Question

I am trying to re-use an already created layout xml file in another xml file by means of

My current XML file is as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <include
        android:id="@+id/insertTask"
        layout="@layout/activity_edit_screen">

    </include>

</RelativeLayout>

The layout file activity_edit_screen has a button named "Update", I want to change that button to "Add". That is the only change between the two xml files. How can I achevie this? I am trying to re-use one xml in another. Please provide suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try to rename the button in code behind.

Button button=(Button)findViewByID(R.id.button1);
            button.setText("Add");

Answer 2

Try to rename the button text in onCreate() after initializing view.

Button sample_btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.sample_btn);
sample_btn.setText("Add")
