I want to create more then one TextView based on the condition of a for loop.
how to do it programmatically?
Template :
app name: facebook
duration: 2
app name: messaging
duration: 4
app name: temple run
duration: 2
You can just create a TextView like this:
TextView myTextView = new TextView(this);
myTextView.setText("A TextView");
then you can add this view to your layout
Add an id field in layout in xml. Take reference of layout in your class. Create views and add it to layout.
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.YourID);
TextView textView = new TextView (this);
textView. setText ("YourText");
linearLayout. addView (textView);
You can use this code to create text view programmaticaly:
TextView mTextView = new TextView(this);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
mTextView.setLayoutParams(params);
rootView.addView(mTextView, 0);
What I understoond:
You have two array 1.appname 2. duration then try following code.
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.YourID);
for (int i = 0; i < appname.length; i++)
{
TextView textAppname = new TextView(this);
TextView textDuration = new TextView(this);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
textAppname.setLayoutParams(params);
textDuration.setLayoutParams(params);
textAppname.setText(appname[i]);
textDuration.setText(duration[i]);
linearLayout.addView(textAppname);
linearLayout.addView(textDuration);
}

I'm very new at android. Need to dynamically create LinearLayout inside RadioGroup with aligned TextViews as following. Here I just moved elements from palette and haven't changed any properties
But get this
What am I missing?
LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, /* or MATCH_PARENT */
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, /* or MATCH_PARENT */
1.0f);
final LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
final TextView text1 = new TextView(this);
text1.setText("aaa");
text1.setLayoutParams(param);
linearLayout.addView(text1);
final TextView text2 = new TextView(this);
text2.setText("bbb");
text2.setLayoutParams(param);
linearLayout.addView(text2);
final TextView text3 = new TextView(this);
text3.setText("ccc");
text3.setLayoutParams(param);
linearLayout.addView(text3);
radioGroup.addView(linearLayout);
LayoutParams should be both MATCH_PARENT and linearLayout should also be set to that params
I want to create a relative layout inside a linear layout dynamically.This relative layout contains a text view and button which are also created in dynamic method.The alignment of text view and button not work properly.The code which i have tried is given below.
final LinearLayout lab_linear = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.contact_list_layout);
lab_linear.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
for (int i = 0; i < Size_contact; i++)
{
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layout.setLayoutParams(lp);
final TextView Questions_value = new
android.widget.TextView(getApplicationContext());
Questions_value.setText(contact_name.get(i));
Questions_value.setTextSize(18);
Questions_value.setId(i);
layout.addView(Questions_value);
Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.close);
myButton.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(20,20));
layout.addView(myButton);
lab_linear.addView(layout);
}
Try this..
Give layout parems for RelativeLayout individually to TextView and Button and also add addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT); or addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT); for that views
Or add the below in for Button
lp1.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, Questions_value.getId());
for (int i = 0; i < Size_contact; i++)
{
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
final TextView Questions_value = new
android.widget.TextView(getApplicationContext());
Questions_value.setText(contact_name.get(i));
Questions_value.setTextSize(18);
Questions_value.setId(i);
layout.addView(Questions_value,lp);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp1 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp1.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
//Or below remove above code and uncomment the below code
//lp1.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, Questions_value.getId());
Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.close);
myButton.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(20,20));
layout.addView(myButton,lp1);
lab_linear.addView(layout);
}
Might I suggest using LinearLayouts instead of RelativeLayouts in your loop? That way, you won't have the overlap problem.
In my app. there is activity contain multiple linear layout and divider which created programmatically , its run fine ,
but i have to duplicate the linear layout and divider 5 times ,and all are the same except two things :
1- each linear layout has different string .
2- first divider margin differ than others divider margin .
is there's better approach to do that with more clean and shorter code .
any help will be much appreciated .
public class Dreams extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Boolean customTitleSupported =
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.trip);
if (customTitleSupported) {
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE,R.layout.custom_title);
}
TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.title);
tv.setTypeface(FontFactory.getOldEnglish(getBaseContext()));
tv.setText("Dreams");
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
// add text view
TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
tv1.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
tv1.setTextSize(30);
tv1.setTypeface(FontFactory.getOldEnglish(getBaseContext()));
ll.addView(tv1);
tv1.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.dreams)));
ImageView divider1 = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp1 =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 5);
lp1.setMargins(40, 0, 40, 0);
divider1.setLayoutParams(lp1);
divider1.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

ImageView divider4 = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp4 =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 5);
lp4.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
divider4.setLayoutParams(lp4);
divider4.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

TextView tv5 = new TextView(this);
tv5.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
tv5.setTextSize(30);
tv5.setTypeface(FontFactory.getOldEnglish(getBaseContext()));
ll.addView(tv5);
tv5.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.dream_4)));
ImageView divider5 = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp5 =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 5);
lp5.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
divider5.setLayoutParams(lp5);
divider5.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
ll.addView(divider5);
TextView tv6 = new TextView(this);
tv6.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
tv6.setTextSize(30);
tv6.setTypeface(FontFactory.getOldEnglish(getBaseContext()));
ll.addView(tv6);
tv6.setText(Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.dream_5)));
ImageView divider6 = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp6 =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 5);
lp6.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
divider6.setLayoutParams(lp6);
divider6.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
ll.addView(divider6);
}
}
Since all that is changing is the TextView setText() you can make this a for loop with a list of String inputs. For example:
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
String[] textEntries = { getString(R.string.dream),
getString(R.string.dream_1),
getString(R.string.dream_2),
getString(R.string.dream_3),
getString(R.string.dream_4),
getString(R.string.dream_5)
};
for ( int i = 0; i < textEntries.length; i++)
{
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
tv.setTextSize(30);
tv.setTypeface(FontFactory.getOldEnglish(getBaseContext()));
ll.addView(tv);
tv.setText(Html.fromHtml(textEntries[i]));
ImageView divider = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 5);
lp.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
divider.setLayoutParams(lp);
divider.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
ll.addView(divider);
}
first of all it would be easier if you define your layouts in XML instead of adding them programmatically. You will profit from the benefits of the UI editor as well. :)
Second, you may want to use ListView and an Adapter to fill the list, since you do not want do duplicate the same tasks for each layout.
Maybe these two links are helpful:
1. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html
2. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/listview.html
So, to finally answer your question, I would do the following:
Create a file, e.g. list_item.xml, with something like:
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:padding="10dp"><TextView your attributes.../></LinearLayout>
Create another layout, for instance main.xml, which contains a ListView. You can change the color of the divider like described here How to change the divider color in the listview?.
In your code (activity or fragment) add the main.xml as content view via setContentView().
Also in your code you should then add an adapter to the ListView which then populates the list for you. Here is an example How to customize listview using baseadapter
Finally, and since you separate the concerns (design and code), you could achieve what you want with just a few lines in your activity (the layout stuff would be in the xml and the population could be moved to a separated class like MyAdapter.java...)
Hope that helps...
I have a TableLayout in my XML, and I'd like to dynamically add a TableRow with an ImageView to that TableLayout. What I have so far is this:
TableRow tr = new TableRow(this);
ImageView imgView = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
imgView.setLayoutParams(lp);
imgView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.icon_test));
tr.addView(imgView);
tlCollection.addView(tr);
What am I doing wrong? If I want to add a Textview to the same TableRow, it works, but adding an ImageView doesn't work..
The code for adding a TextView:
TextView myTextView = new TextView(this);
myTextView.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(
TableRow.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
myTextView.setText("Test");
tr.addView(myTextView);
Any idea?
I fixed it, using an LayoutInflater:
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
TableRow row = (TableRow)inflater.inflate(R.layout.collection_row, tlCollection, false);
//fill textview
TextView content = (TextView)row.findViewById(R.id.txtCollection);
content.setText("Test");
//fill imageview
ImageView myImgView = ImageView)row.findViewById(R.id.imgCollection);
myImgView.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.my_icon));
//add row to tablelayout
tlCollection.addView(row);
I think it has to do with the layout params. You're setting both dimensions to WRAP_CONTENT but the image view doesn't have "content" per se, it has a source drawable. Try playing around with adjustViewBounds, setScaleType, and the layout params. Notice that in your example of being able to add a TextView, you're setting the width to FILL_PARENT?
The only example I can find quickly in my open projects of adding an ImageView dynamically in this way was a case in which I was using FILL_PARENT in both directions. That might not work for you since I'm not doing it exactly the same, but it's worth playing around with these settings as well as the two others mentioned above.
try this
ImageView imgView = new ImageView(this);
imgView.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.ic_launcher));
tr.addView(imgView);
I Had the same problem now its fixed using the below code
CandFlag =new ImageView(this);
CandFlag.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
CandFlag.setImageBitmap(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.flag));
LayoutParams layoutParams = (LayoutParams) CandFlag.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = 75;
layoutParams.height = 75;
CandFlag.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
Tablerow.addView(CandFlag);
I need to be able to add a textview to my app with code, not using the XML or Graphic interface...
I have an imageview, but cannot figure out how to modify it to get a Textview (Im new to Android)...
Here is my imageview code:
//Add view using Java Code
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(AndroidAddViewActivity.this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);
LayoutParams imageViewLayoutParams
= new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
imageView.setLayoutParams(imageViewLayoutParams);
mainLayout.addView(imageView);
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText("the text");
LayoutParams textViewLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
textView.setLayoutParams(textViewLayoutParams);
mainLayout.addView(textView);
You can do so with the following:
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setText("the text");
You can add like
TextView nameHere = new TextView(this);
nameHere.setText("your text here");
This is just simple line of code you can modify it to do much more :)
