Question

So, I want to create a custom Android TextView with a border INSIDE AN XML FILE, so not programmatically, and create 10 of those using a for-loop. Something like this:

LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(//something, //something); 
TextView tv;
String[] data = //Certain data which I'm getting

for(int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { 
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tvTest); 
layout.addView(tv); 
} 

But this doesn’t work for me for some reason. So to summarize:

• > Create custom TextView in XML (NOT PROGRAMMATICALLY with Java, but in XML)
• > Create an x amount of this particular TextView
• > Add it to the screen in Java

Can you help me with this?

Answer 1

This is code snippet

 LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) _context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    for (  ) {
      View listItemView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.detaillistitem, _ListLayout, false);
      _ListLayout.addView(listItemView);

      TextView descriptionText = (TextView) listItemView.findViewById(R.id.Text1);
      descriptionText.setText("");

    }

R.layout.detaillistitem is item u want to inflate.
_ListLayout is LinearLayout to which you can add above item.
