Adding array of textviews dynamically to linear layout

android, layout, textview

Solution

You need to create new TextViews to put into the TextView array and you are skipping the first index (`pairs[0]`) which will lead to trouble later:

pairs=new TextView[num_match];
for(int l=0; l<num_match; l++)
{
    pairs[l] = new TextView(this);
    pairs[l].setTextSize(15);
    pairs[l].setLayoutParams(lp);
    pairs[l].setId(l);
    pairs[l].setText(m1[l + 1]+" - "+m2[l + 1]);
    myLayout.addView(pairs[l]);
}

From your comments, I included this simple working example to help you:

public class Example extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        LinearLayout myLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_layout);
        LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams( LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        TextView[] pairs=new TextView[4];
        for(int l=0; l<4; l++)
        {
            pairs[l] = new TextView(this);
            pairs[l].setTextSize(15);
            pairs[l].setLayoutParams(lp);
            pairs[l].setId(l);
            pairs[l].setText((l + 1) + ": something");
            myLayout.addView(pairs[l]);
        }

    }
}

With the layout `main.xml`:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/my_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" />
