Question

I have a details Form with multiple textviews (label: field) that are added with a for loop. Is there a way to present some of them as a group in the UI, based on a property? e.g. Personal data or financial data?

Personal

Name: John Doe

Address: Somewhere

Phone: [phone]

Dates
Reminder: 18/11/2011

DateFrom: 10/11/2011

DateTo: 20/11/2011

thanks in advance

Answer 1

You can create a LinearLayout programatically as:

LinearLayout group1 = new LinearLayout(this);
group1.addView(myTextView1);
group1.addView(myTextView2);

in this way you can create a new view, which will have a collection of TextViews

EDIT:
If you want to automate process a little more, you may consider setting tags for every TextView using:

TextView.setTag("Finances");

and then create groups by adding distinguished TextViews into LinearLayouts using:

String tag = TextView.getTag();

if(tag.equals("Finances")){
 group1.addView(TextView);
}
