@+id/ means "create the following id" whereas @id/ means "reference the following id." So when you write android:id="@+id/myid" you just created, and assigned, the id "myid" to the widgets. Like strings are generated in R.strings, ids are generated in R.id. So in your code you would do findViewById(R.id.myid).
