Dynamically adding content to RelativeLayout

Question

Since I\'m still just learning Android (and it appears Amazon says it\'ll be 2 months till I get the Hello, Android book) I\'m still playing around with doing simple things.

Answer 1

It looks like you might be adding the view to the root of the layout xml instead of the RelativeLayout.

You could try:

RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.my_layout);
layout.addView(addIcon());
