android - Display 3 buttons in a row IN a scroll view -

at moment have list of buttons showing in scrollview buttons on left hand side , go down in 1 column.

i these buttons shown in columns of 3, 3 buttons in 1 row when add row dynamically

here current code have display these buttons

 // find scrollview     scrollview scrollview = (scrollview)       findviewbyid(r.id.scrollview);  // create linearlayout element     linearlayout linearlayout = new linearlayout(this);     linearlayout.setorientation(linearlayout.vertical);  // add buttons       (int = 0; < 3; i++) {          linearlayout.setlayoutparams(new viewgroup.layoutparams(viewgroup.layoutparams.wrap_content, viewgroup.layoutparams.wrap_content));           (int j = 0; j < 20; j++) {             button button = new button(this);             button.settext("some text");             linearlayout.addview(button);         }     }    // add linearlayout element scrollview     scrollview.addview(linearlayout);       } 

i tried setting layout parameters buttons didn't change anything

any ideas?

thanks

try logic

// find scrollview     scrollview scrollview = (scrollview)findviewbyid(r.id.scrollview);  // create linearlayout element     linearlayout linearlayout = new linearlayout(this);     linearlayout.setorientation(linearlayout.vertical);     linearlayout.setlayoutparams(new viewgroup.layoutparams(viewgroup.layoutparams.wrap_content, viewgroup.layoutparams.wrap_content));  // add buttons       (int = 0; < 20; i++) {      linearlayout linearlayoutchild = new linearlayout(this);      linearlayoutchild.setorientation(linearlayout.horizontal);      linearlayoutchild.setlayoutparams(new viewgroup.layoutparams(viewgroup.layoutparams.wrap_content, viewgroup.layoutparams.wrap_content));         (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {           button button = new button(this);           button.settext("some text");           linearlayoutchild.addview(button);         }      linearlayout.addview(linearlayoutchild);     }   // add linearlayout element scrollview     scrollview.addview(linearlayout); 

unless , until required prefer gridview or recyclerview on dynamic view adding
