Solution 1

Use a ViewStub instead of include:

<ViewStub
    android:id="@+id/layout_stub"
    android:inflatedId="@+id/message_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="0.75" />

Then in code, get a reference to the stub, set its layout resource, and inflate it:

ViewStub stub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.layout_stub);
stub.setLayoutResource(R.layout.whatever_layout_you_want);
View inflated = stub.inflate();

Solution 2

ViewStub stub = (ViewStub) findViewById(R.id.text_post);
        stub.setLayoutResource(R.layout.profile_header);
        View inflated = stub.inflate();

Solution 3

In Mono.Droid / Xamarin this worked for me:

ViewStub stub = FindViewById<ViewStub>(Resource.Id.layout_stub);
stub.LayoutResource = Resource.Layout.whatever_layout_you_want;
stub.Inflate();

I'm looking for a way to include a layout programmatically instead of using the XML tag include like in my example:
```
  <include layout="@layout/message"  
           android:layout_width="match_parent" 
           android:layout_height="match_parent" 
           android:layout_weight="0.75"/>
```
Need to change this parameter "layout="@layout/message" programmatically, please.

Any idea how to do this?

No need to keep the inflated view in a separate variable, the layout is added to the original one so the components can de retrieved using findViewById as usual, so just call stub.inflate();

Unless you immediately want to do something with the inflated result.

@kcoppock i got The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first error, can you help me?

@UmangKothari inflated.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); & inflated.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE); works fine for me...
