Make child of scrollview 1/3 size

I have this:
my problem is that i have a Linearlayout wrapper with a scrollview and a Linearlayout inside.. i want every item to be 1/3 of the scrollviews height no matter how many items i put into it..
When i add items to the Linearlayout it is linearlayouts, if i add 3 'items' it is almost fine.. but if i add 8 items, they are all quite small and scrollable. This is what i want, but i want them to have the height of 1/3 of the scrollview/linearlayout.
i want it to align so its as big as the buttons in the 2nd layout i have.
i just cant seems to make it right, hope its just a simple solution i have refused to see.
my code so far:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="75">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/scrollView2"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:scrollbarSize="5dp"
android:fadeScrollbars="false"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#drawable/custom_scroll_style">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/coats"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="75">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
This is my way of adding 'children' to the layout wrapped by the scrollview
LinearLayout w0 = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout w1 = new LinearLayout(this);
ImageView w2 = new ImageView(this);
TextView w3 = new TextView(this);
TextView w4 = new TextView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 25);
params.setMargins(pixelToDp(0),pixelToDp(5),pixelToDp(0),pixelToDp(5));
w0.setLayoutParams(params);
w0.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
w0.setClickable(true);
w0.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(100, 100, 100, 100));
w0.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
for (int i = 0; i < LLCoats.getChildCount(); i++) {
View vv = LLCoats.getChildAt(i);
vv.setSelected(false);
vv.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(100, 100, 100, 100));
}
LinearLayout LL = (LinearLayout)LLCoats.getChildAt(i);
TextView TV = (TextView)LL.getChildAt(1);
TV.requestFocus();
if(TV.getError() != null)
{
Snackbar snackbar = Snackbar
.make(findViewById(android.R.id.content), ""+TV.getError(), Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG);
snackbar.show();
}
v.setSelected(true);
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255,255,255,255));
}
});
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params2 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 2);
w1.setLayoutParams(params2);
w1.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
w1.setClickable(false);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params3 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1);
w2.setLayoutParams(params3);
w2.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params4 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1);
w3.setLayoutParams(params4);
w3.setTextSize(25f);
w3.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
w3.setClickable(false);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params5 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,1);
w4.setLayoutParams(params5);
w4.setTextSize(45f);
w4.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
w4.setClickable(false);
w1.addView(w2);
w1.addView(w3);
w0.addView(w1);
w0.addView(w4);
LLCoats.addView(w0);
UPDATE!:
Now its getting really weird, as i have found a way to calculate the height and add it with:
DisplayMetrics display = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, pixelToDp((int)(display.heightPixels* .8 * 0.25)));
This works really well on my PI64 and a ASUS tablet, but my phone makes the height 100% the same as the scrollview, how is happening??

I made it works like this, getting the screen size *.8 because the screen is used as a popup and then 0.25 as items are 1/4 of the screen and in the end -10 for my margins
DisplayMetrics display = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, (int)(display.heightPixels* .8 * 0.25 - pixelToDp(10)));
params.setMargins(pixelToDp(0),pixelToDp(5),pixelToDp(0),pixelToDp(5));

Issue with layout weight in Android LinearLayout

The way my program works is that I take user input for 3 items, create a horizontal LinearLayout programmatically with those three items. Then place that LinearLayout inside a RelativeLayout that is defined in XML.
User can keep adding these 3-item horizontal LLs to the bottom of the RelativeLayout, which acts as a list in this case.
I am specifying a weight in the setLayoutParams method for each TextView object
TextView quantityText = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
quantityText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
quantityText.setText("" + currentIngredientMeasurementQuantity);
TextView typeText = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
typeText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
typeText.setText(currentIngredientMeasurementType);
TextView nameText = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
nameText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 4f));
nameText.setText(currentIngredientName);
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(MainActivity.this);
ll.setId(View.generateViewId());
RelativeLayout relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.ingredient_list_relativelayout);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//Find last member of RelativeLayout
View lastIngredient = (View) relativeLayout.getChildAt(totalIngredientQuantity - 1);
relativeParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, lastIngredient.getId());
relativeParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
ll.addView(quantityText);
ll.addView(typeText);
ll.addView(nameText);
relativeLayout.addView(ll, relativeParams);
The problem is, the TextViews aren't being displayed the way I'd like them to. I'd like each of the three items to line up vertically, like a proper list.
Instead, I get something like this. You can see that the length of the strings is somehow affecting the way the layout is stored/displayed.
I know it's a big block of code, but any help would be appreciated!

