I've got a button that when tapped, creates a RelativeLayout with simple Views like text in it. They're all to be contained in a vertical linear layout.

When tapping in succession, multiple relative layouts get created, with the latest layout created stacked below the previous one. I would, however, like to reverse this order - the latest layout gets stacked ABOVE the previous one.

Relative layouts don't have attributes like layout_below etc, however. The only messy way I can do this is with a grid layout, with the latest ones having a row number less than the previous one. Again, this is messy and consumes unnecessarily memory by preloading a bunch of invisible rows.

Does anyone have an elegant way of doing this? I would be extremely grateful!

    Are you using .addView(View view) to add views to your layout? If yes, you can use addView(View view, int index), with index 0 to add it to the top. Commented Dec 28, 2015 at 15:18
  • Thank you so much. I was completely unaware that that parameter existed. It works as I intend it to now. Go ahead and answer the question, I'll mark it as the right one. Commented Dec 28, 2015 at 15:26

If you are using addView(View view) to inflate views to your layout, you can use 

addView(View child, int index)

with index 0 to add it to the top.
