Android: Add two text views programmatically

android, android-linearlayout, java

Solution

As gpmoo7 said you need to create every time a new view in the loop

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.linear);

    LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear);

    String[] informations = new String[] { "one", "two", "three" };
    TextView informationView;

    for (int i = 0; i < informations.length; i++) {
        View line = new View(this);
        line.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(1, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
        line.setBackgroundColor(0xAA345556);
        informationView = new TextView(this);
        informationView.setText(informations[i]);
        layout.addView(informationView, 0);
        layout.addView(line, 1);
    }

}

Problem

I am trying to add Views to a linear layout programmatically. ``` LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.info); String [] informations = topOffer.getInformations(); TextView informationView; View line = new View(this); line.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(1, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT)); line.setBackgroundColor(R.color.solid_history_grey); for (int i = 0; i < informations.length; i++) { informationView = new TextView(this); informationView.setText(informations[i]); layout.addView(informationView, 0); layout.addView(line, 1); } ``` First, I have only added the informationsView, and everything worked fine. Butt after adding also the line-View, it crashed with the following error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. So I tried addView(View v, int index), but it crashed with the same message... Has somebody a solution? Thanks, Martin
