Er... if you have an ArrayList that you are putting one item in, why not just have a pointer? Much less overhead.
Also you can assign your own id and still use findViewById(). And keep in mind that AbsoluteLayout is being deprecated in Cupcake, and we strongly discourage its use since it is very likely you won't be dealing with the screen being resized. Generally the best solution would be to just implement your own layout manager that does your desired layout, as needed, and can also keep track of interesting views it has in it.
