Trouble with Layout of my App

Question

Please help me fix it :

xml code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
 android:id="@+id/LinearLayout2"
 android:layout_width="match_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
 android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
 android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
 android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
 tools:context=".Main_Page" >

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spinner1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    tools:listitem="@android:layout/simple_spinner_dropdown_item" />

</LinearLayout>

this is the main.xml code of my app. The code has been changed from Relative to LinearLayout

So you add the Buttons via Code in your Activity? This is not the same that the picture you posted. — kai, Nov 28 '13 at 14:40
yes because when i select different options from the spinner the components should also change. If u can suggest a better way to do it plz let me know. — Noha Philip, Nov 28 '13 at 14:42
ya it is different, i have moved the spinner to the bottom of the layout for now but i need it to be displayed on the top. — Noha Philip, Nov 28 '13 at 14:44
Try to use LinearLayout instead of RelativeLayout or must it be a RelativeLayout? — kai, Nov 28 '13 at 14:44
and can u tell me how to change the input type of EditText programmatically. — Noha Philip, Nov 28 '13 at 14:46
LinearLayout didnt help. Now the spinner completely gets covered. — Noha Philip, Nov 28 '13 at 14:48
Just explain what you like to do. Then we can help you better. — kai, Nov 28 '13 at 14:51
What i want is the spinner to remain at the top and the components that i make like TextView, EditText, etc should be below it. Note: components other than the spinner is programmatically generated. — Noha Philip, Nov 28 '13 at 15:12

Use LayoutInflator and inflate views to your main view when different values in the spinner are chosen.

//Main Layout

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/main_layout_id">

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spinner1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
    tools:listitem="@android:layout/simple_spinner_dropdown_item" />

<LinearLayout 
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/insert_Layout">
</LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

//Layout 2

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:id="@+id/layout_item_id">

    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:text="Hello, this is the inflated text :D"
              android:layout_gravity="center"
              android:gravity="center_horizontal"
              android:id="@+id/text_item_id"/>
</LinearLayout>

//call the main layout from xml

linearLayout inset_layout= (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.insert_Layout);

/create a view to inflate the layout_item (the xml with the textView created before)

View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.layout_item, mainLayout,false);

//add to the mail layout

mainLayout.addView(view);

Hope this helps :)

Yes, the code dynamically inflates layout 2 in the main layout.You can have many place holders in your main layout and inflate different layouts accordingly. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/LayoutInflater.html — Sujay, Nov 29 '13 at 05:54
