Question

ANDROID
I have a layout defined in xml and have a static textview, edittext and checkboxes which are all formatted as below:

android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="14dp"
android:width="180dp"

I add textview, edittext and checkbox dynamically. I need the new added ones to have the same visual display as the ones already present(static ones) on the layout! Could someone guide or point me how to go about it?

Answer 1

You can add the layout by inflating each time you need textview, edittext and chekbox.This way your layout will have same look.Because you are reusing your static layout in xml.

See Layout Inflating for details

You have a layout with textview,edittext and checkbox.Now you will use the layout as a view.Like you said for each row you have to inflate the layout and add it to the row.So for every row you will have the copy of the layout.

TableLayout layout=(TableLayout)findViewById(R.id.tblLayout);

Now you can add the view after inflating the layout

   View rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row_layout, null, true);
   TableRow tblrow=new TableRow(this);
   tblRow.add(rowView);
   layout.add(tblRow);
