Adding Buttons Dynamically In Relativelayout To Linearlayout

When the user inputs a word, he creates a number of Buttons equal to the length of the word. For example: if user inputs 'aaaa' he will create 4 Buttons, side by side, in the first

Solution 1:

rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, myButton.getId());

This line says that myButton should be added to right of myButton, which doesn't make any sense.

simple way to resolve this is to use the following line instead

rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, myButton.getId()-1);

But this isn't the best way to do this, you should use LinearLayout with horizontal orientation instead.

Solution 2:

The structure should be simple

Just need to add your buttons in 3 different linear layout with orientation horizontal.

Like

<Relative layout>{
<LinearLayout global container with vertical orientation >{
<LinearLayout for'a'type buttons container with horizontal orientation>
<LinearLayout for'b'type buttons container with horizontal orientation>
<LinearLayout for'c'type buttons container with horizontal orientation>
}
}

Solution 3:

You guys are right. It is much easier using a LinearLayout. For those interested

finalLinearLayoutlinearLayout= (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.ll_bttn_words);

final LinearLayout.LayoutParamsllp=newLinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

button_test.setOnClickListener(
        newView.OnClickListener()
            {
                publicvoidonClick(View view)
                {
                    LinearLayoutlinearLayout2=newLinearLayout(view.getContext());

                    linearLayout2.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);

                    LinearLayout.LayoutParamsrlp=newLinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                                        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                                        LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);      

                    intsize= enter_txt.getText().toString().length();
                    for (int i=0; i<size; i++)
                    {
                        ButtonmyButton=newButton(view.getContext());
                        myButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button);
                        linearLayout2.addView(myButton, rlp);
                     }
                     linearLayout.addView(linearLayout2, llp);
