I need to add views to a vertical Linearlayout at bottom programmatically. (Yes we know that, it's in the title).
Ok : i can add views to the linearlayout, it's not a problem. But it's for a chat, so i need to add views at the bottom for each message which is displayed. I don't find any attributes to the LinearLayout to do that.
Adding messages :
mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
TextView message = new TextView(ChatActivity.this);
String[] splitMessage = text.split(":");
message.setText(splitMessage[0]+"\n"+splitMessage[1]);
message.setGravity(Gravity.LEFT);
message.setMaxWidth(200);
message.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.tertiary_text_light));
message.setTextColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.black));
message.setSingleLine(false);
mLayout.addView(message);
}
});
chat_layout.xml :
