I have a TextView inside the same RelativeLayout as a chunk of ImageView derived custom classes. I'd like to be able to write to the TextView from inside these other Views. How do I do this since I am unable to use findViewById due to it not being a child?

That is not a good design. Views should not interact with other random Views. Communication between those should be handled by the Activity, or possibly by making the RelativeLayout be a custom View and having it mediate the communication.

Well the Activity currently has a method for logging into the TextView. Can I call that somehow?

@Zulaxia: I have no idea what "logging into the TextView" means. Your activity should register some sort of listener to the ImageView(s). Your ImageViews should notify that listener when events occur. The activity should take action upon those events, such as updating the TextView.

@CommonsWare : Sorry, that read as complete rubbish. Was on my phone and predictive text butchered it without me noticing.Thanks for the reply, seems obvious now that you mention listeners. Thanks for pointing me back in the right direction.
