Android- how to programmatically wedge a view between views in layout pre-loaded from the XML?

Question

I'm developing an android app with fragments. While most of my layouts are pre-determined in the XML, I would like to programmatically insert a new view between views that were already loaded in a LinearLayout at startup.

How do I go about with this?

Thanks

Its possible to specify index while u dynamically add a view to a LinearLayout.

Set height of the first view as

android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

Set height = wrap_content for the second view in XML

Then while u are adding new View dynamically, set its height = wrap_content and add it to the parent LinearLayout like this

 parentLinearLayout.addView(childView, index);     
                 //index = position where you want to insert the new view.

It might help you. :)
