从API 17开始，View类有一个静态方法generateViewId()

生成适合setId(int)的值

只是对@phantomlimb的答案的补充，

而View.generateViewId()要求API级别>= 17， 该工具与所有API兼容。

根据现时的空气污染指数， 它决定天气是否使用系统API。

所以你可以使用ViewIdGenerator.generateViewId()和View.generateViewId() 同样的时间，不用担心得到相同的id

import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger;

import android.annotation.SuppressLint;
import android.os.Build;
import android.view.View;

/**
 * {@link View#generateViewId()}要求API Level >= 17,而本工具类可兼容所有API Level
 * <p>
 * 自动判断当前API Level,并优先调用{@link View#generateViewId()},即使本工具类与{@link View#generateViewId()}
 * 混用,也能保证生成的Id唯一
 * <p>
 * =============
 * <p>
 * while {@link View#generateViewId()} require API Level >= 17, this tool is compatibe with all API.
 * <p>
 * according to current API Level, it decide weather using system API or not.<br>
 * so you can use {@link ViewIdGenerator#generateViewId()} and {@link View#generateViewId()} in the
 * same time and don't worry about getting same id

你也可以在res/values中定义ids.xml。你可以在android的示例代码中看到一个确切的例子。
