Question

I declared a RelativeLayout in a xml layout file. Now I want to add Views from code to the existing Layout. I added a Button dynamically to this existing layout as below through code:

rLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.rlayout); 
        LayoutParams lprams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        Button tv1 = new Button(this); 
        tv1.setText("Hello"); 
        tv1.setLayoutParams(lprams); 
        tv1.setId(1); 
        rLayout.addView(tv1); 

Now I need to add another Button to the right of the already added Button. I am not able to find the way in which I can add the new one to the right of the previously added button.

Answer 1

Add the rule RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF for the second added Button LayoutParams:

    // first Button
    RelativeLayout rLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.rlayout);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lprams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    Button tv1 = new Button(this);
    tv1.setText("Hello");
    tv1.setLayoutParams(lprams);
    tv1.setId(1);
    rLayout.addView(tv1);

    // second Button
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams newParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    Button tv2 = new Button(this);
    tv1.setText("Hello2");
    newParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 1);
    tv2.setLayoutParams(newParams);
    tv2.setId(2);
    rLayout.addView(tv2);
