Question

I have 5 textViews which are added dinamicly but each textViews covers others. How to add each textView to specific line?

for(int z=0;z<c;z++){
    TextView lastHour = new TextView(projectActivity.this);
    lastHour.setPadding(5,z*35,0,0); // it currently allows me to see each textView in other line
    lastHour.setText("text"+z);                 
    relative_layout_for_last.addView(lastHour);
}

When I use setPadding, background for textView is stretched.
I just want to add each textView in other line than previous textViews.

Padding won’t do what you want. It will just increase the space between the top and the content. Either add them to a LinearLayout with vertical orientation, like Bram said, or if you’re willing to keep your RelativeLayout, add a layout_below constraint specifying the id of your view on top.
