I am not getting to how to know to which layout it is point because instead of giving the full name like r.layout.activity_main it has given the id in the form of integer.

How to get the location if the integer id is given how to convert it?

  • **"...it has given the id in the form of integer."** : I don't understand what you mean. What *exactly* has given the id as an integer? All resource ids are integers. – Squonk Apr 27 '14 at 08:50

To get the full id like R.id.your_id you have to make two calls:

  • getActivity().getResources().getResourceEntryName(int);
    Which returns the identifier your_id

  • getActivity().getResources().getResourceTypeName(int);
    Which returns the type of the resource like id, string, layout

As a note: Make sure the id with the corresponding value exists! Otherwise you will get a NotFoundException.

  • I did this in a Fragment, that's why I use getActivity(). To use it in your Activity get rid of the getActivity() call. If you wanna call it in a custom class pass a valid context and call: context.getResources()... – Steve Benett Apr 27 '14 at 09:15
