Hi

And if I just add a ScrollView for my listview it dipslay the next picture.
And if I change android:layout_height="fill_parent" to android:layout_height="wrap_content" it's the same display.

Hi all

I can't see this code working

As output I only see "Static Button".

I start a blank project, replaced main.xml with that one provided by minusplus and added the java code after " setContentView(R.layout.main);" in the java file.

Any suggestion?

Mates. I had also this problem.

If using Eclipse as a compiler, when You want to use

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

it suggest to add

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

But this is wrong import for TableRow. Insted, You should use:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

import android.widget.TableRow.LayoutParams;
Parsed in 0.032 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

So just add this line to your imports and everything should work fine

The buttons are all created dynamically

Button b = new Button(this);

How do you add a listener to each button independently since they don't have a specific name ?

divestoclimb · by **divestoclimb** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 9:42 pm

If you want to add the listener right after the button is created, just call setOnClickListener() on b

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

b.setOnClickListener(new Button.OnClickListener() {
 
  public void onClick(View v) {
 
    // Handle click
 
  }
 
});

Otherwise, you'd either have to make the button object a class member variable so you can access it later, or assign an ID to it with setId() so you can call findViewById() and retrieve it.

Does anyone know how I account for adding things to a specific column (I have 4 columns in my tablelayout), as well as spanning. Also, How do I account for adding to a specific row? In other words if I have 4 rows static, can I insert between rows 1 and 2? Is this possible? Thanks!

zehunter · by **zehunter** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 11:55 am

hi everyone,

i'm not exactly using the same code, but i get inspired by this one.

i can add button dynamicly, and delete them... but when i quit and restart application, all vanish :-(

so, i'm looking for a solution to save dynamic button, and to be able to recreate them when user quit the application, and restart it again...

thanks in advance for your help,

We can implement using for loop??
Dynamically adding rows

gazzaaa87 · by **gazzaaa87** » Wed Mar 03, 2010 12:28 pm

Yes does anyone know how to implement this within a for loop - if you have 50 rows you want to add it would be ugly to repeat these steps for each one.

Incidentally thank you elmuSSo - that solution fixed the problem most people had in this thread. It would have been nicer if the original poster had tested his own tutorial before posting.

Thanks.

Hello plusminus,

Is there any way through which I can know the number of Table Row inside the Table Layout? I want to dynamically keep on adding table rows and remove any one from middle. I am not sure how can I get the index of the row on which I will click.

Please help.

Thnx

Pria

The tutorial was "Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008" at the time of posting it did work. Things change over time and as such you have to make sure you read the date and understand that there may be differences. If it has been over two years, it is almost a guarantee that you will need to change a few things to make them work successfully. Once you get more familiar with Android though, you will feel good about being able to spot the changes that you need to make on your own and it will bring a smile to your face. (Right now I am at the smirk stage... not quite fully able to smile yet.)
