If you have a simple example show me I just experiment a little. Just for knowledge in that case

The danger is that you will be sucked into copy/paste programming without understanding it. For e.g. do you know what setContentView does, and when you can call it?

btw, I dont even think there is a lot you need to do to run that code. R class will be generated by B4A with any AdditionalRes. If you import it, you just need a method to call that function.

You can use XmlLayoutBuilder library to load XML layouts. Though in most cases it is better to use B4A visual designer when you develop with B4A.
