Xposed Layout Modification - Accessing Layout2.View from Layout1

Hello,

I am trying to add the sender's and receiver's contact image in WhatsApp conversation activity.
The layout of this activity is divided into several layout xmls.
The sender's image is present in a layout named "conversation_actionbar.xml"
It's content :

Code:

                    LinearLayout textContentLayout = (LinearLayout) liparam.view.findViewById(liparam.res.getIdentifier("text_content_layout", "id", "com.whatsapp"));

                    LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(50, 50);
                    ImageView mAvatar = new ImageView(textContentLayout.getContext());
                    mAvatar.setId(R.id.conversation_text_contact_photo);
                    //The below line has NullPointerException.
                    mAvatar.setImageDrawable(contactAvatar.getDrawable());
                    mAvatar.setLayoutParams(params);
                    textContentLayout.addView(mAvatar, 2);
