Create buttons in sequential order programmatically

I want to parse text, and create for each word - button, but i don't know how to arrange them one after the other
String s = "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting";
String[] q = s.split(" ");
for (int i = 0; i < q.length; i++) {
Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setText(q[i]);
RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout1);
layout.addView(myButton, params);
}

See this custom library: FlowLayout
While you're adding views inside FlowLayout, it automatically wraps when there is no space for the next item.

There's not much wrong about your approach, it's only that relative layout as name suggests requires child views to have some parameters to align the views relative to them e.g. above, below etc. As a result you are getting views overlapping each other and hence only the last added view is visible being on top.
Use FlowLayout instead and you'll be fine.

You need to define RelativeLayout parameters as in example below
Heres an example to get you started, fill in the rest as applicable:
TextView tv = new TextView(mContext);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
params.leftMargin = 107
...
mRelativeLayout.addView(tv, params);
The docs for RelativeLayout.LayoutParams and the constructors are

Hope it will help

In the following code, you should change the upper limits of the for, to a variable.
public class MainActivity
extends Activity
implements View.OnClickListener {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TableLayout layout = new TableLayout (this);
layout.setLayoutParams( new TableLayout.LayoutParams(4,5) );
layout.setPadding(1,1,1,1);
for (int f=0; f<=13; f++) {
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
for (int c=0; c<=9; c++) {
Button b = new Button (this);
b.setText(""+f+c);
b.setTextSize(10.0f);
b.setTextColor(Color.rgb( 100, 200, 200));
b.setOnClickListener(this);
tr.addView(b, 30,30);
} // for
layout.addView(tr);
} // for
super.setContentView(layout);
} // ()
public void onClick(View view) {
((Button) view).setText("*");
((Button) view).setEnabled(false);
}
} // class

Setting Some TextView's Text

In my Project , I have 80 TextViews.
I should set their text from 1 to 80 once project runs , and they dont need to be changed in future.
Except TxtViews , I have some other things in my Layout, the TextViews are under ImagesViews. actually I have 80 imagesViews and under them are 80 TextViews. I want to set text of textViews from 1 to 80 dynamically.
I know I can do it in my layout.xml ,
but its really time consuming.
is there any way to do that by code?
for example with a for cycle or something like that?

Create a ViewGroup suitable for your needs in the layout, for example:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
Then you create you TextView instances programatically, and add them to the LinearLayout, like this:
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linear_layout);
for(int i = 0; i < 80; i++) {
TextView textView = new TextView(getContext());
textView.setText("text" + i);
layout.addView(textView);
}
Optionally, you can add tags or whatever to locate them again. Alternatively just iterate over the layouts subviews.

If you know that 80 Textview fixed then you should take listview for that.
Listview Benefit
Memory management automatically
Listview manage indexing

If they share the same layout, except for the text, and could be displayed as a list, you could use an ArrayAdapter and pass the values from code.
http://www.mkyong.com/android/android-listview-example/

Checkout the below example,
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
LinearLayout linearLayout ;
ScrollView scrollView;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
scrollView = (HorizontalScrollView) findViewById(R.id.scrollViewActivityMain);
}
private void populateTextViews() {
linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
//add all textViews here
for(int i=0; i < 80; i++){
TextView myTextView = new TextView(this);
myTextView.setText("My TextView "+i);
myTextView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
linearLayout.addView(myTextView);
}
scrollView.addView(linearLayout);
}
}
Don't forget to put that scrollView in your xml.
Let me know if it works for you...

If your TextViews are declared on the xml, wrap them on another view so you can reference it on the java code later, then simply use a for.
Something like:
View view = findViewById(R.id.your_wrapper);
for(int i=0; i<((ViewGroup)view).getChildCount(); i++) {
View nChild = ((ViewGroup)view).getChildAt(i);
TextView tv = (TextView) nChild;
tv.setText(String.valueOf(i + 1));
}
If not, you can simply create them dynamically inside your java code, and append them to a layout like LinearLayout.
Example:
xml
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/linear"
/>
Java code
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear);
for (int i = 1; i <= 80; i++) {
TextView tv = new TextView(this); // Assuming you're inside an Activity.
int count = ll.getChildCount();
tv.setText(String.valueOf(i));
ll.addView(tv, count, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
EDIT: But truly, you should use RecyclerView or ListView for that if your values are not going to change.
You can read more about RecyclerView here, and on ListView here.
Second edit: From what you're saying on your comments, you REALLY should be using ListView instead of your current design. The solutions above and from the other answers won't work at all for your problem.

