How to change LinearLayout programmaticaly to fit numbers entered to EditText without moving other parts of layout?

Im trying to create LinearLayout programmaticaly and I would want to allow user to put number range.
Now it looks like that:
But when I try to enter more digits eg. 100, 101 or 3,50 it dissapears.
I guess there is not enough space for it to be shown, but I can't figure out what is wrong. Generally I don't want to move + and - buttons when the user enters some values so I guess it should be hardcoded. There would be up to 5-6 digits only, so I need space just for it, but as I said, I can't find the place, where I can change it as my changes eiter move entire layout or doesn't do anything.
Below is my code:
LinearLayout horizontalLayout = new LinearLayout(mContext);
LinearLayout titleLayout = new LinearLayout(mContext);
LinearLayout countLayout = new LinearLayout(mContext);
ImageButton buttonAdd = new ImageButton(mContext);
ImageButton buttonSub = new ImageButton(mContext);
TextView titleTextView = new TextView(mContext);
EditText countEditText = new EditText(mContext);
final int[] currentCount = {defaultValue};
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams linearLayout = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 1f);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams utilParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
horizontalLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
horizontalLayout.setLayoutParams(params);
utilParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL;
titleLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
titleLayout.setPadding(0, pxFromDp(mContext, 16),0, pxFromDp(mContext, 16));
titleLayout.setLayoutParams(linearLayout);
countLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
countLayout.setPadding(0, pxFromDp(mContext, 16),0, pxFromDp(mContext, 16));
countLayout.setLayoutParams(linearLayout);
utilParams.setMargins(0,0,pxFromDp(mContext, 16f),0);
titleTextView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP,16);
titleTextView.setText(title);
titleTextView.setLayoutParams(utilParams);
titleLayout.addView(titleTextView);
utilParams.setMargins(pxFromDp(mContext, 16f),0,pxFromDp(mContext, 16f),0);
buttonSub.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_remove);
buttonSub.setLayoutParams(utilParams);
buttonSub.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.fsm_survey_btn));
buttonSub.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.fsm_white), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
countLayout.addView(buttonSub);
countEditText.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 16);
countEditText.setText(String.valueOf(defaultValue));
countEditText.setLayoutParams(linearLayout);
countEditText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
countLayout.addView(countEditText);
buttonAdd.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_add_24);
buttonAdd.setLayoutParams(utilParams);
buttonAdd.setBackgroundColor(mContext.getResources().getColor(R.color.fsm_survey_btn));
buttonAdd.setColorFilter(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.fsm_white), android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
countLayout.addView(buttonAdd);
horizontalLayout.addView(titleLayout);
horizontalLayout.addView(countLayout);

What you can do is to create separate LinearLayout.LayoutParams for the edittext and add addTextChangedListener to that edit text and on onTextChanged
write switch statement to increase the weight of the edittext on increase of length of the input number.

How create TextView programatically with this specifics Attributes?

I'm currently creating TextView like that:
LinearLayout myLayout = (LinearLayout) activity.findViewById(R.id.ll1);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
for(int l=0; l<4; l++)
{
pairs[l] = new TextView(context);
pairs[l].setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 16);
pairs[l].setLayoutParams(lp);
pairs[l].setId(l);
pairs[l].setText("asd");
myLayout.addView(pairs[l]);
}
Now I want set this attribute to all of this TextView:
FontFamily: cursive
SetTextSize not sp but dp (RESOLVED)
SetGravity: central_horizontal (RESOLVED)
I couldn't find a way for set those attribute when I create a TextView programatically, How can I do that?

Text size in dp can be set using setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, <float>) - see documentation [here](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setTextSize(int, float)).
As for the font family, I'm afraid I don't know - hopefully someone else can help you with this :)

In order to change the font family of a TextView use setTypeface
for instance:
Typeface tf = Typeface.create("cursive", Typeface.NORMAL);
for(int l=0; l<4; l++)
{
pairs[l] = new TextView(context);
pairs[l].setTypeface(tf);
...
}

You can set the font using Typeface object.
TextView tv = new TextView(context);
Typeface face = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
"fonts/filename.ttf");
tv.setTypeface(face);
Put the font in the assets folder of your project.

