like this:
/**
* @return "[package]:id/[xml-id]"
* where [package] is your package and [xml-id] is id of view
* or "no-id" if there is no id
*/
public static String getId(View view) {
if (view.getId() == View.NO_ID) return "no-id";
else return view.getResources().getResourceName(view.getId());
}
I use this in view constructors to make more meaningful TAGs