Try this:-
Create a custom layout insteadof creating controls as dynamically
custom.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="90">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="30"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="text1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="30"
android:text="text2"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="30"
android:text="text3"/>
</LinearLayout>
Add this view in RelativeLayout
View view = factory.inflate(R.layout.custom, null);
relativeLayout.addView(view);

You need to set the layout_width property to 0 for layout weight property to work well. I made a couple to changes to your code to make it work well for me.
Try this,
private void addNewRow(float currentIngredientMeasurementQuantity, String currentIngredientMeasurementType, String currentIngredientName) {
TextView quantityText = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
quantityText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
quantityText.setText("" + currentIngredientMeasurementQuantity);
TextView typeText = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
typeText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
typeText.setText(currentIngredientMeasurementType);
TextView nameText = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
nameText.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 4f));
nameText.setText(currentIngredientName);
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(MainActivity.this);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
ll.setId(View.generateViewId());
} else {
ll.setId(totalIngredientQuantity);
}
RelativeLayout relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.ingredient_list_relativelayout);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//Find last member of RelativeLayout
View lastIngredient = (View) relativeLayout.getChildAt(totalIngredientQuantity - 1);
if (lastIngredient != null) {
relativeParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, lastIngredient.getId());
relativeParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
ll.addView(quantityText);
ll.addView(typeText);
ll.addView(nameText);
relativeLayout.addView(ll, relativeParams);
}

You have to set the Gravity to Left (or Start) on your TextViews before adding them to the LinearLayout, just like this:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams name_lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
name_lp.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
nameText.setLayoutParams(name_lp);

Try to tell your your Textviews to use all the available space they can get. So they will fill the whole LinearLayout.
Instead of WRAP_CONTENT use MATCH_PARENT or FILL_PARENT
In XML you could use 0dip like described here: In android layouts what is the effect/meaning of layout_height="0dip"
Another idea would be to use TableLayout or GridLayout http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/GridLayout.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TableLayout.html

Android LinearLayout in ScrollView

I tryning to get a LinearLayout in a ScrollView like this:
The greenspace should be wrap_content and the red one should take the remaining space.
But this is my Result:
This is my Code:
foreach(Ele el : elements) {}
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getActivity());
LayoutParams layout_parm = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
layout.setLayoutParams(layout_parm);
TextView tv = new TextView(getActivity());
tv.setLayoutParams( new LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1) );
tv.setBackgroundColor(getActivity().getResources().getColor((R.color.red)));
tv.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 16);
tv.setText("Name...");
tv.setPadding(0, 0, 0, getDP(5));
layout.addView(tv);
TextView iView = new TextView(getActivity());
iView.setText("OTO");
iView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 16);
iView.setBackgroundColor(getActivity().getResources().getColor((R.color.green)));
iView.setLayoutParams( new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 0) );
layout.addView(iView);
frg_layout.addView(layout);
}
I am so confused! Maybe you can help me to find out my fail...
Thank you!
The Parent-ViewGroup:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/frg_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:gravity="top"
android:orientation="vertical" />

you change the layout orientation
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getActivity());
LayoutParams layout_parm = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
layout.setLayoutParams(layout_parm);
uset this type in xml
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/frg_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TextView1"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview2"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
/>
</linearlayout>

I think you've mostly got it right, just need a few minor tweaks:
for each(Ele el:elements){
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getActivity());
LayoutParams layout_parm = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
layout.setLayoutParams(layout_parm);
TextView tv = new TextView(getActivity());
//adjust the last number here to make the first block wider or larger as you want
tv.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 2));
tv.setBackgroundColor(getActivity().getResources().getColor((R.color.red)));
tv.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 16);
tv.setText("Name...");
tv.setPadding(0, 0, 0, getDP(5));
layout.addView(tv);
TextView iView = new TextView(getActivity());
iView.setText("OTO");
iView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 16);
iView.setBackgroundColor(getActivity().getResources().getColor((R.color.green)));
//adjust your layout param to be a weight instead of wrap_content
iView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1));
layout.addView(iView);
frg_layout.addView(layout);
}
See if that works! An alternative would be to build an xml layout which I think is generally cleaner, but programatically it should work roughly the same way.

Using LayoutInflater with xml will bring the solutuion!
Thank you!

android Layout weight programmatically

i have hard-coded the layout_weight on layout xml.but now i want to give the layout_weight and weightSum from java code.
How we do that from our class?
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="25" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:background="#F51215"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="5" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="20"
android:background="#1AC92B"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:text="20" />
</LinearLayout>

Something like this:
......
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(YOUR_LAYOT_ID);
layout.setWeightSum(25f);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lParams = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) layout.getLayoutParams(); //or create new LayoutParams...
lParams.weight = 0.5f;
.......
someView.setLayoutParams(lParams);
.......

