In above code in add Children method, What should I write to add child again???? ie How to add Edit Text and Spinner like it is already present there which came from XML.. please suggest any solution...

Answer 1

if you have Spinner and EditText in xml already and want to add again by probgrammatically then first remove all views from your parent layout..

like:

  parentlayout.removeAllViews();

and after that create object for Spinner and EditText and add to parent layout

  EditText edt= new EditText(this);
  Spinner sp= new Spinner(this);
  parentlayout.addView(edt);
  parentlayout.addView(sp);

Answer 2

Try this:

EditText myEdtTxt = new EditText(this);
myLayout.addView(myEdtTxt);

Spinner spinner = new Spinner(this);
myLayout.addView(spinner);
