Hi I was want to add 2 different text views to my linear layout but somehow when i try to add both of them only the first one appears why is this the case? Here is my code :
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// create the text view for the main string to
// be displayed
TextView displayMainText = new TextView(this);
displayMainText.setTextSize(15);
displayMainText.setText(mainString);
displayMainText.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
displayMainText.setPadding(0, 20, 0, 0);
// Create the text view for the optional string to
// be displayed
TextView displayOppText = new TextView(this);
displayOppText.setTextSize(15);
displayOppText.setText(optionalString);
displayOppText.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
displayOppText.setPadding(0, 20, 0, 0);
// add text views to the layout
LinearLayout studyTLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.study_time_layout);
studyTLayout.addView(displayMainText);
studyTLayout.addView(displayOppText);
setContentView(studyTLayout);
With my code it only adds the first text view correctly
It seems like you didn't set the orientation of the LinearLayout to Vertical.
studyTLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

I want to add a line of texts inside linear layout(Vertical)
and I want to add them in function in java
How to do this?
To add dynamically in Java write like this :
LinearLayout myLayout = new LinearLayout(MainActivity.this) ;
Do it like this :
LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
//add layout params
LinearLayout.LayoutParams p = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//add TextView inside the vertical LinearLayout
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setTextSize(16); //set the text size here
textView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); // set the text color here
textView.setText("Texts"); // set the text here
textView.setTypeface(Typeface.BOLD); // set the text style here
linearLayout.addView(textView, p); // add the TextView to the LinearLayout
You can add any views inside the LinearLayout as much as you need.
Use addView :
LinearLayout layoutCard = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
TextView text = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
text.setText("hello");
layoutCard.addView(text);

In the profile page of my application, I want to have an interest section as shown in the image. The user has a list of interest under his profile. I want to show his/her interests inside a horizontal LinearLayout. I have created an array of TextViews and add them dynamically inside the parent LinearLayout, but I do not want to add the TextViews when there is no more space. Instead, I want to add a TextView showing the number of remaining interests.
As shown in the picture (use the image link), the user had 24 interests, 4 of them fit horizontally on the same line and last TextView(+20) shows the number of remaining interests on the same line.
String interestList[]={"Travel","Music","Photography","Sports","Dance","Animals","SciFi Movies"};
int interestWidth =0, parentWidth=interestLinearLayout.getWidth();
for(String interest: interestList) {
TextView textView = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
textView.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.interests_bg));
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(2,0,10,2);
textView.setLayoutParams(params);
textView.setPadding(2, 2, 2, 2);
textView.setText(" "+interest+" ");
textView.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
textView.setIncludeFontPadding(true);
interestWidth += textView.getWidth();
if(interestWidth<parentWidth) //both are 0 on first iteration of loop???
interestLinearLayout.addView(textView);
else
break;
}
You can add views dynamically but first you need a reference to the parent view to which you want to add a view.
You can do this by just using findViewById. Assuming it's a linear layout,
LinearLayout parent = findViewById(R.id.parent);
// Then create a textview
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
// Add the view to the parent
parent.addView(textView);
And that's it! To change properties about the TextView, you can use TextView getters and setters. If you want to change the margin, padding or height of width of the TextView, use LayoutParams
// Remember that I'm using LinearLayout.LayoutParams because the parent of the ttextview is a LinearLayout
LinearLayout.LayourParams params = textView.getLayoutParams();
// Remember these values are in pixels
params.height = 100;
params.width = 200;
There are tons of problems using this method, such as setting height and width in pixels instead of dps. And writing a lot of code when you could have done it in xml. You can however make this much easier by creating an xml file in your res/layout and then inflating it and finally adding it to the parent.
You can do this by -
// First get the layout inflater
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
TextView textView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.myTextView, null);
linearLayout.addView(textView);
Finally addressing your problem about adding only enough views that the linearLayout doesn't go beyond the screen width.
The easiest solution is, to loop through the interest list and in every iteration of the loop, measure the combined width of the TextViews created and then checking whether it exceeds the width of the linearLayout.
It would look similar to this -
int combinedWidth = 0;
int linearLayoutWidth = linearLayout.getMeasuredWidth();
for(String interest : interests){
TextView view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.textview, null);
combinedWidth += textView.getMeasuredWidth();
view.setText(interest);
if(combinedWidth > linearLayoutWidth){
// No need to add more views
break;
}else{
linearLayout.addView(textView);
}
}
However, the above solution may or may not work depending on when it is executed. So post the activity code along with the xml file so that I can better answer your question.
The interestWidth and parentWidth are initially 0 because they have not been laid out when getWidth is called.
get width for dynamically created textViews
The above link helped me getting width of dynamically created textViews from interestList.
And by using ViewTreeObserver on interestLinearLayout I was able to get the width of LinearLayout after it was laid out.
Finally, the above code should be modified as below to add textViews from JAVA inside a LinearLayout.
final LinearLayout interestLinearLayout = findViewById(R.id.interests);
interestLinearLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
interestLinearLayout.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
String interestList[]={"Travel","Music","Photography","Sports","Dance","Animals","SciFi Movies"};
int interestWidth =0;
int parentWidth = interestLinearLayout.getWidth(); // got width inside view tree observer for linearlayout
for(String interest: interestList) {
TextView textView = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(2,0,10,2);
textView.setLayoutParams(params);
textView.setPadding(2, 2, 2, 2);
textView.setText(interest);
textView.setIncludeFontPadding(true);
textView.measure(0,0); //using approach mentioned in link to get width of text views
interestWidth += textView.getMeasuredWidth();
if(interestWidth<parentWidth)
interestLinearLayout.addView(textView);
else
break;
}
}
});
To create a LinearLayout,
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(MainActivity.this);
To set background color of a layout,
layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#135517"));
To set width and height of the layout,
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams
(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.setMargins(15, 5, 5, 5);
layout.setLayoutParams(params);
The orientation,
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
layout.setHorizontalGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
layout.setPadding(10, 10, 5, 5);
Then create a textview,
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setLayoutParams(params);
textView.setPadding(2, 2, 2, 2);
textView.setText(" "your" ");
textView.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.white));
textView.setIncludeFontPadding(true);
Add the view to the parent,
layout.addView(textView);
I have a calendar view with events inside a table. An event is created with a LinearLayout and a textview inside:
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(context);
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//My label
TextView label = new TextView(context);
label.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.END);
label.setPadding(4, 0, 0, 10);
label.setText(text);
ll.addView(label, layoutParams);
When I add my LinearLayout to the calendar view, I got this:
My label is cutted off because of the linearlayout height. I dont want to change the height of my event. So I have set the property ellipsize with TruncateAt.END in my label in order to avoid this issue, but the problem persists. How can I have my label truncated at the end with (...)?
Add setIncludeFontPadding() to your TextView...this will remove all default padding from TextView.
label.setIncludeFontPadding(false);
One more thing, you have added ellipsize to your TextView but you didn't specify the length of the TextView after which the ellipsize should take effect. You can set that condition using any one of the following...
label.setSingleLine(true);
or
label.setMaxLines(2); //here maximum line 2
I have to develop five to six horizontal scrolling view,in this scrolling image add dynamic using adapter.
Feature:
1) Image can be drag and drop one scroll view to another
2) image can be move one horizontal scrolling to another view
3) image can be selected/unselected
4) with with all version
i am using this library, but sometime scrolling is not that much smooth(chopping)
Check this links may be it's useful to you.
1) Insert a view dynamically in a HorizontalScrollView in Android
2) http://android-er.blogspot.in/2012/07/implement-gallery-like.html
3) Horizontal ListView like Google Catalogs
Using this code you can add android control programatically to linear layout and just add Horizontal Scrollview to Linear Layout through xml
You will get horizontally listview.
//My coding here.

{
LinearLayout li=new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
li.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params1 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams paramsnew = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);

I created a custom view. In it, theres a line, a textview, another line. beneath the bottom line, i wanted to put a new horizontally oriented linearlayout. when i run it, this nested linearlayout doesnt seem to show up at all. Instead, i can see the test button right underneath the bottom line. what am i doing wrong?
public class MyView extends LinearLayout {
public MyView(Context context, Question question) {
super(context);
// this.setLayoutParams(params);
this.setOrientation(VERTICAL);
this.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lineParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 2);
View topLine = new View(context);
lineParams.setMargins(0, 15, 0, 0);
topLine.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 0, 159, 218));
topLine.setLayoutParams(lineParams);
this.addView(topLine);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//Challenge Question
TextView questionText = new TextView(context);
questionText.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
questionText.setTextSize(14);
questionText.setLayoutParams(params);
questionText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
questionText.setText(question.getQuestion());
this.addView(questionText);
View bottomLine = new View(context);
bottomLine.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 0, 159, 218));
bottomLine.setLayoutParams(lineParams);
this.addView(bottomLine);
LinearLayout innerLayout = new LinearLayout(context);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams innerLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(300, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
innerLayout.setLayoutParams(innerLayoutParams);
innerLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
innerLayout.setOrientation(HORIZONTAL);
//TableLayout for the multiple choices
TableLayout tableLayout = new TableLayout(context);
LayoutParams tableLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// tableLayoutParams.weight = .8f;
tableLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
tableLayout.setLayoutParams(tableLayoutParams);
innerLayout.addView(tableLayout);
this.addView(innerLayout);
Button button = new Button(context);
button.setLayoutParams(params);
button.setText("testing 123");
this.addView(button);
}
Note that I pasted the code without all the stuff that I added to the tablelayout. I probably should have pasted that too. But it didn't work when I did that either. but either way, if i set the nested linearlayout to 300 width and set a background color of red to it, i should at least see it, no?
Think about what the height of the inner layout should be. Right now it is wrap_content and contains a TableLayout (with no rows) with its height also set to wrap_content. There doesn't seem to be anything in that inner layout giving it a height dimension, so that may be why it is not being displayed.
Trying the following will make your layout visible:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams innerLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(300, 300);
More usefully, you can try adding something with a real width/height to the TableLayout.
Also consider writing your layout in XML to better separate your application logic and the presentation.