managing visibility of relativelayout children

I had to implement the expand/collapse(show/hide) a particular view on click of a some other view..Finally got it working but with a small problem.
I have a relative layout with two children: first is the textview and second is a linear layout.
On the click event of the textview i set the visibility(VISIBLE or GONE) of the following linear layout.
Now the problem is that after the linear layout is visible it somehow manages to hide the textview..
I tried textview.bringToFront() but it just makes the textview overlap the first row of the linearlayout ie the textview comes on top of the linear layout content.
I tried putting the textview in a linearlayout, but it makes no difference.
I tried setting the linear layout as BELOW. All in vain..
I know the textview exists because when i click the first row(which is overlapping the textview) the click event gets fired..
All i want is that no matter what my textview should be visible and the linear layout must take its position below the textview if it is visible..
EDIT
RelativeLayout wrapperlayout = new RelativeLayout(getActivity());
//wrapperlayout.setLayoutParams(new android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
//-------------HANDLE---------------------------
TextView txtHeader = new TextView(getActivity());
txtHeader.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

rowcnt++;
}
lContent.setVisibility(View.GONE);
wrapperlayout.addView(txtHeader);
wrapperlayout.addView(lContent);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rPARAMS = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//rPARAMS.addRule(RelativeLayout.ABOVE, txtHeader.getId());
//rPARAMS.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, lContent.getId());
wrapperlayout.setLayoutParams(rPARAMS);

well you can store your LinearLayout as an instance variable, and simply call layout.setvisibility(View.GONE); in your onClick method. Doubt theres any other solution unless you want to save the parent(the layout that both of your views are attached to) and perform findViewById inside onClick or call getChildAt(1) orso

Got a solution.. i tried setting margins..and it all worked out well.. te handle and content both are visible without hiding any other views..

Dynamically Add A TextView - Android

How can I dynamically add a TextView to this? The commented out code doesn't work.
public class myTextSwitcher extends Activity {
private TextView myText;
public myTextSwitcher(String string){
//myText = new TextView(this);
//myText.setText("My Text");
}
}

You're creating a text view and setting its value but you're not specifying where and how it should be displayed. Your myText object needs to have a container of some sort which will make it visible.
What you're trying to do is dynamically layout a view. See here for a good starter article. From the article:
// This is where and how the view is used
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Dynamic layouts ftw!");
ll.addView(tv);
// this part is where the containers get "wired" together
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
sv.addView(ll);

First of all, you shouldn't be adding it in the constructor, non-default constructors are pretty much useless for an Activity. Finally, you are correctly creating a new TextView but you are not adding it anywhere. Get ahold of some layout in your content view (probably with findViewById), and call layout.addView(myText) with it.

Did you add the your text view to the activity using setContentView(myText);
make this
myText = new TextView(this);
myText.setText("foo");
setContentView(myText);

in oncreate() method
final TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
tv1.setText("Hii Folks");
tv1.setTextSize(14);
tv1.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.lin);
ll.addView(tv1);
Your activity_main.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/lin"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>

LinearLayout with 2 textviews added dynamically with alignment problem

I have lists of LinearLayouts with horizontal orientation each one containing two textviews added dynamically.
This LinearLayout is finally wrapped into master LinearLayout.
I want the second textview of each linear layout to be right aligned progrmatically. How can I do this dynamically.
Here's sample code:
LinearLayout placeHolderLinearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.listhosts);
//Several such layouts with 2 text views will be added to placeholder
LinearLayout l = new LinearLayout(this);
l.setClickable(true);
TextView h = new TextView(this);
h.setText("left");
h.setSingleLine(true);
TextView t = new TextView(this);
t.setText("right");
t.setSingleLine(true);
l.addview(h);
l.addview(t);
placeHolderLinearLayout.addView(l);
There is android:layout_alignParentRight attribute. But how to set this dynamically in this case. Any clue?

The android:layout_alignParentRight can only be applied to a view if its parent is a RelativeLayout. Change your container to that, and the 2 sub-views can use any of the layout_alignParent* attributes.
If you can't do this programatically (which I can't see how to do quickly), then you could always define your inner layout in xml (where you can easily get the layout correct) and inflate manually via:
LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View l = vi.inflate(R.layout.inner_relative_layout, null);
TextView leftTextView = (TextView) l.findViewById(R.id.left_text);
leftTextView.setText("left");
// ... fill in right text too
placeHolderLinearLayout.addView(l);
Edit: added layout definition
Use a layout like this, and inflate it in the code as above:
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/inner_relative_layout" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:id="#+id/left_text" android_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/right_text" android_alignParentRight="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
You will be creating multiple of these layouts for each item you're adding to your list.

this one is woking and simple answer::
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
TextView text[];
TextView texto[];
CheckBox check[];
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
View view = findViewById(R.id.layout);
text = new TextView[5];
texto = new TextView[5];
check = new CheckBox[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
text[i] = new TextView(this);
text[i].setText("First one is::" + i);
texto[i] = new TextView(this);
texto[i].setText("sennd one ibs::" + i);
check[i] = new CheckBox(this);
((ViewGroup) view).addView(check[i]);
((ViewGroup) view).addView(text[i]);
((ViewGroup) view).addView(texto[i]);
}
}
}

Please try below
LinearLayout placeHolderLinearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.listhosts);
//Several such layouts with 2 text views will be added to placeholder
LinearLayout l = new LinearLayout(this);
l.setClickable(true);
TextView h = new TextView(this);
txt1.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
h.setText("left");
h.setSingleLine(true);
TextView t = new TextView(this);
txt1.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
t.setText("right");
t.setSingleLine(true);
l.addview(h);
l.addview(t);
placeHolderLinearLayout.addView(l);
