As far as I can see the entity_id field is not available as a view field. I would like to use the host entity as a filter for my listing of field collection items.

I have a bit of experience in writing the views integration mapping stuff, so I guess it could be fairly easy to provide views integration for the entity_id field as well. Can someone give a hint, how exactly this could be done?

Thanks,
Walter

Did You try the EVA (http://drupal.org/project/eva)? I mean EVA holds only Collected fields and is attached to the host entity as a bundle.

You can include the field_collection ID as an excluded field and then use Views PHP to print a PHP field with something like this:

<?php
$entity = entity_load('field_collection_item', $row->field_collection_item_id);
$host_entity = $entity->hostEntity();
?>

Now $host_entity is your node or whatever the field_collection is attached to. Thus $host_entity->nid would be your node id.

This is working for me

$field_collection_item = entity_load('field_collection_item', array($row->field_collection_item_id));
$host_entity = $field_collection_item[$row->field_collection_item_id]->hostEntity();
