Create buttons in sequential order programmatically

Question

I want to parse text, and create for each word - button, but i don't know how to arrange them one after the other

String s = "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting";
String[] q = s.split(" ");
for (int i = 0; i < q.length; i++) {
    Button myButton = new Button(this);
    myButton.setText(q[i]);

    RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout1);
    layout.addView(myButton, params);

}

Answer 1

See this custom library: FlowLayout

While you're adding views inside FlowLayout, it automatically wraps when there is no space for the next item.

Answer 2

There's not much wrong about your approach, it's only that relative layout as name suggests requires child views to have some parameters to align the views relative to them e.g. above, below etc. As a result you are getting views overlapping each other and hence only the last added view is visible being on top.

Use FlowLayout instead and you'll be fine.
