How to inflate FrameLayout?

Question

I have linear Layout and I want to inflate FrameLayout into it. Do you know, how it can be done? Is it possible? I am still getting errors of No Suitable Method Found For Inflate

Thanks

Edit: answering myself:

LinearLayout ll=(LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear);
final LayoutInflater  inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
FrameLayout frml = (FrameLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.frame,null);
frml.setId(10101010);
frml.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

ll.addView(frml);

Solution

To get the LayoutInflater instance you need to get it as a service like this

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

Then you can use it to inflate the FrameLayout and add it to the LinearLayout like this

LinearLayout linearLayout = ... ;
inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_framelayout_file_name, linearLayout, false);

And don't forget to put the layout width and height for your FrameLayout like this

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    .
    .
    .
</FrameLayout>

Post some code of what you've tried so far.

LayoutInflater.fromContext(context) -> what does it exactly do? If I pass this, it shows error

LayoutInflater.fromContext is more or less the same as getting a LayoutInflater instance from the service manager. I prefer this, since it makes more sense (LayoutInflater is not a service), and it doesn't contain a typecast. What error does it give you?

@Pal Szasz: I think you mean LayoutInflater.from(context);
