android - How to get view from context?

For example you can find any textView:

TextView textView = (TextView) ((Activity) context).findViewById(R.id.textView1);

Starting with a context, the root view of the associated activity can be had by

View rootView = ((Activity)_context).Window.DecorView.FindViewById(Android.Resource.Id.Content);

In Raw Android it'd look something like:

View rootView = ((Activity)mContext).getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content)

Then simply call the findViewById on this

View v = rootView.findViewById(R.id.your_view_id);

In your broadcast receiver you could access a view via inflation a root layout from XML resource and then find all your views from this root layout with findViewByid():

View view = View.inflate(context, R.layout.ROOT_LAYOUT, null);

Now you can access your views via 'view' and cast them to your view type:

myImage = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.my_image);
