Android Material Chip - ChipGroup with singleSelection doesn't work adding chips dynamically

Question

I am using Material Chip for first time.

Problem: I am adding chip dynamically using following code. Please check I wrote app:singleSelection="true" which is important for me. Even though its selecting multiple chips at a time.

I want to select only one chip with tick mark at a time.

XML Code:

<com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
                android:id="@+id/categoryChipsView"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                app:chipSpacing="10dp"
                app:singleSelection="true"
                app:itemSpacing="15dp"
                app:singleLine="true">
</com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup>

Java Code:

private void addChipView(String chipText) {
    View child = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row_chip_view, null);
    Chip chip = child.findViewById(R.id.chip);
    chip.setText(chipText);
    chip.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Toast.makeText(mContext, ((Chip) v).getText(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
    // This is ChipGroup view
    binding.categoryChipsView.addView(child);
}

row_chip_view.xml

<com.google.android.material.chip.Chip xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/chip"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="10dp"
    android:text="@string/app_name"
    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
    app:checkedIcon="@drawable/ic_check"
    app:chipBackgroundColor="@color/colorAccent"
    app:chipEndPadding="8dp"
    app:chipIconTint="@android:color/white"
    app:chipStartPadding="8dp"
    app:textEndPadding="5dp"
    app:textStartPadding="5dp" />

What I have tried statically, I have pasted view of row_chip_view.xml as child of ChipGroup in main xml and Its working fine. I can select only one chip at a time.

           <com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup
                android:id="@+id/categoryChipsView"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:gravity="center_vertical"
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                app:chipSpacing="10dp"
                app:singleSelection="true"
                app:itemSpacing="15dp"
                app:singleLine="true">

                <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip 
                    android:id="@+id/chip"
                    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_margin="10dp"
                    android:text="@string/app_name"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                    app:checkedIcon="@drawable/ic_check"
                    app:chipBackgroundColor="@color/colorAccent"
                    app:chipEndPadding="8dp"
                    app:chipIconTint="@android:color/white"
                    app:chipStartPadding="8dp"
                    app:textEndPadding="5dp"
                    app:textStartPadding="5dp" />

                <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip 
                    android:id="@+id/chip2"
                    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_margin="10dp"
                    android:text="@string/app_name"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                    app:checkedIcon="@drawable/ic_check"
                    app:chipBackgroundColor="@color/colorAccent"
                    app:chipEndPadding="8dp"
                    app:chipIconTint="@android:color/white"
                    app:chipStartPadding="8dp"
                    app:textEndPadding="5dp"
                    app:textStartPadding="5dp" />

                <com.google.android.material.chip.Chip 
                    android:id="@+id/chip3"
                    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
                    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_margin="10dp"
                    android:text="@string/app_name"
                    android:textColor="@android:color/white"
                    app:checkedIcon="@drawable/ic_check"
                    app:chipBackgroundColor="@color/colorAccent"
                    app:chipEndPadding="8dp"
                    app:chipIconTint="@android:color/white"
                    app:chipStartPadding="8dp"
                    app:textEndPadding="5dp"
                    app:textStartPadding="5dp" />

            </com.google.android.material.chip.ChipGroup>

BUT I WANT IT DYNAMICALLY.

Update: New Scenario

First of all I have added four chips in XML within ChipGroup and after that tried to add another three chips PROGRAMATICALLY in same ChipGroup . The first four chips is allow to select only one but last three chips allow me to select multiple. Very Weird.

Do let me know If I am missing anything.

Your help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Remove in your row_chip_view.xml the android:id attribute.

<com.google.android.material.chip.Chip 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Chip.Filter"
    .../>

And in the addChipView use:

private void addChipView(String chipText) {
    Chip chip = (Chip) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.row_chip_view, chipGroup, false);
    chip.setText(chipText);
    //...

    // This is ChipGroup view
    chipGroup.addView(chip);
}

Answer 2

Instead onClickListener use setOnCheckedChangeListener this works for me in combination with singleSelection="true"

Answer 3

Add integer id before adding Chip to ChipGroupd

    Chip chip = (Chip) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom_chip, chipGroup,
  false);
            chip.setId(i);
            chip.setText("str");
            chipGroup.addView(chip);
