android add layout in code

Question

I have a layout created for displaying items, and I want to add this layout later in code. Kind of like when u have a layout created for list item, but my problem is that I don't need a list. At first I have just one item, and then if the user adds sth, I want to display another item. Can someone help me do this? Thx

Is there a reason you don't want to use a listview? (I'm assuming each item that you're adding is the same?). Maybe if you give us more information on what you're looking for as an end result we can provide some suggestions. — Gophermofur

Yes, I am going to display each item the same way, and I need a layout for each. (due to having textview, imageview etc.) The reason I am not using a listview is that I don't want the items that I am adding to be scrollable. They are part of another layout, which I want to add a scrolling option. — Sandra

check this code snippet. This can give you some idea.

    // this is Layout to which you want to add 
   LinearLayout myLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_layout);
   // this is what u want to add. I defined this in a layout file my_field.xml 
   View  itemView = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.my_field,null, false);
   // add it to Layout 
   myLayout.addView(itemView);

I tried this, and the layout is not added. I have to mention that myLayout.add(itemView) did not work, so I changed it in myLayout.addView(itemView), but it didn't do anything. Maybe you can't add a layout as a view? :S

That's not a problem u can add Layout as View. I am already doing the same. Here "R.layout.my_field" actually is LinearLayout which has more fields in it.

Ok, so I guess sth else is the problem. In my case, I have a LinearLayout (vertical) in wich I have TextView's, ImageView's etc. and to that layout I want to add another, at the bottom (maybe a couple of times if needed, because I am using the layout as an item). I will see and try sth out, and hopefully solve the problem. Thx anyway:)
