Android: Adding a Button to a ScrollView programmatically

Question

I have a ScrollView containing a number of buttons and textviews.

I wish to insert a new button midway (index 3)on the scroll view but get the error, "ScrollView can host only one direct child"

Is this not possible?

Button b = new Button(this);
scrView.AddView(b,3);

????

Put the sub-views in a layout like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout then put the layout in the ScrollView. Add your views to the layout rather than the ScrollView.

No you can't add more then one view in scollview as you know now "ScrollView can host only one direct child"

you would definalty have a linear layout in scollview where you would have added other buttons previously so add new one in that......

how about to remove the child of the scrollview first... and then add the new component into it. :D which means, the scrollview still has only ONE single view. right ? @DheereshSingh
