Dynamically adding a textView into a LinearLayout:
layout XML:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/main_layout"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</LinearLayout>
Java code:
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
TextView textView = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
textView.setText("Hello World");
linearLayout.addView(textView);
The textView did not show up. miss anything? Thanks.
UPDATE
Thanks for the answers. it works even without the layoutParams.
The issue is that the LinearLayout is in the middle of a UI view tree, and the following is needed:
app:layout_behavior="#string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior"
tools:context="mypackage.MainActivity"
tools:showIn="#layout/app_bar_main
for a Navigation Drawer activity.
add layoutParams.
try this
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView textView = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
textView.setLayoutParams(params);
textView.setText("Hello World");
linearLayout.addView(textView);
you have to add a 1LinearLayout.LayoutParamsto theTextView`

Here is what I have:
LinearLayout horizontalLL = new LinearLayout(thisActivity);
horizontalLL.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
horizontalLL.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams(LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1));
TextView captionTV = new TextView(thisActivity);
captionTV.setText(element.description);
captionTV.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams(LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
editText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams(LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayoutCompat.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,0.6f));
horizontalLL.addView(captionTV);
horizontalLL.addView(editText);
LL.addView(horizontalLL);
but the result is bad: the editText is still very short and does not fill the horizontal linear layout. I've tried to set the weight for captionTV too, but still no result.
Please do the change as below
editText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,0.6f));
You can use LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT or LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT instead of 0 here.
If possible replace all LinearLayoutCompat to LinearLayout.
Try the following code, if you want that your EditText automatically cover the remaining space:
LinearLayout horizontalLL = new LinearLayout(this);
horizontalLL.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
horizontalLL.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
TextView captionTV = new TextView(this);
captionTV.setText("element.description");
captionTV.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
editText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT , 1));
horizontalLL.addView(captionTV);
horizontalLL.addView(editText);
LL.addView(horizontalLL);
You need to use below code :
LinearLayout ll1 = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ll1);
android.widget.LinearLayout horizontalLL = new android.widget.LinearLayout(this);
horizontalLL.setOrientation(android.widget.LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
horizontalLL.setLayoutParams(new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 150,1f));
TextView captionTV = new TextView(this);
captionTV.setText("Hello textview ");
captionTV.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
captionTV.setLayoutParams(new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,0.4f));
horizontalLL.addView(captionTV);
EditText editText = new EditText(this);
editText.setText("Hello edittext ");
editText.setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
editText.setLayoutParams(new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,0.6f));
horizontalLL.addView(editText);
ll1.addView(horizontalLL);
because in XML weight define like below:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="1.0">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.40"
android:text="test"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.60"
android:text="test"/>
</LinearLayout>
I followed this piece of code written by Aby in another question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22682248/5915747
The beginning of my text is being cut off on the left side of my screen. I'm missing quite a bit of info and not sure how to fix it, I have tried everything that worked for others but it has not worked for me.

}
}
The longer the strings are for the text views, the more it crops off, however it's a horizontal scrollview, so it should just start at the beginning of the screen and add length to the end, which is scrollable, right?
This is what it ends up looking like with the current strings in vertical/portrait orientation:
Vertical View
This is what it looks like in horizontal, it seems to fix since my screen is large enough for the data:
Horizontal View
If you have any questions, please ask!
Solved this by adding padding to the scrollview. It seems this is a common android bug.
I don't know will it work or not but try removing
android:layout_gravity="center"
line from Relative Layout
I want to implement an imageview and a textview side by side. I achieved this by using XML. However i wanted to achieve this programmatically but had no luck so far. My XML and Java code are below. Please help me to execute programmatically.
I'm executing the Java code in a fragment.
