I want to get the view or findViewById() from Context?
Or from intent?
I'm trying to reach a specific view in my broadcast receiver and the parameter of onReceive are context and intent.
Well, I have a class and within it is my broadcast receiver. Now, I'm trying to separate the broadcast receiver from it, but I need a way so I can still communicate with the views on my class from my separated broadcast receiver class.
Thanks.
For example you can find any textView:
TextView textView = (TextView) ((Activity) context).findViewById(R.id.textView1);
Starting with a context, the root view of the associated activity can be had by
View rootView = ((Activity)_context).Window.DecorView.FindViewById(Android.Resource.Id.Content);
In Raw Android it'd look something like:
View rootView = ((Activity)mContext).getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content)
Then simply call the findViewById on this
View v = rootView.findViewById(R.id.your_view_id);
In your broadcast receiver you could access a view via inflation a root layout from XML resource and then find all your views from this root layout with findViewByid():
View view = View.inflate(context, R.layout.ROOT_LAYOUT, null);
Now you can access your views via 'view' and cast them to your view type:
myImage = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.my_image);
first use this:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) Read_file.this
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
Read file is current activity in which you want your context.
View layout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_layout_name,(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.layout_name_id));
then you can use this to find any element in layout.
ImageView myImage = (ImageView) layout.findViewById(R.id.my_image);
Why don't you just use a singleton?
import android.content.Context;
public class ClassicSingleton {
private Context c=null;
private static ClassicSingleton instance = null;
protected ClassicSingleton()
{
// Exists only to defeat instantiation.
}
public void setContext(Context ctx)
{
c=ctx;
}
public Context getContext()
{
return c;
}
public static ClassicSingleton getInstance()
{
if(instance == null) {
instance = new ClassicSingleton();
}
return instance;
}
}
Then in the activity class:
private ClassicSingleton cs = ClassicSingleton.getInstance();
And in the non activity class:
ClassicSingleton cs= ClassicSingleton.getInstance();
Context c=cs.getContext();
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) ((Activity)c).findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
