how to retrieve the index of linearLa开发者_如何学JAVAyout which has "llIndex" as id. Thanks

Very simple - call the indexOfChild function on the view's parent:

LinearLayout addNoteLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llAddNote);
int index = ((ViewGroup) addNoteLayout.getParent()).indexOfChild(addNoteLayout);

When you create the XML, there is a file yourpackage.generated.R.java that is created with all the ids/drawables/etc in it. So to reference it, import the generated R.java into your class, then do this (assuming you're in an Activity):

setContentView(R.layout.my_content);
LinearLayout addNoteLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.llAddNote);
