Question

So I’m creating ImageView and TextView in the runtime and I want the TextView to be placed right of the ImageView.

I’m trying this simple code:

private void loadContent(Module module) {
    this.removeAllViewsInLayout();      
    this.addView(getModuleIconView(module));
    this.addView(getModuleNameView(module));
}

private ImageView getModuleIconView(Module module) {
    ImageView view = new ImageView(context);
    view.setImageResource(module.getIconResId());   
    android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(120, 120);                
    view.setLayoutParams(params);
    view.setId(1); //seting some id for the view
    return view;
}

private TextView getModuleNameView(Module module) {
    TextView view = new TextView(context);
    view.setText(module.getName()); 
    params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 1); //hoping for view to be placed right of the ImageView which id was set to 1
    return view;
}

What Do I do wrong here? The TextView is placed on my ImageView ignoring the RIGHT_OF

Need to mention the class inherits from RelativeLayout

Answer 1

It was my stupid mistake. Third method leaks setLayoutParams

So correct method body is:

private TextView getModuleNameView(Module module) {
    TextView view = new TextView(context);
    view.setText(module.getName()); 
    params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 1);
    view.setLayoutParams(params);
    return view;
}
