Set LayoutParams.BELOW programmatically

Question

I'm trying to set LayoutParams.BELOW programmatically. Here my code:

RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this.getActivity());
    layout.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
             LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
             LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
    layout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#CCCDCDCD"));

    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this.getActivity());
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
    imageView.setLayoutParams(params);
    imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.create_template);

    AnimationDrawable frameAnimation = (AnimationDrawable) imageView.getBackground();

    if (frameAnimation != null) {
        frameAnimation.start();
    }

    TextView textView = new TextView(this.getActivity());
    params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, imageView.getId());
    textView.setLayoutParams(params);
    textView.setText("Generating information...");

    layout.addView(imageView);
    layout.addView(textView);

    return layout;

But it's not being correctly positioned. Any idea on why it is not well positioned?

The ImageView doesn't have an ID. You need to give it one. Either define some constant integer value, or use View.generateViewId(), and call setId() before using it in the layout params:

ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this.getActivity());
imageView.setId(View.generateViewId());
...
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, imageView.getId());
