Question

      scrollview = (ScrollView)findViewById(R.id.detailedScrollView);


  for (Quotation quotation : object.quotes){

          TextView quote = new TextView(this);
          quote.setText(quotation.getQuote());
          quote.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
          scrollview.addView(quote);


      }

Let’s say there are three quotes, then I want to have three textViews. However, the code above crashes my app. Any obvious mistakes? Here’s the error I’m getting:

Answer 1

You can’t add views directly inside a scrollview. A scrollview can only contain a single layout object. What you have to do is to add a linearlayout in your scrollview, then add the textview to the linearlayout
