Dynamically adding elements to already created relativelayout

In my fragment, I want each custom item in my listview to look as follows:
Name
SetsXReps
[][][][][] ---> array of textviews
[][][][][] ---> array of checkboxes
The number of textviews and checkboxes depends upon the item in the adapter, so I need to create that part dynamically. I am having trouble adding these elements dynamically to my relativelayout that I partially define in my xml. Here is my fragment class followed by my xml for the custom list item. The id for the layout is list_item_exercise_in_workout.
public class WorkoutFragment extends Fragment
{
public static final String EXTRA_ALREADYCREATED_ID = "shake2lift.nickdelnano.com";
private ExAdapter adapter;
private ListView listView;
private ArrayList<Set> sets;
private Workout w;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
UUID workoutId = (UUID) getArguments().getSerializable(EXTRA_ALREADYCREATED_ID);
w = WorkoutMASTER.get(getActivity()).getWorkout(workoutId);
}
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup parent,Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_workout, parent, false);
adapter = new ExAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.fragment_create_workout, R.id.list, sets);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
return v;
}
public static WorkoutFragment newInstance(UUID workoutId)
{
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putSerializable(EXTRA_ALREADYCREATED_ID, workoutId);
WorkoutFragment fragment = new WorkoutFragment();
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
private class ExAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Set>
{
public ExAdapter(Context c, int resource, int textViewResourceId, ArrayList<Set> sets ) {
super(c, 0, sets);
}
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
//if we werent given a view, inflate one
if(convertView == null)
{
convertView = getActivity().getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_item_exercise_in_workout, null);
}
Set s = getItem(position);
//RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
// RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT );
TextView name = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.exName);
name.setText(s.getName());
TextView setsReps = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.setsXreps);
setsReps.setText(s.getSets() + "X" + s.getReps());
CheckBox[] checkBoxes = new CheckBox[s.getSetsInt()];
EditText[] weightBoxes = new EditText[s.getSetsInt()];
//initialize weightBoxes's text to the inputted weight
for(int i = 0; i < weightBoxes.length; i++)
{
//code to add dynamically here
}
return convertView;
}
}
}
and my XML:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayoutEx"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="Name"
android:id="#+id/exName"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:text="SetsXReps"
android:id="#+id/setsXreps"
android:layout_below="#id/exName"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
/>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_below="#+id/setsXreps"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginTop="112dp" />
I appreciate any help or advice.

You need to first get a pointer to your RelativeLayout like this
RelativeLayout container = (RelativeLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.relativeLayoutEx);
Then in your for loop, create the Text Boxes (and Check Boxes) dynamically and add them to the layout:
TextView text = new TextView(getActivity());
text.setText("Hello");
container.addView(text);

The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first showing error

When I run my program I get the error E/AndroidRuntime(27275): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. where is the problem??

I might be wrong, but the error seems to reside here:
viewHolder.graphView.addView(item.chartview);
Once the view item.chartview is added to graphView, it has a parent. However ListView is known to call some getView on some positions multiple times for caching.
It would seem that the same view is being added to multiple parents which in return throws the error you get. Before adding the chartview you could try removing it from its parent if it exists:
// Remove from parent (if exists)
ViewGroup parent = item.chartview.getParent();
if (parent != null) {
parent.removeView(item.chartview);
}
// Add to another parent
viewHolder.graphView.addView(item.chartview);

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
myFragmentView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dashboardlist, container, false);
instead of container use null
(I'm not an android geek but faced the problem before)

Dynamicaly add layout in layout?

I have a layout and i need to insert into in some kind of blocks with text - like comments date, name, text. Is there a way to use it like this
for (int r=0; r<10;r++) {
TextView t1=(TextView) findviewbyid(R.id.text1);
t1="BlaBla";
mainlayout.add(commentLayout);
}
So i get something like listview but without adapter and etc.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Name"
android:id="#+id/comm_name"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Date"
android:id="#+id/comm_date"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_margin="20dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Text"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:id="#+id/comm_text" />

you can do it, but the way you are doing it will throw an exception, because findViewById returns always the same object, and after the first iteration t1 has already a parent. You should create a new instance of the TextView programmatically, at every iteration.

