Is it possible to set a non-unique name for an android view?

Question

Android

Is it possible for screen elements, such as textView, to be given some name that is not a unique name by which it can be found in the container?

Answer 1

If you are talking about ID, then the ID must be unique within the given root element. For example - activation. It cannot have views with the same ID - otherwise findViewByID will not work. But in two different activities, you can duplicate the ID.

Answer 2

It is possible, but you will have to search from the container where it is unique.
