</RelativeLayout> 

• This is my main xml:

  <ScrollView       xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"       android:layout_width="match_parent"       android:layout_height="wrap_content">    <LinearLayout        android:id="@+id/container_destacado"        android:layout_width="match_parent"        android:layout_height="match_parent"        android:orientation="vertical" >             <!-- Inflate multiple xml file here -->        </LinearLayout> </ScrollView> 

Answer 1

You could use something like

LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);  //to get the MainLayout View view = inflater.inflate(container_destacado, null); ... //Avoid pass null in the root it ignores spaces in the child layout  View inflatedLayout= inflater.inflate(R.layout.yourLayout, (ViewGroup) view, false); containerDestacado.addView(inflatedLayout); 

Answer 2

You can implement this like below:

LayoutInflater linf; LinearLayout rr;  linf = (LayoutInflater) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(         Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE); linf = LayoutInflater.from(activity.this);  rr = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.container_destacado);  for (int i = 1; i < NoOfTimes; i++) {      final View v = linf.inflate(R.layout.item, null);     rr.addView(v); }
