Answer 1

you are not setting the Layout parameters, Layout parameter says how the control will be shown

final CheckBox female = new CheckBox(this);
female.setText("Female");
female .setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
attractedTo.addView(female);