//set as like this below for different view set different float value.
myview.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,5f));

I just wanted to add an example of how to use the weightsum with e.g a TableRow with TextViews inside:
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
TableRow.LayoutParams params1 = new TableRow.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 10f);
row.setLayoutParams(params1);
row.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10);
row.setBackgroundColor(R.color.black);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
TableRow.LayoutParams params2 = new TableRow.LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 6f);
tv.setLayoutParams(params2);
tv.setTextSize(30);
tv.setBackgroundResource(R.color.white);
TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
TableRow.LayoutParams params3 = new TableRow.LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 2f);
tv2.setLayoutParams(params3);
tv2.setBackgroundResource(R.color.green);
TextView tv3 = new TextView(this);
TableRow.LayoutParams params4 = new TableRow.LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 2f);
tv3.setLayoutParams(params4);
tv3.setBackgroundResource(R.color.blue);
Produces the TableRow underneath. The parent whose weightsum is 10, and the children's widths are then equal to 60%, 20% and 20% of the width. The height is here determined by the TextView, tv, which has a height of 30. Hope it helps someone. :-)

If You want to change parent weight programmatically and it's child property as it is then use below
Here's how you set it.
LinearLayout yourLayout=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.container);
yourLayout.setWeightSum(0.6f);

Dynamically Generate TextView with Weight using LinearLayout
LinearLayout lin_hoizontal = new LinearLayout(context);
lin_hoizontal.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
lin_hoizontal.setLayoutParams(new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 10f));
lin_hoizontal.setPadding((int) context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_8), (int) context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_2), (int) context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_8), (int) context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_2));
android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams params_label = new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 2.5f);
TextView txt_label = new TextView(context);
txt_label.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.listing_header_txt_color));//your text color
txt_label.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_13));
txt_label.setTypeface(Typeface.create("sans-serif-medium", Typeface.NORMAL));
txt_label.setLayoutParams(params_label);
txt_label.setPadding(0, 0, (int) context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_2), 0);
txt_label.setText("Label");
android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams params_value = new android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 7.5f);
TextView txt_value = new TextView(context);
txt_value.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.listing_header_txt_color));
txt_value.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_13));
txt_value.setTypeface(Typeface.create("sans-serif-light", Typeface.NORMAL));
txt_value.setLayoutParams(params_value);
txt_value.setPadding((int) context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.d_2), 0, 0, 0);
txt_value.setText("Value");
lin_hoizontal.addView(txt_label);
lin_hoizontal.addView(txt_value);
lin_hoizontal.addView(lin_main);

I like Ajii's answer or:
((LinearLayout)view).setWeightSum(n);
and for individual view weight:
((LinearLayout.LayoutParams)view.getLayoutParams()).weight = n;
of course you can do.. LinearLayout view = findViewById(R.id.view_name);
(and drop the dynamic casting (LinearLayout))
or substitute...……….. findViewById(R.id.view_name) for view above.
These both worked for me.
And if you want value in dimens file:
<item name="new_weight" format="float" type="dimen">(your number)</item>
and: float n = getResources().getFloat(R.dimen.new_weight);
I'm sure you already know most of this but... I was a newbie once and I always appreciated the extra descriptions.

How to add a TextView to a LinearLayout dynamically in Android?

I try to add a TextView to a LinearLayout dynamically such as in the following code, but it doesn't appear when I run the application?
setContentView(R.layout.advanced);
m_vwJokeLayout=(LinearLayout) this.findViewById(R.id.m_vwJokeLayout);
m_vwJokeEditText=(EditText) this.findViewById(R.id.m_vwJokeEditText);
m_vwJokeButton=(Button) this.findViewById(R.id.m_vwJokeButton);
TextView tv=new TextView(this);
tv.setText("test");
this.m_vwJokeLayout.addView(tv);
What's the problem?

LayoutParams lparams = new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
TextView tv=new TextView(this);
tv.setLayoutParams(lparams);
tv.setText("test");
this.m_vwJokeLayout.addView(tv);
You can change lparams according to your needs