Try adding views dynamically in linear layout which is inside scroll view.
Try this code.I know it is not exact solution.But,Hope it gives you some idea.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ScrollView scrollview;
LinearLayout linearLayout;
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams;
static int i;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
scrollview = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.scrollview);
linearLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
button.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v) {
TextView view = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
view.setText(++i+" view");
linearLayout.addView(view, layoutParams);
}
});
}}

Use Following approach
Looping to add dynamically Views to Linear Layout
TextView textView1, textView2;
LinearLayout completeLinearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.ll);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
textView1 = new TextView(Activity.this);
textView2 = new TextView(Activity.this);
String name1 = "xyz";
String name2 = "abc"
completeLinearLayout.addView(textView1);
completeLinearLayout.addView(textView2);
setTextViewParam(textView1, name1);
setTextViewParam(textView2, name2);
}
Method to set TextView Parameters Dynamically
private void setTextViewParam(TextView tv, String text) {
LayoutParams textLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
textLayoutParams.setMargins(5, 0, 0, 0);
tv.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
tv.setText(text);
tv.setTextSize(13);
tv.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
tv.setLayoutParams(textLayoutParams);
}
Now you can customize the views according to need and container as well.
Happy Coding!!

So, this code works exactlay as i need.
Is there anything wrong with it??
public class InflateView extends Activity {
LinearLayout lLayout;
TextView t,f;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
lLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout1);
for (int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
RelativeLayout tv = (RelativeLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.text, null);
lLayout.addView(tv);
t = (TextView) tv.findViewById(R.id.ttt);
t.setText("aaaaaaa" + i) ;
f = (TextView) tv.findViewById(R.id.textView);
f.setText(String.valueOf(i));
}
}}

How to add items in a table from EditTexts in Android?

I could see in the debugger that the values from my views were added in my tableRow but I don't see the table appearing in my screen, what am I missing or doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I guess the height of screen is increased. Try using Scrollview on top of this layout.

I think you have to change RelativeLayout property android:height="wrap_content" instead of android:height="fill_parent" and also do for TableLayout
May this work for you...
Try this:
Edited:
public static class ContactsFragment extends Fragment {

and my java code for the activity
package com.sample.epiphron;
public class KeywordsList extends Activity {
TextView category_title;
ListView keywords_list ;
String categoryid, categoryname;
private ArrayList<KeywordDetails> listItems = new ArrayList<KeywordDetails>();
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.keywords);
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
categoryid = extras.getString("category_id");
categoryname = extras.getString("category_name");
category_title = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.category_title);
category_title.setText(""+categoryname+"- Keywords");
keywords_list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.keywordslist);
drawList(LoginScreen.user_credential, categoryid);
//Toast.makeText(this, chkbx.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
keywords_list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2,
long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
TextView txtv1 = (TextView) arg1.findViewById(R.id.key_id);
Toast.makeText(KeywordsList.this, txtv1.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
public void drawList(String userid, String cat_id){
WebServiceCall res = new WebServiceCall();
SoapObject result = res.fetchKeyword(userid, cat_id);
ArrayList<String> al = new ArrayList<String>();
for (int i = 0; i<result.getPropertyCount(); i++){
SoapObject obj = (SoapObject) result.getProperty(i);
al.add((String) obj.getProperty("keywordname"));
KeywordDetails object = new KeywordDetails(Integer.parseInt(obj.getProperty("keywordid").toString()), obj.getProperty("keywordname").toString());
listItems.add(object);
}
for ( int j = 0; j < result.getPropertyCount(); j++ ) {
}
keywords_list.setAdapter(new ListItemsAdapter(listItems));
}
public class KeywordDetails{
private int keyword_id;
private String keyword_name;
public KeywordDetails(int key_id, String key_name){
this.keyword_id = key_id;
this.keyword_name = key_name;
}
public int getId(){
return this.keyword_id;
}
public String getName(){
return this.keyword_name;
}
//...
}
private class ListItemsAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<KeywordDetails> {
ArrayList<KeywordDetails> obj = null;
KeywordDetails keyworddtls = null;
public ListItemsAdapter(ArrayList<KeywordDetails> items) {
super(KeywordsList.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, items);
this.obj = items;
}
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.keyword_list_item, null);
final TextView text1 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.key_id);
TextView text2 = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.key_name);
CheckBox chkbx = (CheckBox) convertView.findViewById(R.id.chk_box);
keyworddtls = obj.get(position);
text1.setText(Integer.toString(keyworddtls.getId()));
text2.setText(keyworddtls.getName());
chkbx.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
return convertView;
}
}
}

Add the CheckBox in the xml where is your <ListView > or in the xml which you use as item layout. Then in the getView() instantiate the CheckBox along the TextView. Implement listview.setOnItemClickListener() and based on which item was clicked (position) you start the activity [matter of logic] For the grouped of check items you can use getCheckedItemPositions(). I hope this will give you fire up idea.
