How to add a view to the top of a linear layout in code?

Question

I need to add an admob adview to a linear layout in code but I need to insert it at the top of the layout, not the bottom.

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

I was trying to do it as well, but using only LinearLayout it always added the view at the bottom, no matter which index I passed to addView.

I wrapped the LinearLayout in a RelativeLayout, then you do that:

relativeLayout.addView(adView);
adView.setId(View.generateViewId());
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams llParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)linearLayout.getLayoutParams();
llParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, adView.getId());

That is working for me.
