I wish to inflate the code below (taken from list_item_icon_text.xml of the android api demos).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="48dip"
        android:layout_height="48dip" />

    <TextView android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:layout_width="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1.0"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

Unfortunately, in the demo, the inflation was done using 

convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_icon_text, null);

in list14.java.

I would like to include the above code in my own xml file and only inflate this LinearLayout, but I have been searching online and trying to do this for hours. I'm really frustrated at this point. I managed to inflate the whole xml file, which is not what I wanted. I only want to inflate this particular section (having added it to my xml file). Any help is greatly appreciated.

You'll just have to save your file in your layout folder, let say 'my_layout.xml` and when inflating you'll use your id :

     inflate(R.layout.my_layout);

Be sure that the right imports are made. I mean importing your R.java file by using :

     import my.packaage.com.R;
