Question

Friends,

i have a xml file including a Sliding drawer.
I setContentView in the start of the application.

I create dynamically a LinearLayout in Java with a few TextViews and Edittext and add it to the application via addContentView().
The SlidingDrawer still works but LinearLayout i added via addContentView() is displayed above the SlidingDrawer.
Is there a way to make the SlidingDrawer work correct?

Heres part of my code

            setContentView(R.layout.real_time_report_layout);
            LinearLayout linearLayoutRealTimeReportActivity = new LinearLayout(ctx);


            TextView tv_questionType1 = new TextView(ctx);

    linearLayoutRealTimeReportActivity.addView(tv_questionType1);

             addContentView(linearLayoutRealTimeReportActivity, layoutParamsRealTimeReportActivity);

I m glad for any support also work around!!!

Answer 1

You need slight changes.

• Give an id to your parent LinearLayout in layout xml (let’s say, android:id="@+id/parent_container").
• You will get your LinearLayout in java file.

something like this:

LinearLayout container=(LinearLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.parent_container);

• Now when adding new View to container we will use index to put view at specific index.

something like this:

container.addView(linearLayoutRealTimeReportActivity, container.getChildCount()-2);

We substracted -2 because we want to put View at second last index.
So SlidingDrawer is still at the last index.
