I have a horizontal linear layout that contains textviews generated dynamically, the problem I'm experiencing is that the textviews are squeezed (see image below) if too many of them are added. How would I go about wrapping the linearlayout so that the textviews are printed on the next line?

LinearLayout cant help with this. Instead you will have make your own Layout as mentioned in this http://nishantvnair.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/flowlayout-in-android/ or incorporate the same approach as of this Android - LinearLayout Horizontal with wrapping children
