Re: [android-developers] Children of LinearLayout can't have @+id/something

If we inflate from the same layout, all child elements within that layout will have the same ids by definition.  If framework does not allow adding children inflated from the same file to a LinearLayout I would consider it as a not very good framework :(    Even if the framework does its own caching under the hood and applies the saved state to the view that is CREATED FROM SCRATCH after the orientation change, how can we explain that everything works and the values are applied properly when we remove ID attribute?  How would the framework find where to assign the correct values to?  It does not make sense.  

Anyway, I'll move back ListView/Adapter and figure out how to do the animation myself. The animation sample given at the training section is half baked, it does not preserve the state on rotation.  If we modify the sample then it will work as expected.  But the reason it works as expected is because views use @android:id/text1, which is a pre-defined ID.  But if we replace that ID with @+id/text1, even the sample from the training section stops working.  There is too much flaky stuff there from my perspective.  

Thanks everyone a lot for your time!
