I'm trying to inflate a view into a constraint layout. Which isn't a problem from with in the activity. But I also want to be able to call it from another classes method called getViews()... How can I access the constraint layout to inflate the view?

public class chromecastUI_inflater {

    Button btn, btn1, fastforward, rewind, play, pause;

    TextView title, user, discription, date, streamviews, chromeconnection;

    ConstraintLayout constraintLayout1;

    Selector selector = new Selector();

    Context c;



    public chromecastUI_inflater() {

****Edit****

also tried adding the layout via public constructor.
}

    public void getViews(View view) {



        play = view.findViewById(R.id.play);

        pause = view.findViewById(R.id.pause_button);

        fastforward = view.findViewById(R.id.fastforward_button);

        rewind = view.findViewById(R.id.rewind_button);

        btn1 = view.findViewById(R.id.cast_connection_button);

        btn = view.findViewById(R.id.cast_connection_button3);

        chromeconnection = view.findViewById(R.id.tvcast);



        //here is my problem layout

****Edit****
here i've tried adding

view.findViewById



        constraintLayout1 = findViewById(R.id.localplayerview);





        title = view.findViewById(R.id.title_text_view);

        discription = view.findViewById(R.id.discription_text_view);

        date = view.findViewById(R.id.date_text_view);

        streamviews = view.findViewById(R.id.views_text_view);

        user = view.findViewById(R.id.uploadedby_text_view);



        constraintLayout1.addView(view);

    }



    public void inflateViews() {

        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) c.getApplicationContext().getSystemService

                (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

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

        getViews(view);

    }



    public void setUI() {



        title.setText(selector.DOCTITLE);

        discription.setText(selector.ABOUT);

        date.setText(selector.DATE);

        streamviews.setText(selector.VIEWS);

        user.setText(selector.USER);

    }



    public void resetUI() {



        title.setText("");

        discription.setText("");

        date.setText("");

        streamviews.setText("");

        user.setText("");

    }



    public void Chromecast_Connected() {

        chromeconnection.setText("Chromecast is connected");

        btn.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

        btn1.setVisibility(View.GONE);

    }



    public void Chromecast_Disconnected() {

        chromeconnection.setText("Chromecast is connected");

        btn.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        btn1.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

    }

}

This is where I want to call the method from my local_player activity

chromecastUI_inflater chromecastUiInflater = new chromecastUI_inflater();



@Override

public void onChromecastConnecting() {

    Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "onChromecastConnecting");

    chromecastUiInflater.inflateViews();

}



@Override

public void onChromecastConnected(ChromecastYouTubePlayerContext chromecastYouTubePlayerContext) {

    Log.d(getClass().getSimpleName(), "onChromecastConnected");

    chromecastUiInflater.setUI();

    chromecastUiInflater.Chromecast_Connected();

    initializeCastPlayer(chromecastYouTubePlayerContext);

}

Sorry guys, I'm used to inflating the views from inside an activity. Any help please.

so here is how i fixed it. i had to make a view called root view in my inflate view method. then from my activity call the rootview as constraint layout.

 public void inflateViews(View rootview,Context c){

    constraintLayout1 = rootview.findViewById(R.id.localplayerview);

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)c.getSystemService

            (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

     view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout,null);

    getViews(view);



}

then i had to make a getStrings method to fill my textviews from the inflated view

public void getStrings_fromLocalPlayer(String title,String synopsis, String user, String views, String date){

    doctitle = title;

    docsynopsis = synopsis;

    docuser = user;

    docviews = views;

    docdate = date;

}
