Find view by name

by

you have to find views by identifier when dealing with xml, but you can look up the identifier by using getIdentifier(String name, …) which is useful if you have your layouts numbered for example. Just be aware that such a lookup is relatively expensive.

to complete the answer

int id = getResources().getIdentifier(name, "id", context.getPackageName());
View view = findViewById(id);
