Question

I am creating a user form in android. I want to display an edit text box on click of a button. below that button, while simultaneously the contents originally present below that button to move more down.
How can this be done?

Answer 1

If you just want to “display an edit text box on click of a button” why don’t you just..

Keep the EditText in your XML layout file for that activity below the Button where you want it..

XML set it’s

android:visibility = "gone"

and making instance of that

EditText et=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.thatEditText);

in activity…in your button click event set

et.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
