How to add a view to the top of a linear layout in code?

Question

I need to add an admob adview to a linear layout in code but I need to insert it at the top of the layout, not the bottom.

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

Use:

public void addView (View child, int index) Since: API Level 1

Adds a child view. If no layout parameters are already set on the child, the default parameters for this ViewGroup are set on the child. Parameters child the child view to add index the position at which to add the child See Also

So

yourLayout.addView(yourView, 0);
