    text
    copied!<p>I used to have a simple main.xml layout that had only 2 views flipped via ViewFlipper wrapper. It worked (still works) great, using the following code:</p> <pre><code>setContentView(R.layout.main); mTV1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview01); mTV2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview02); mViewFlipper = (ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.flipper01); </code></pre> <p>I now want to add 2 buttons on top of the original views, in a fashion similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6334526/1088880">this</a>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout02" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/button01" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button 1" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="1"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt; &lt;Button android:id="@+id/button02" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Button 2" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="1"&gt;&lt;/Button&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/relativeLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0dp" android:layout_weight="1"&gt; &lt;ViewFlipper android:id="@+id/flipper01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textview01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Text" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/textview02" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Text2" /&gt; &lt;/ViewFlipper&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>My problem is I intuitively modified the original code to by inserting a findViewById for the composite layout:</p> <pre><code>setContentView(R.layout.main); mCompositeLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearLayout02); mTV1 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview01); mTV2 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview02); mViewFlipper = (ViewFlipper)findViewById(R.id.flipper01); </code></pre> <p>But it displays exactly the same as before! As if I never added extra linearLayout02 containing the buttons.</p> <p>What am I missing? What am I doing wrong?</p>
