How to add a whole layout withing main layout in android

Question

I've tried following code to add two layouts within main layout but this gives error while setting layout to frame and while adding it into view

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

FrameLayout rootLayout;
FrameLayout frame1,frame2;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    rootLayout=new FrameLayout(getApplicationContext());
    frame1=(FrameLayout)findViewById(R.layout.frame1);
    frame2=(FrameLayout)findViewById(R.layout.frame2);

    LayoutParams param1=new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(180,300);
    LayoutParams param2=new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(180,300);

    param1.gravity=Gravity.LEFT;
    param2.gravity=Gravity.RIGHT;

    param1.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);
    param2.setMargins(30, 0, 0, 30);


    frame1.setLayoutParams(param1);
    frame2.setLayoutParams(param2);

    rootLayout.addView(frame1);
    rootLayout.addView(frame2);

}
}

Post the error/LogCat you are receiving. – takendarkk Jan 11 '14 at 06:16 — takendarkk, Jan 11 '14 at 06:16

You have to remove both frame1 and frame2 Views from their parent View...

and this may help you...

    FrameLayout rootLayout;
    FrameLayout frame1, frame2;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        rootLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
        frame1 = (FrameLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.frame1,null);
        frame2 = (FrameLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.frame2, null);

        FrameLayout.LayoutParams param1 = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(180, 300);
        FrameLayout.LayoutParams param2 = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(180, 300);

        param1.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
        param2.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;

        param1.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);
        param2.setMargins(30, 0, 0, 30);

        frame1.setLayoutParams(param1);
        frame2.setLayoutParams(param2);

        rootLayout.addView(frame1);
        rootLayout.addView(frame2);
        setContentView(rootLayout);
    }

This will not help because frame1 and frame2 are altogether different layout files — Bhupesh, Jan 11 '14 at 06:31
if they are different layouts, how can you call findViewById() in MainActivity? — Gopal Gopi, Jan 11 '14 at 06:35