XML CODE:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<com.loopj.android.image.SmartImageView
android:id="#+id/my_image1"
android:layout_width="160dip"
android:layout_height="100dip"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/my_image1"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/my_image1"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/my_image1"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
JAVA CODE:
RelativeLayout rl1 = new RelativeLayout(getActivity());
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlParams;
rlParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
newLayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
rlParams.addRule(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
rl1.setLayoutParams(rlParams);
SmartImageView siv1 = new SmartImageView(getActivity());
siv1.setId(rand.nextInt(50000) + 1);
siv1.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(width,height));
siv1.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
siv1.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
siv1.setImageUrl(Uri);
TextView tv1 = new TextView(getActivity());
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeLayoutParams;
relativeLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
tv1.setLayoutParams(relativeLayoutParams);
relativeLayoutParams.setMargins(10, 0, 0, 0);
tv1.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
tv1.setText("Sample Text");
rl1.addView(siv1);
rl1.addView(tv1);
ll.addView(rl1);
By executing the above code, i'm getting the image but the text is inside the image. But, i want to get the image on the left and the text on the right.
Thanks in advance
Add below code to your Activity:
rlParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_TOP, siv1);
rlParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, siv1);
rlParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, siv1);
tv1.setLayoutParams(rlParams);
and then do:
rl1.addView(siv1);
rl1.addView(tv1);
Hope this helps.
In your case it is better to use a horizontal LinearLayout:
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(getActivity());
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll.setLayoutParams(param);
TextView textview = new TextView(getActivity());
...
SmartImageView siv1 = new SmartImageView(getActivity());
...
ll.addView(textview);
ll.addView(siv1);
To align the views in RelativeLayout is much difficult. I will suggest you to use the TableRows or LinearLayouts. Both these give much easier way to align views side by side. Here is a source in which one TextView is aligned-left with 4 ImageViews aligned on its right. You can get idea from this
TextView taking/consuming too much space above and below the text
You can set the margin of your text like this
relativeLayoutParams.setMargins(200, 0, 0, 0);
but this is not the best practice so do one thing take linear layout set orientation to horizontal add both imageview and textview to it and then add this linearlayout to your relative layout.
Hope this helps.
I have a RelativeLayout defined in main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</RelativeLayout>
And add a TextView and EditText programatically in onCreate:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
setContentView(R.layout.main);
addContentView(customGlView, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
addContentView(myTextView, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
addContentView(myEditText, new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
They both show up, but are overlapping in the top left corner. I've spend hours to figure out how to either position them just below each other, or one in the left corner of the screen and the other in the right corner. If I add them through the main.xml neither of them will show up. Can anyone give me a hint to the right direction?
For a RelativeLayout, you need to specify the relative positions of your elements, using the LayoutParams:
myTextView.setId(1);
myEditText.setId(2);
addContentView(myTextView, new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
final RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, myTextView.getId());
addContentView(myEditText, params);
Add a rule to your LayoutParams which will set one textview below the other..
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params1 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
tv1.setId(1);
tv1.setText("myTextView");
params1.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, tv1.getId());
TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
I couldn't solve this with RelativeLayout, but using LinearLayout does exactly what you want to do.
addView(myEditText);
Or you can use this method to add them to any position you want. For example, you can first add myEditText and then add myTextView above myEditText:
addView(myEditText);
addView(myTextView, 0);
I can't quite get this to work, hoping to get some hints, it seems like from my research the code should work, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...
I have an existing layout.xml file that includes:
<RelativeLayout style="#style/bodyLayout">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollBody"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="false"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/scrollLinearLayout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
Then I have programatic code as follows:
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.scrollLinearLayout);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setId(1);
tv.setTextSize(R.dimen.text_size_medium);
tv.setText("test");
tv.setLayoutParams(lp);
ll.addView(tv);
The new TextView doesn't appear when the activity is displayed, I know I a missing something obvious... the new TextView should appear in the LinearLayout section...
I have run your code works fine
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.subLinear);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setId(1);
tv.setTextSize(15);
tv.setText("test adding");
tv.setLayoutParams(lp);
ll.addView(tv);
if you add new View(anything) from any button click event then add this line
ll.invalidate();
it will refresh it your component
