How can I define an ID for my EditText field programmatically?

Question

I have an Activity in my App that adds more EditText fields to my view when a button is clicked.

Now I want to create a new ID for every created EditText-Field. Then I want to use

editText.setId(createdID);

And then I want to add this editText to an ArrayList (thats why I need the ID!)

editTextList.add((EditText) findViewById(createdID));

Any ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

You can set it with TextView.setId(int id) . Try to see this question for more details. Android: View.setID(int id) programmatically - how to avoid ID conflicts?

Answer 2

Rather confusing idea. But if you really need - you can set tags to yours EditTexts
