I am trying this in two ways (a) defining my custom view as part of the Layout file. When the app runs and activity loads this layout. The custom View runs and displays the content in its position. The enclosing layout of my custom view could be any layout not just Linear. For example, if enclosing layout was linear, and has something like this 1.TextView, 2 Spinner 3. CustomView 4. TextView Each view takes the size of its content vertically including the customView. so the output on the screen would in the order mentioned above, based on the size CustomView may even push the (4) out of the window downwards.
I am not sure if what I am trying above is even possible, because I am defining in the layout to behave certain way and then trying to change it at runtime. (b) the second case is, instead of defining it as part of the layout, I am creating the customView in the onCreate of the Activity and adding it as addContentView(view) method. What this is doing is, instead of adding it to the end of of the layout, which I was expecting. CustomView appears at 0,0, (top, left) drawing on top of the textview(1) listed above. With this approach I am able to overlay my customView on every other view and based on the content size it is taking as much vertical space as needed. In this case, What I would like to know is, I could not find a way to truly add dynamically created CustomView to the layout wherein I can insert it in the order mentioned above from Activity. Is there an api like that? Thanks, Ravi.
