  • Why do you want to replace a `textView`? Please elaborate. – tahsinRupam Jul 11 '18 at 12:15
  • why do you want to replace the TextView? Why not replace the text or any of its properties instead? – Udit Jul 11 '18 at 12:15

You don't need replace it, just get the particular properties from textView (from Java) and set them on text_view (from XML).

For example:

text_view.setText(textView.getText().toString())
text_view.setColor(textView.getColor())
...
text_view.setAnything(textView.getAnything())

Maybe it helpfull to you

I didn't get why you would do this, but anyhow will layout the steps:

  1. get reference to the TextView containing ViewGroup
  2. call removeView with TextView Reference.

  3. call addView with new TextView.

    TextView old = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.old_text_view) LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container) TextView new = new TextView()

    layout.removeView(old); layout.addView(new, position);
