LinearLayout addView doesn't work properly

Question

I\'m having issues with the addView method from LinearLayout. I don\'t know why, but if I add three views only the first one is displayed. Here is the code:

Answer 1

Use the hierarchy viewer to check if there really is only 1 view added, or that you can see only one view. For instance, this line android:layout_below="@id/post_list_item_footer_text" might be troublesome if you repeat it? I don't know the expected behaviour for that...

Answer 2

you do not declare the LinearLayout orientation... by default is Horizontal, try setting the orientation Vertical

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/post_list_item_comments"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="40dip"
    android:layout_below="@id/post_list_item_footer_text"
    android:visibility="gone"/>
