    TextView txtViewTest = (TextView) view2.findViewById(R.id.txtViewTest);
    txtViewTest.setText("World");

    //params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, view1.getId());

Requirement All i want to add multiple instances of layout_component.xml in layout_main.xml so instead of negative voting please suggest me the way via i can achieve this...thanks

Answer 1

You have made a small mistake buddy, you are assigning a wrong LayoutParam to the view2.

Replace,

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) rR2MessageBubble.getLayoutParams();

with

 RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(100,100); //or whatever width, height as per your need.

Hope you understand your mistake.

Answer 2

Probably because you set the text to "World".

TextView txtViewTest = (TextView) view2.findViewById(R.id.txtViewTest);
txtViewTest.setText("World");
