I want to dynamically add text views in my app depending on the information I receive from the database. I am taking a reference to the linear layout and then instantiating text views in a loop, setting LayoutParams to them and then adding them to the the layout all this is done inside a static inner fragment class. I have gone through almost every solution and I am doing the same thing as others did but when I run my app on device I don't see the dynamically added views. Please help me solve this issue. Here is a copy of my code:
public static class PlaceholderFragment extends Fragment {
/**
* The fragment argument representing the section number for this
* fragment.
*/
private static final String ARG_SECTION_NUMBER = "section_number";
final int PICKFILE_RESULT_CODE = 1;
String FilePath="";
UploadFileAsync u;
public PlaceholderFragment() {
}
/**
* Returns a new instance of this fragment for the given section
* number.
*/
public static PlaceholderFragment newInstance(int sectionNumber) {
PlaceholderFragment fragment = new PlaceholderFragment();
Bundle args = new Bundle();
args.putInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER, sectionNumber);
fragment.setArguments(args);
return fragment;
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView;
// TextView textView = (TextView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.section_label);
// textView.setText(getString(R.string.section_format, getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER)));
int sectionNumber = getArguments().getInt(ARG_SECTION_NUMBER);
switch (sectionNumber){
case 1: rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_faculty_home_info, container, false);
facultyInfoFragment(rootView);
break;
case 2: rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_faculty_home_exam, container, false);
facultyExamFragment(rootView);
break;
case 3: rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_faculty_home_info, container, false);
facultyEventsFragment(rootView);
break;
default: rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_faculty_home_info, container, false);
}
return rootView;
}
public void facultyInfoFragment(View rootView){
TextView facultyInfoName = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.faculty_info_name_view);
facultyInfoName.setText("Ravi Singh");
TextView facultyInfoID = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.faculty_info_ID_view);
facultyInfoID.setText("12345");
TextView facultyInfoDept = (TextView)rootView.findViewById(R.id.faculty_info_dept_view);
facultyInfoDept.setText("CSE");
Button facultyInfoCaddButton = (Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.faculty_info_cADD_button);

// this is the part where I dynamically try to add views
