add Layout programmatically inside another one

Question

I have an xml file (option_element.xml) that contains a ImageView and a TextView

Answer 1

The inflate(int resource, ViewGroup root) method return root if root is not null, thus to_add.findViewById() equals options_layout.findViewById() and it always return the Views in the first position. Change as following should help:

LinearLayout options_layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.options_list);
String[] options = getActivity().getResources().getStringArray(R.array.options);
for (int i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
    View to_add = inflater.inflate(R.layout.options_element,
                options_layout);

    TextView text = (TextView) to_add.findViewById(R.id.text);
    text.setText(options[i]);
    text.setTypeface(FontSelector.getBold(getActivity()));

}

to:

LinearLayout options_layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.options_list);
String[] options = getActivity().getResources().getStringArray(R.array.options);
for (int i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
    View to_add = inflater.inflate(R.layout.options_element,
                options_layout,false);

    TextView text = (TextView) to_add.findViewById(R.id.text);
    text.setText(options[i]);
    text.setTypeface(FontSelector.getBold(getActivity()));
    options_layout.addView(to_add);
}
