Setting the text to checkbox dynamically in android

Question

I need to create checkboxes dynamically in android. I am getting the value in my code but unable to set that value to checkbox.

My Code:

CheckBox[] cbs = new CheckBox[20]; 
for(int k=0; k<stringList3.size(); k++)
{
 System.out.println("stringlist3 in for loop"+stringList3.get(0));
 arr = stringList3.get(k);
 cbs[k] = new CheckBox(getContext());
 System.out.println("arr values"+arr.get(0));
 System.out.println("arr values"+arr.get(1));
 System.out.println("arr values"+arr.get(2));
 cbs[k].setText((CharSequence) arr.get(2));
 Rl.addView(cbs[k]);
                 }

Here when I am setting the value arr.get(2) to checkbox it is not setting ...please help me regarding this... Thanks in advance

Try with constant string like "Check Box Testing" in place of (CharSequence) arr.get(2) confirm whether the problem with arr or cbs[k] try it — Yugandhar Babu

I don't know how you written remaining code, just check your code with below example.

Dynamically adding views to layout

I think in your code, the problem may be stringList3.size() returning more than 20, so that you are getting force close. Just check it once.
