how to display a layout dynamically with margin

I have two layouts, i inflate one layout into another and want to display this inflated layout including textview as many times as condition is true . I set the textview value as value of i and also set the layout top margin. but it displaying value of i in one row only and rest are blank,also its setMargin() also not working.Below is what i have done yet.
public void displayRows(){
int n= 6;
for(int i=0;i< n;i++){
LinearLayout container = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layoutContainer);
View hiddenInfo = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.dynamic, container, false);
container.addView(hiddenInfo);
LinearLayout hiddenLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.dynamic);
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
textView.setText("Text"+i);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(0, 30, 0, 0);
hiddenLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
hiddenLayout.addView(textView);
}
container.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/layoutContainer"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:layout_gravity="center|top"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/li1"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Rows"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
dynamic.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:text=""
android:textColor="#color/colorPrimary"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I also want to know how to remove all the generated dynamic rows on click remove button.

Replace
LinearLayout hiddenLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.dynamic);
TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
with
LinearLayout hiddenLayout = (LinearLayout) hiddenInfo.findViewById(R.id.dynamic);
TextView textView = (TextView) hiddenInfo.findViewById(R.id.text);
And remove this line
hiddenLayout.addView(textView);

Setting layout weight to dynamically added view is not working in Android

I am developing an Android App. In my app, I am adding view dynamically and setting its weight in code as well. But it is not working.
This is my XML for container of dynamic views:
<ScrollView>
.
.
.
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/id_related_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></LinearLayout>
.
.
.
</ScrollView>
This is how I am adding controls dynamically to it.
private void addRelatedItemViews(final ArrayList<Item> relatedItems)
{
LinearLayout subContainer= new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams initialParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
subContainer.setLayoutParams(initialParam);
relatedItemsContainer.addView(subContainer);
for(int i=0;i<relatedItems.size();i++)
{
if(i>0 && i%2==0)
{
//initialize sub container
subContainer = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams subContainerParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
subContainer.setLayoutParams(subContainerParam);
relatedItemsContainer.addView(subContainer);
}
final int index = i;
View view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.realated_item_view,null);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.iv_related_item_image);
TextView tvName = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.tv_related_item_name);
TextView tvPrice = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.tv_related_item_price);
TextView tvLikeCount = (TextView)view.findViewById(R.id.tv_related_item_like_count);
Picasso.with(getBaseContext()).load(relatedItems.get(i).getMediumImageUrl()).into(imageView);
tvName.setText(relatedItems.get(i).getName());
tvPrice.setText(CommonHelper.formatCurrency(relatedItems.get(i).getPrice()));
tvLikeCount.setText(CommonHelper.formatLikeCount(relatedItems.get(i).getLikeCount()) + " like");
view.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
openItemActivity(relatedItems.get(index).getId());
}
});
LinearLayout itemContainer = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1);
itemContainer.setLayoutParams(params);
itemContainer.addView(view);
subContainer.addView(itemContainer);
}
}
This is my realated_item_view.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="3dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:background="#drawable/item_bg"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_related_item_image"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<LinearLayout
android:padding="5dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="17dp"
android:id="#+id/tv_related_item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:textSize="13dp"
android:id="#+id/tv_related_item_price"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:textSize="10dp"
android:id="#+id/tv_related_item_like_count"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
But it is not settings its weight properly. Actually, each row has two column and each column must be half of screen width. But it is not working.
This is the screenshot:
As you can see, it not taking screen half by half. How can I fix it?

Try this below in your realated_item_view.xml (wrap_content to fill_parent)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="3dp"
And change your Java code:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1);
itemContainer.setLayoutParams(params);
itemContainer.addView(view);
subContainer.addView(itemContainer);
But maybe your image will be stretched by the width. But it will fill half of the width as you want.
UPDATE:
I dont know why you tried failed with above solution. So I write a small demo for referencing. It uses ScrollView as you want. But I strongly recommend you should use GridView instead for better perfomance!!!
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.test_layout);
LinearLayout containerLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container_layout);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i ++){
LinearLayout subLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
subLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams subParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1);
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j ++){
View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.test_item_layout, null, false);
if (j == 1){
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);
}
subLayout.addView(v, subParams);
}
containerLayout.addView(subLayout, params);
}
}
test_item_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dip" />
<TextView
android:text="Test label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
test_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Screenshot:

