Question

please is possible to make some activity with images, text etc. via some .java file (Java programming) without xml? – xml use only for strings of text, for multilanguage….

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

Yeah it is possible and we call it Dynamic Layouts. But i think you should stick to XML because it is easier to use as compared to programmed layouts. I know XML layout could be an headache sometime but once you’ll be habitual to these XML layouts stuff then you won’t find it hard any more. And if there is any other reason behind why you asked this question then yes it is possible as Android SDK provides classes for each and every layout element with the same name as used in XML file.

For ex. you can create a TextView like this in an activity:-

TextView textView = new TextView(this);

now you can call any function on it which would work similar to TextView’s properties used in XML file for ex. for android:text property you can use :-

textView.setText("I am a TextView");

And if you want to know more about these Dynamic layouts then you should spend some time on developer.android.com.

I hope my answer will be useful for you.
