How to set an exact path inside findViewById()

Question

If I use findViewById like this(first code) then I can't use same id(usernameid) in different layout:

username = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.usernameid);

Is there any way to use like this (second code)? :

username = (EditText) findViewById(R.layout.activity-signup.id.usernameid);

As a matter of fact you can use same ID in different layouts .. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12333624/can-i-use-the-same-id-in-different-layout-in-android. — ADM, Mar 27 '19 at 04:01

In Android you cant assign an View to layout with defined ID liked this

username = (EditText) findViewById(R.layout.activity-signup.id.usernameid);

the only way is passing EditText to EditText Id.
