How do I add elements dynamically to a view created with XML

Viewed 43304

I'm trying to add dynamic content to a view that has been created with XML.

I have a view "profile_list" that has a ScrollView that I like to add some elements to.

Here is some code of what I'm trying to do.

// Find the ScrollView 
ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) this.findViewById(R.id.scrollView1);

// Create a LinearLayout element
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

// Add text
tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("my text");
ll.addView(tv);

// Add the LinearLayout element to the ScrollView
sv.addView(ll);

// Display the view
setContentView(R.layout.profile_list);

The plan is to add a TableLayout and fill it dynamically and not just a dummy text but first I must get this to work.

Any help is welcome.

Kind Regards Olle

I found the solution!

Stupid me I had left a element in my ScrollView in my XML-file!

Anyway her is a working example:

LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.profile_list, null);

    // Find the ScrollView 
    ScrollView sv = (ScrollView) v.findViewById(R.id.scrollView1);

    // Create a LinearLayout element
    LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
    ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

    // Add text
    TextView tv = new TextView(this);
    tv.setText("my text");
    ll.addView(tv);

    // Add the LinearLayout element to the ScrollView
    sv.addView(ll);

    // Display the view
    setContentView(v);

And the XML-file to match

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <ScrollView 
        android:id="@+id/scrollView1" 
        android:clickable="true" 
        android:layout_weight="1" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="50px" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    </ScrollView>

</LinearLayout>

Hope this will help someone. Thanks for all help!
