How to clone a TextView?

Question

Say I have a textview that I got from xml.

final View popupView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.popup, null);  

final TextView tvPop = (TextView)popupView.findViewById(R.id.tvKeyPop);

But I want to have multiple tvPop 's, how should I clone them?

Thanks.

you can do this:

TextView cloned = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
cloned.setText(tvPop.getText());
cloned.setLayoutParams(tvPop.getLayoutParams());
...
cloned.setWhateverFieldYouNeedToBeCloned(tvPop().getWhateverFieldYouNeedToBeCloned());

Hope that helps.

Really old thread, but just to edit. You should pass an Activity Context rather than application context to prevent leaks. – hadez30 Jan 09 '17 at 14:17
