How to get origianl text id from View programatically in android?

Question

In Android there is this method to get the id of a view:

int id = view.getId();

But this returns a dynamically generated integer value that has been assigned to the view at runtime.

I need to access the original string id. For example, for the following view, I want to get @+id/likesCount:

<TextView
  android:id="@+id/likesCount"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

How can I get that?

The most happy duplicate of my entire lifetime. I never knew that I had to search for resources. I was searching for string id in android and I could get no results. Thank you. — mohammad rostami siahgeli, Jul 16 '18 at 05:22

You can not, the right approach to do it is using tag. You can give that id in tag and programmatically get it.

String id = view.getTag().toString()

Sir what about `getResources().getResourceEntryName( resid);` – AskNilesh Jul 16 '18 at 05:32
