I am trying to add an editText
dynamically to a relative layout. the layout contains an editText
already. I need to add the new editText
below the existing one.
EditText designation1 = new EditText(context);
designation1.setHint("designation");
designation1.setSingleLine(true);
and my layout is
layoutExp =
(RelativeLayout) childView.findViewById(R.id.relative_layout_edit_exp);
and my existing edit Text is
designation = (EditText)childView.findViewById(R.id.editTextDesignatn);
You need to use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams
and specifiy the relative position with the addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, ...)
(this is the programmatic equivalent for android:below
XML attribute):
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.editTextDesignatn);
layoutExp.addView(designation1, params);
It will be possible if You set for example a LinearLayout under Your existing EditText. Give an ID to this LinearLayout and then You could put Your dynamic EditText to this LinearLayout like
YourLinearLayout.addView(YourDynamicEditText);
