// child is the RelativeLayout in the above example:
LinearLayout parent = new LinearLayout(getContext());
LinearLayout.LayoutParams childLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
  LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
parent.addView(child, -1, childLayoutParams);

Answer 1

Try this

LinearLayout parent = new LinearLayout(getContext());
LayoutParams parentLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
parent.setLayoutParams(parentLayoutParams);

And then add this to the screen

outerlayout.addView(parent);
