Android: Dynamically adding textviews to a scrollview

Question

I am working on an application that functions like a text messaging app. I am working on the layout of the app now. In the XML file I have an edit text on the top of the screen and one on the bottom of the screen. I want to dynamically create a scrollview that would be between the 2 edit texts. The scroll view would enable to scroll through multiple messages of the app. When I try to create the scrollview and textview dynamically it replaces the edittexts and they disappear.

So my question is how would I go about preventing the edittexts from disappearing and adding a scrollview in between the 2 edit texts ?

My code is like this:

   ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
   LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
   ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
   sv.addview(ll);

    TextView tv = new TextView(this);
    tv.setText("Dynamic layouts ftw!");
    ll.addView(tv);
    this.setContentView(sv);

what happen when u are running this code?

What you are asking to do is build a ListView. ListView'ss have every function you require and more. Further, with the adapters, they are pretty quick. Here is a decent turorial on using ListViews.
