Setting an Image to ImageView of Different Layout Using MainActivity

Introduction

Are you encountering issues when trying to display an image in an ImageView from a different layout in your Android application? This is a common challenge when working with dialogs or fragments in Android development. Let’s dive into why this happens and how you can effectively resolve it.

Understanding the Problem

You may be trying to set an image in an ImageView that’s defined in a different layout (like a dialog). Many developers face hurdles when they instantiate their dialog or layout. One common mistake includes not referencing the view correctly or not initializing the ImageView after the dialog is shown.

In the provided example, we can see that while an attempt was made to set an image resource to the ImageView, it didn’t display correctly because the view wasn’t referenced properly from the dialog.

Step-by-Step Solution

Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how to rectify this issue:

Create and Display the Dialog:

Instead of inflating the layout manually and not attaching it to the dialog, we can directly set the layout resource when creating the SwipeDismissDialog.
