android getchild view,Android | Get all children elements of a ViewGroup

I've reimplemented this method in a recursive way. Not sure it's faster than MH's, but at least it has no duplicates.

private List getAllViews(View v) {

if (!(v instanceof ViewGroup) || ((ViewGroup) v).getChildCount() == 0) // It's a leaf

{ List r = new ArrayList(); r.add(v); return r; }

else {

List list = new ArrayList(); list.add(v); // If it's an internal node add itself

int children = ((ViewGroup) v).getChildCount();

for (int i=0;i

list.addAll(getAllViews(((ViewGroup) v).getChildAt(i)));

}

return list;

}

}

MH's answer includes the parent view which is being given to the method, so I created this auxiliary method (which is the one to be called).

I mean, if you call this method on a TextView (which has no children), it returns 0 instead of 1.

private List getAllChildren(View v) {

List list = getAllViews(v);

list.remove(v);

return list;

}

TLDR: to count all children copy and paste both methods, call getAllChildren()