Adding Multiple Components to LinearLayout Programatically

I am trying to add multiple components into linear layout programatically. Here are the codes:
private View createCalloutView(Graphic graphic) {
LinearLayout ret = new LinearLayout(this);
ret.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
TextView reportContent = new TextView(this);
reportContent.setText(eventName + "\n" + eventBy + "\n" + eventAddress + "\n" + eventDesc
+ "\n" + eventDate + "\n" + eventTime);
reportContent.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
reportContent.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 12);
reportContent.setPadding(1, 0, 1, 0);
Button viewDtlEventBtn = new Button(this);
viewDtlEventBtn.setText("View details");
viewDtlEventBtn.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
ret.addView(reportContent);
ret.addView(viewDtlEventBtn);
return ret;
}
With these codes, I only manged to see the textview and my button is missing. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

that depends on how do you want to arrange the items in the LinearLayout. If you want to arrange the button next to the TextView, then, probably, the button width should be WRAP_CONTENT instead of FILL_PARENT. If you want to show the button under the TextView, then, your LinearLayout should have vertical as orientation (default is horizontal). Imo, the easiest way is to have your layout defined in a xml file. At least you can see the output at compile time, and use an inflater to retrieve the View's object at run time

The default orientation of linear layout is horizontal. You need to set the orientation first.
LinearLayout ret = new LinearLayout(this);
ret.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
ret.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
This will solve your problem of missing button.

You have forgot to set Layout Orientation for Linear Layout, just set it as below:
ret.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

Roboto light and Roboto bold in a TextView

Can I apply Roboto light and Roboto bold in same TextView on Android 2.3 like that?
**user** has been publish a beez
Where **user** is Roboto bold and has been publish a beez is Roboto light

Yes you can do ..
String firstWord = "user";
String secondWord = "has been publish a beez";
// Create a new spannable with the two strings
Spannable spannable = new SpannableString(firstWord+secondWord);
// Set the custom typeface to span over a section of the spannable object
spannable.setSpan( new CustomTypefaceSpan("sans-serif",CUSTOM_TYPEFACE), 0, firstWord.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
spannable.setSpan( new CustomTypefaceSpan("sans-serif-light",SECOND_CUSTOM_TYPEFACE), firstWord.length(), firstWord.length() + secondWord.length(), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE);
// Set the text of a textView with the spannable object
textView.setText( spannable );
You can use Roboto natively from Android 4.1+ like this:
android:fontFamily="sans-serif" // roboto regular
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light" // roboto light
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"

TableRow with two TextView in separate line

I have the following code:
TextView name = new TextView(this);
name.setText(venues.get(j).name);
name.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
TextView address = new TextView(this);
address.setText(venues.get(j).getFullAddress());
address.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
/* Add Button to row. */
tr.addView(name);
tr.addView(address);
And now it gives me a layout like this:
I want the TextView to be in separate lines. How do I do this?

First of all, don't use LayoutParams for Views that are going into a TableRow... use TableRow.LayoutParams.
Second (pls tell me if I misunderstood your question), if you want your edittexts to show up on different lines... that means you want them on different rows. In other words, don't put them into the same TableRow. You can put them into separate TableRows or use a LinearLayout.

Try adding addr to another TableRow.
TextView name = new TextView(this);
TextView addr = new TextView(this);
name.setText("Name");
addr.setText("Addr");
TableRow tableRow1 = (TableRow) findViewById(R.id.tableRow1);
TableRow tableRow2 = (TableRow) findViewById(R.id.tableRow2);
tableRow1.addView(name);
tableRow2.addView(addr);
