Android: Inflating a specific section of an xml file
<p>I wish to inflate the code below (taken from list_item_icon_text.xml of the android api demos).</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;

&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"&gt;

    &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/icon"
        android:layout_width="48dip"
        android:layout_height="48dip" /&gt;

    &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
        android:layout_width="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1.0"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" /&gt;

&lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Unfortunately, in the demo, the inflation was done using </p>

<pre><code>convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_icon_text, null);
</code></pre>

<p>in list14.java.</p>

<p>I would like to include the above code in <strong>my own xml file and only inflate this LinearLayout</strong>, but I have been searching online and trying to do this for hours. I'm really frustrated at this point. I managed to inflate the whole xml file, which is not what I wanted. I only want to inflate this particular section (having added it to my xml file). Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>
