I have been searching everywhere for an answer to this question. I'm new to Android and attempting to add items to a relative layout programmatically through java instead of xml. I have created a test class to try it out but the items keep stacking instead of formatting correctly. I simply want one TextView under the other for now (eventually I will use the left of and right of parameters but I am starting simple. What am I missing?
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
RelativeLayout ll = new RelativeLayout(this);
ll.setId(99);
sv.addView(ll);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("txt1");
tv.setId(1);
TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
tv2.setText("txt2");
tv2.setId(2);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lay.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
ll.addView(tv, lay);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams p = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
p.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, tv.getId());
ll.addView(tv2, p); this.setContentView(sv);};
p.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, tv.getId());
This line means that the the bottom of tv2 is aligned with the bottom of tv- in other words, they will cover each other up. The property you want is presumably RelativeLayout.BELOW
. However, I strongly recommend using xml for this instead.
