I would like to create a method which returns a RelativeLayout created dynamically. To be clear, let's use this simplified example:

private RelativeLayout createLayout() { RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(activity); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); layout.setLayoutParams(params); TextView tv1 = new TextView(activity); tv1.setText("Text 1"); TextView tv2 = new TextView(activity); tv2.setText("Text 2"); TextView tv3 = new TextView(activity); tv3.setText("Text 3"); layout.addView(tv1); layout.addView(tv2); layout.addView(tv3); return layout; } 

Now I want to position these TextViews relatively to each other. For that I have the idea to use a LayoutParams with the addRule method.

But this method requires an ID, e.g. addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, tv2Id). It means that I have to set an ID for each TextViews.

My problem is that the createLayout method will be called several times, so the question is:

Do I have to set different IDs for the TextViews each time the method is called in order to avoid conflicts ? If so, how can I do that ?

Most generally, Is there a better solution for doing it ?

EDIT

The idea behind this is to have a kind of ListView, where each item contains a Map (that can be shown or hidden).

Problem: the Map can't be scroll if it is inside a ListView (at least I did not manage to do that).

For that, I have decided to use a ScrollView and a LinearLayout to copy the behaviour of a ListView. This way the Map can be scrolled correctly and now, all I have to do is to create the items dynamically
