# LayoutInflaterCompat

| This package is part of the Android[support library](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library)which is no longer maintained. The support library has been superseded by[AndroidX](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx)which is part of[Jetpack](https://developer.android.com/jetpack). We recommend using the AndroidX libraries in all new projects. You should also consider[migrating](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate)existing projects to AndroidX. To find the AndroidX class that maps to this deprecated class, see the AndroidX support library[class mappings](https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate/class-mappings).

## Public methods

### getFactory

added in[version 24.1.0](https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/support-library/revisions)  

```
LayoutInflaterFactory getFactory (LayoutInflater inflater)
```

<br />

**This method was deprecated in API level 26.1.0.**   
Use[setFactory2(LayoutInflater, LayoutInflater.Factory2)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/LayoutInflaterCompat#setFactory2(android.view.LayoutInflater, android.view.LayoutInflater.Factory2))to set and[getFactory2()](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html#getFactory2())to get the factory.

Return the current[LayoutInflaterFactory](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v4/view/LayoutInflaterFactory)(or null). This is called on each element name. If the factory returns a View, add that to the hierarchy. If it returns null, proceed to call onCreateView(name).
