Is it possible to add Views in code?

Question

We are creating this Bar machine where the machine is hooked up to a server. From a client (in our case an Android application), you can mix your drink.

Problem is that we started out with 4 different liquids. But if we want the project to be more dynamic, we want to be able to have more or less than 4 liquids in the machine.

In our app we have for each liquid a Seekbar and textviews for displaying fluid name and volume while dragging the Seekbar.

The app client receives fluid information from the server.

If we wish to have let's say 5 fluids, can I somehow add more seekbars and textviews from the code? I'm having difficulty seeing that, because with 4 liquids all Views are made in the xml-file with RelativeLayouts.

Have searched for it but have only seen ListViews but my UI is more complicated than plain textviews.

yes, it is possible ... use google to find similar questions here before asking — Selvin, Apr 30 '15 at 09:21

ListView use an ListAdapter that you have to implement, the ListAdapter can be used for anything (not only TextView).

Android ListView

If you want to add a view to a ViewGroup (LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, ...), you can also use :
