How to inflate layout not from R.layout?

Question

Can I send layout to the app or open layout file in android application and inflate it, like it was builded with the application?

Answer 1

thats not possible according to DOC

For performance reasons, view inflation relies heavily on pre-processing of XML files that is done at build time. Therefore, it is not currently possible to use LayoutInflater with an XmlPullParser over a plain XML file at runtime; it only works with an XmlPullParser returned from a compiled resource (R.something file.)
