What I am trying to do is relate each child view with the viewgroup...in the code to create the child view, a new view group is created with it's elements. Are these automatically associated? I want to be able to change the number in the EditText either by the buttons, or entering the number.
Edit - this is Android/Java.
If the view is in a viewgroup, you can use getParent:
ViewGroup containter = (ViewGroup)myButton.getParent();
I think you want something like:
ViewGroup group1,group2;
onClick(View v) {
if (v.getParent() == group1)
;
else if (v.getParent() == group2)
;
}
