Get Id of Image clicked in a layout

A simple example of handling a click event on an image in a linear layout. You will need three images in your res/drawable folder of the Android app.

The main activity XML that defines the layout structure and the image view(s).

//mainactivity.xml

<

LinearLayout xmlns:"http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/lView1"       
        >   
< ImageView
                    android:id="@+id/imageView1"            
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/re"
            android:tag="0"
            />
<ImageView
                    android:id="@+id/imageView2"            
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:tag="1"           
            />
<ImageView
                    android:id="@+id/imageView3"            
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/m12"
            android:tag="2"
            android:onClick="onClick"           
            />
        </LinearLayout>

and the corresponding .java class. Note that the clickhandler is in code as well as in the xml file.
