Question

I am creating a ListView dynamically and want to add two TextViews in a single ListItem (one Below the other). If I add both TextView they are overlapping each other (The reason I m adding two TextView is because both have to have different text size and styles.)

here is the code… inside the custom ListAdapter getView Method

FrameLayout v = new FrameLayout(AppStarter.this);
TextView title = new TextView(AppStarter.this);
TextView date = new TextView(AppStarter.this);
title.setTextSize(16);
title.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT, Typeface.BOLD);
title.setText(values[position]);
date.setText("Date : " + AppStarter.this.date[position]);
date.setTextSize(14);
v.addView(title);
v.addView(date, 1);
return v;

both title and date are overlapping each other I even tried addView(date,1);it didnt workout.

Either use LinearLayout or RelativeLayout.

    LinearLayout linear = new LinearLayout(this);
    linear.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
    TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
    tv1.setText("First Text!");
    TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
    tv2.setText("Second Text!");
    linear.addView(tv1);
    linear.addView(tv2);

pass the layout in adapter of listview.
or Add RelativeLayout and place views relatively on same