Instead of ViewGroup.LayoutParams try it with LinearLayout.LayoutParams and also set layout width to 0
LinearLayout itemContainer = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1);
itemContainer.setLayoutParams(params);
It might work.

try this
use straggerdgridlayout manager
RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
recyclerView.setHasFixedSize(true);
gaggeredGridLayoutManager = new StaggeredGridLayoutManager(column, 1);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(gaggeredGridLayoutManager);
column replaces your requirement of column

Add view to a vertical LinearLayout at bottom (programmatically)

I need to add views to a vertical Linearlayout at bottom programmatically. (Yes we know that, it's in the title).
Ok : i can add views to the linearlayout, it's not a problem. But it's for a chat, so i need to add views at the bottom for each message which is displayed. I don't find any attributes to the LinearLayout to do that.
Adding messages :
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
TextView message = new TextView(ChatActivity.this);
String[] splitMessage = text.split(":");
message.setText(splitMessage[0]+"\n"+splitMessage[1]);
message.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
message.setMaxWidth(200);
message.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.tertiary_text_light));
message.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.black));
message.setSingleLine(false);
mLayout.addView(message);
}
});
chat_layout.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/live_obs_mainLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/empty"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/chat_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="10" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:isScrollContainer="tue"
>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_chat"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:layout_weight="5" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/chat_submit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:onClick="onSubmit"
android:text="OK" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

You can do it pragmatically like this, this is just an example. You may want to change your code based on that.
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mylayout);
TextView txt1 = new TextView(MyClass.this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =
(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) txt1.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.addRule(LinearLayout.BOTTOM, 1);
txt1.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
linearLayout.addView(txt1);

ScrollView can host only one direct child exception

I want to add images to scrollview, there is code i tried to use:
ScrollView sv = (ScrollView)findViewById( R.id.scrollView2);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setImageDrawable( new BitmapDrawable( "PATH" ) );
iv.setScaleType( ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE );
sv.addView( sv );
I get this exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: ScrollView can host only one direct child
So how i should add images to my scrollview ?
Added code:
xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#FF0000" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView2"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/scrollView1"
android:background="#FFFF00" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/filesScrollerLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/scrollView2" />
</RelativeLayout>
And on the end Activity onCreate calling this method:
public void addImage(String path){
LinearLayout sv = (LinearLayout)findViewById( R.id.filesScrollerLayout);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setImageDrawable( new BitmapDrawable( path ) );
iv.setScaleType( ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE );
sv.addView( sv );
}
Thanks.

this may help.. it tells so because ScrollView cannot hold more than 1 child.. it needs single child which hosts all other view..
<ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/child">
<ImageView/>
...
...
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
in your case
LinearLayout child = (LinearLayout)findViewById( R.id.child);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setImageDrawable( new BitmapDrawable( "PATH" ) );
iv.setScaleType( ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE );
child.addView( sv );

How can i write this layout code in my Android Activity?

I wish to create a custom layout out for my sample application. Previously i used the xml layout for User interface, but now i wish to create the application using custom (without using xml layout).

Any one could you please help me to solve this. Thanks in advance.

As you want to create layout at run-time, you can do this way:
RelativeLayout layout1 = new RelativeLayout(this);
ImageView imgView1 = new imgView1(this);
layout1.addView(imgView1); // added ImageView into the RelativeLayout
do this kind of process for creating and adding widgets.

LinearLayout ll1,ll2;
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
RelativeLayout rl1,rl2;
WebView wv1,wv2;
ImageView iv1,iv2;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
int LHeightWrap = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
int LWidthWrap = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
int LHeightFill = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
int LWidthFill = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
int RHeightWrap = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
int RWidthWrap = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
int RHeightFill = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
int RWidthFill = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT;
wv1 = new WebView(this);
iv1 = new ImageView(this);
rl1.addView(wv1,RWidthWrap,RHeightWrap);
rl1.addView(iv1,RWidthWrap,RHeightWrap);
wv2 = new WebView(this);
iv2 = new ImageView(this);
rl2.addView(wv2,RWidthWrap,RHeightWrap);
rl2.addView(iv2,RWidthWrap,RHeightWrap);
ll2.addView(rl1);
ll2.addView(rl2);
sv.addView(ll2);
ll1.addView(ll2);
You can do somthing like this. You can also set properties of any component using native code.
