How to use addView to add view to layout?

Question

I have read probably all posts and documentation but I still can\'t solve this issue.

I want to use addView() method to add view to the existing (running) l

Answer 1

I had the same problem and wasted several time finding the reason.

My fault was that I was adding a CustomView that had match_parent set as height.

I hope to save some precious time to anybody who did this silly annoying mistake :)

TextView tv = new TextView(this);
lytMarks.addView(tv);


CustomView cv = new CustomView(this, someObject);
lytMarks.addView(cv); // <-- This one had height = match_parent!!


EditText et = new EditText(this);
lytMarks.addView(et);
