How to add a button control to an android xml view at runtime?

Question

I have an android xml layout, main.xml. I would like to add controls to this layout at runtime (I would like to add a series of additional linear layouts that contain button

Answer 1

just try this:

LinearLayout mainLinearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.layout.llmain);

now create button dynamically like this

 Button btn1 = new Button(this);
 btn1.setText=("Button 1");
 mainLinearLayout .addView(btn1);

now if you want to add onether linearlayout then add it below button then

 LinearLayout llinner = new LinearLayout(this);

 Button btn2 = new Button(this);
 btn2.setText=("Button 2");
mainLinearLayout .addView(btn2);

llinner.addView(btn2 );

mainLinearLayout .addView(llinner);
