How to dynamic insert elements of a string array into textview and position it?

I get the list of elements from the HTTP response, then I want to dynamically insert that list into the textview inside the "box" that you can see, currently it just inserts a string and overlaps them one over the other. I tried changing the layout (all three constraint, relative and linear) and it didn't help. Does anyone know how to position them dynamicly inside the boxes and not overlap but have margins like in the second picture? Otherwise, inside the project, I use a constrain layout.
Here is my code:
RelativeLayout parentLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout);
int size = response.toArray().length;
final TextView[] tv = new TextView[size];
TextView temp;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
temp = new TextView(Activity.this);
temp.setText(response.get(i).getName());
parentLayout.addView(temp);
tv[i] = temp;
}
Here is the picture how it looks right now:
And here is the picture how I want it to looks like:

This sounds like a typical ListView use case.
Firstly, I'd suggest you go through the documentation -
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ListView
You can see an implementation example of a list view with an array of strings here -
https://androidexample.com/Create_A_Simple_Listview_-_Android_Example/index.php?view=article_discription&aid=65
In general, you choose the UI of your item and the listView populates the view to each item in your list (each string in your case).
In the adapter, you give each item the data it needs for the UI.

I would suggest you to use RecyclerView for this type of task. You may use ListView as well.
But RecyclerView is more flexible and advanced than ListView.
Create a simple layout or xml file for your row item to be shown in RecyclerView.
Add that row xml file in onCreateViewHolder method. And inside method onBindViewHolder do necessary task like for example, showing name in the list for each position.
Go to this link for your reference : https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/recyclerview
Instead of Array<String> you can use Array<CustomModel> as well depending on your requirement.
Simple example of RecyclerView with model objects as list : https://www.javatpoint.com/android-recyclerview-list-example

Well, the proper way to do what you need is use ListView or RecyclerView.
Anyway, if you want to use your current solution, you need to specify the position of each TextView.
For example, assign an ID to each textview you create and then set the position of it under the previous one. Here you can find how to do that.

How to show a list of items with 2 fields?

I'm developing my first app and I want to show a grid in which there is a list of entries. I get those entries through queries on local SQLite database so this it is a dynamic list. Every item of this list should have 2 field: a string and a value.
How to correctly do it in an activity?
I see ListView but it doesn't seem to suit my needs and I do not need clickable items.
Can you suggest a better solution?

I would still use a ListView.
They don't have to be clickable, you can customise the view to have 2 columns (or to be whatever you want) and they have great performance benefits with view recycling, etc during scrolling.
Essentially you need to return a custom view as the row - this row view will have data aligned horizontally and so you can get columns.
Here is an example.

Create programatically or in XML LinearLayout with vertical orientation:
LinearLayout layout = findViewById(r.id.layout);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
Then create Textview for every item with text consisting of string and value of item and add them to the layout:
for (int i=0; i<items.size; i++) {
TextView tv = new TextView(context);
tv.setText(items[i].stringName + ": " + items[i].value);
layout.addView(tv);
}

How to add editable View components to a layout in Android?

So, what I'd like is: defining a component, which includes TextView-s and an ImageView. This is an item, which I'd like to add to a (for example Linear) layout, so I can display all the custom items, I added one after the other.
The point is, that these items have to be editable, because a database query result will define their text content and the image.

Your custom component should be a ViewGroup itself. You can add any number of TextViews and ImageViews to it, and access them by their ID.
MyCustomViewGroup component = (MyCustomViewGroup)linearLayout.findViewById(...);
TextView textView1 = (TextView)component.findViewById(...);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)component.findViewById(...);

You can go for the XML approach for defining your component. For instance, you can define your component as a LinearLayout, then add all the elements (TextViews, ImageViews) you need to that layout.
As for the "editable" part, just provide your elements with an id property
android:id="#+id/my_view"; that way you may obtain them through a findViewById(R.id.my_view) call.
You cast the results to whatever View implementation you are expecting, then change it's text/content/image with the interpreted results from your query.

Dynamically add UI content in android

I have an android app which asks a question followed by x number of options.
Each option contains a textview, ImageView and a radio button.
The value of x (i.e. the number of options) is not constant. I want to dynamically add UI content to satisfy this requirement.
At the moment I have written the code in the layout's xml to display a maximum of 4 options. If number of options is 2 I hide the options 3 and 4 using something like
tvoption1.setVisibility(View.GONE);
tvoption2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
However this is not very scalable. Can anyone tell me how to add options for java dynamically. Or is there a better approach?

A View can be added at runtime by using the inflater like this:
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.news_categories_item, null);
TextView categoryValueTextView = (TextView)linearLayout.findViewById(R.id.news_category_item_value);
mMainLinearLayout.addView(categoryValueTextView);
In this example, a LinearLayout containing a TextView is inflated. A reference to the constituent TextView is then obtained, and the TextView is dynamically added (at runtime) to the main linear layout (mMainLinearLayout).
The inflater object may be obtained in an Activity by using getLayoutInflater().

create your row layout separately, from the main xml
Get LayoutInflater service from context:
LayoutInflater inflater=(LayoutInflater)getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATE_SERVICE);
use following method to addview to main xml, I assume you have parent layout llParent in xml and you want to add items in this llPaent, from list list.
for(int i=0;i<list.size();i++)
{
LinearLayout llView=(LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.row);
//get view id and set values
TextView txt=(TextView)llView.findViewById(R.id.text);
}

A ListView is a good view for displaying several similar items. Here is a tutorial (Other views with adapters are good too, such as GridView or Gallery).
You will probably want to create your own adapter for the list, so you can display all three views (checkbox, image and text) as one item, but there are lots of examples on that available on the net as well as here on SO.

how to fill in scroll view from file or database or any data source?

I want to bind data from an xml file? how can I do that where i'm using a layout xml file to define a scrollview ??

If i've understood your question right, you want to read a layout file and insert it into a ScrollView.
You would want to take a look LayoutInflater for this task.
Example for doing this from an activity.
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
ScrollView sv = findViewById(R.id.id_of_scrollview);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.id_of_layoutfile_to_include, sv);
EDIT:
After having read your comment i realise that i misunderstood your question.
ScrollView is not the view you want for binding your data, scrollView is a specialized frameLayout, and therefore only allows one child.
Your most likely looking for a view like ListView (Which adds scrolling automatically)
Another solution is to use a Layout in a scrollview and dynamically (From code) add the views.
LinearLayout ll = findViewById(R.id.id_of_linearlayout);
//Loop data and build a view for each data entry and add it with
ll.addView(yourView);