Here is a more general answer for future viewers of this question. The layout we will make is below:
Method 1: Add TextView to existing LinearLayout
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dynamic_linearlayout);
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.ll_example);
// Add textview 1
TextView textView1 = new TextView(this);
textView1.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
textView1.setText("programmatically created TextView1");
textView1.setBackgroundColor(0xff66ff66); // hex color 0xAARRGGBB
textView1.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20);// in pixels (left, top, right, bottom)
linearLayout.addView(textView1);
// Add textview 2
TextView textView2 = new TextView(this);
LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;
layoutParams.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10); // (left, top, right, bottom)
textView2.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
textView2.setText("programmatically created TextView2");
textView2.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 18);
textView2.setBackgroundColor(0xffffdbdb); // hex color 0xAARRGGBB
linearLayout.addView(textView2);
}
Note that for LayoutParams you must specify the kind of layout for the import, as in
import android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams;
Otherwise you need to use LinearLayout.LayoutParams in the code.
Here is the xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ll_example"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff99ccff"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
Method 2: Create both LinearLayout and TextView programmatically
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// NOTE: setContentView is below, not here
// Create new LinearLayout
LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
linearLayout.setBackgroundColor(0xff99ccff);
// Add textviews
TextView textView1 = new TextView(this);
textView1.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
textView1.setText("programmatically created TextView1");
textView1.setBackgroundColor(0xff66ff66); // hex color 0xAARRGGBB
textView1.setPadding(20, 20, 20, 20); // in pixels (left, top, right, bottom)
linearLayout.addView(textView1);
TextView textView2 = new TextView(this);
LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;
layoutParams.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10); // (left, top, right, bottom)
textView2.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
textView2.setText("programmatically created TextView2");
textView2.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 18);
textView2.setBackgroundColor(0xffffdbdb); // hex color 0xAARRGGBB
linearLayout.addView(textView2);
// Set context view
setContentView(linearLayout);
}
Method 3: Programmatically add one xml layout to another xml layout
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.dynamic_linearlayout);
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(
Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dynamic_linearlayout_item, null);
FrameLayout container = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.flContainer);
container.addView(view);
}
Here is dynamic_linearlayout.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/flContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</FrameLayout>
And here is the dynamic_linearlayout_item.xml to add:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/ll_example"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff99ccff"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ff66ff66"
android:padding="20px"
android:text="programmatically created TextView1" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffffdbdb"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_margin="10px"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="programmatically created TextView2" />
</LinearLayout>

I customized more #Suragch code. My output looks
I wrote a method to stop code redundancy.
public TextView createATextView(int layout_widh, int layout_height, int align,
String text, int fontSize, int margin, int padding) {
TextView textView_item_name = new TextView(this);
// LayoutParams layoutParams = new LayoutParams(
// LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.LEFT;
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams _params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
layout_widh, layout_height);
_params.setMargins(margin, margin, margin, margin);
_params.addRule(align);
textView_item_name.setLayoutParams(_params);
textView_item_name.setText(text);
textView_item_name.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, fontSize);
textView_item_name.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#000000"));
// textView1.setBackgroundColor(0xff66ff66); // hex color 0xAARRGGBB
textView_item_name.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);
return textView_item_name;
}
It can be called like
createATextView(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT,
subTotal.toString(), 20, 10, 20);
Now you can add this to a RelativeLayout dynamically. LinearLayout is also same, just add a orientation.
RelativeLayout primary_layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
LayoutParams layoutParam = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
primary_layout.setLayoutParams(layoutParam);
// FOR LINEAR LAYOUT SET ORIENTATION
// primary_layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
// FOR BACKGROUND COLOR
primary_layout.setBackgroundColor(0xff99ccff);
primary_layout.addView(createATextView(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.ALIGN_LEFT, list[i],
20, 10, 20));
primary_layout.addView(createATextView(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT,
subTotal.toString(), 20, 10, 20));

TextView rowTextView = (TextView)getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.yourTextView, null);
rowTextView.setText(text);
layout.addView(rowTextView);
This is how I'm using this:
private List<Tag> tags = new ArrayList<>();
if(tags.isEmpty()){
Gson gson = new Gson();
Type listType = new TypeToken<List<Tag>>() {
}.getType();
tags = gson.fromJson(tour.getTagsJSONArray(), listType);
}
if (flowLayout != null) {
if(!tags.isEmpty()) {
Log.e(TAG, "setTags: "+ flowLayout.getChildCount() );
flowLayout.removeAllViews();
for (Tag tag : tags) {
FlowLayout.LayoutParams lparams = new FlowLayout.LayoutParams(FlowLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FlowLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lparams.setMargins(PixelUtil.dpToPx(this, 0), PixelUtil.dpToPx(this, 5), PixelUtil.dpToPx(this, 10), PixelUtil.dpToPx(this, 5));// llp.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
TextView rowTextView = (TextView) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.tag, null);
rowTextView.setText(tag.getLabel());
rowTextView.setLayoutParams(lparams);
flowLayout.addView(rowTextView);

Log.e(TAG, "setTags: after "+ flowLayout.getChildCount() );

And this is my custom TextView named tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="10dp"
android:textAllCaps="true"
fontPath="#string/font_light"
android:background="#drawable/tag_shape"
android:paddingLeft="11dp"
android:paddingTop="6dp"
android:paddingRight="11dp"
android:paddingBottom="6dp">
this is my tag_shape:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#f2f2f2" />
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
</shape>
efect:
In other place I'm adding textviews with language names from dialog with listview:

layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layoutTest"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
class file:
setContentView(R.layout.layout_dynamic);
layoutTest=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layoutTest);
TextView textView = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
textView.setText("testDynamic textView");
layoutTest.addView(textView);

If you are using Linearlayout. its params should be "wrap_content" to add dynamic data in your layout xml. if you use match or fill parent then you cannot see the output.
It Should be like this.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
