Android: View.inflate not showing the second layout on screen -

two layout files:

activity_maps.xml

<framelayout     android:id="@+id/fragment_container"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:orientation="vertical"     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">      <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"     xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"     android:id="@+id/map"     android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.supportmapfragment"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     tools:context="com.example.jawadh.startthreeproject.mapsactivity" />     <fragment         xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"         android:id="@+id/place_autocomplete_fragment"         android:layout_width="match_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:name="com.google.android.gms.location.places.ui.placeautocompletefragment"         /> </framelayout >  

second.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <framelayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/view_container"     android:layout_height="50dip"     android:layout_width="50dip"     >      <button         android:id="@+id/button"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" />      <textview         android:id="@+id/textviewsource"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />      <textview         android:id="@+id/textviewdest"         android:layout_width="wrap_content"         android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  </framelayout> 

in activity, once mapsactivity gets loaded , working fine. want load view of second.xml on exisiting view. so, trying this:

 final framelayout framelayout = (framelayout)view.inflate(getapplicationcontext(),r.layout.second,null);          final button button = (button)framelayout.findviewbyid(r.id.button);;         button.setbackgroundcolor((color.gray));         button.settext("direction");         button.sety(300);         button.setx(300);          textview textviewsource = (textview)framelayout.findviewbyid(r.id.textviewsource);         textviewsource.settext(place.getaddress().tostring());         textviewsource.settextcolor(color.black);         textviewsource.setbackgroundcolor(color.white);          framelayout.setbackgroundcolor(color.blue); 

expectation: last part of code should put te second.xml view(framelayout) on exisiting view.

warning: not use application context inflating views!

you created second layout here:

final framelayout framelayout = (framelayout)view.inflate(this, r.layout.second,null); 

now have attach view hierarchy. fragment container sounds nice enough:

framelayout container = (framelayout) findviewbyid(r.id.fragment_container); framelayout.layoutparams lp = new framelayout.layoutparams(viewgroup.layoutparams.match_parent, viewgroup.layoutparams.match_parent); container.addview(framelayout, lp); 

edit

alternatively inflate , attach new view in 1 go so:

framelayout container = (framelayout) findviewbyid(r.id.fragment_container); final framelayout framelayout = (framelayout)view.inflate(this, r.layout.second, container); 

...because framelayout provide these layoutparams default:

/**  * returns set of layout parameters width of  * {@link android.view.viewgroup.layoutparams#match_parent},  * , height of {@link android.view.viewgroup.layoutparams#match_parent}.  */ @override protected layoutparams generatedefaultlayoutparams() {     return new layoutparams(layoutparams.match_parent, layoutparams.match_parent); }
