How to get a reference to an XML file from FrameLayout

Question

I need to get reference to separate XML file which is FrameLayout but I can't figure out how to do it, this code doesn't work:

FrameLayout desktopFrameLayout = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.desktopsFramelayout);
desktopFrameLayout.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
desktopFrameLayout.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap bitmap = desktopFrameLayout.getDrawingCache();

Use should have to used LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); — Bhavdip Sagar, Mar 05 '13 at 10:57

For that you have to use inflate view.

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); 
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);

FrameLayout item = (FrameLayout ) view.findViewById(R.id.desktopsFramelayout);

Just for the record you can only get system service in or after Activity's `onCreate()` is called. – Aniket Thakur May 02 '15 at 16:18
