WRAP_CONTENT not working after dynamically adding views

Question

I\'m trying to create a fragment that lays out a series of custom views dynamically. The main content for this layout is a RelativeLayout nested in a LinearLayout (to center

Answer 1

Android does NOT refresh layout of views with "wrap_content" once it has been displayed.

So if you add a child view, or modify the content dynamically, you're screwed. I do agree that this is a nightmare and a real flaw in Android UI!

To solve that, I've written a static class that recomputes the sizes and forces the update of the layout for the views with "wrap_content"

The code and instructions to use are available here:
