Aside from the gravity discussion that has started, I'm not sure addContentView is what you want. I think the approach you are taking now is simply stacking the CheckBoxes on top of the LinearLayout...not putting them inside it. You say you already have a vertically oriented LinearLayout? Is it defined in a layout XML file you you are setting during onCreate? Grab the LinearLayout and use addView:
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.yourLinearLayoutID); CheckBox box = new CheckBox(this); linearLayout.addView(box); CheckBox box2 = new CheckBox(this); linearLayout.addView(box2); (etc etc) On Sep 9, 2:42 pm, Bret Foreman <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to add some checkboxes to a LinearLayout at runtime.
