I have been reading about how to dynamically add an EditText field to my Linear Layout, every-time a user clicks a TextView (which has an onClick Listener attached).
I have had some mild success - I know that the EditText field is being created because when the button is clicked, all other elements move up as if something is being added to the screen.
My problem is that the EditText aren't visible and I haven't a clue why that is, so any help would be appreciated.
The the app isn't crashing so nothing to add in terms of the StackTrace and Log, as far as the app is concerned, everything is being created.
