    </LinearLayout>

    <!-- </RelativeLayout> -->

</LinearLayout>

But as per the new requirement we need to add the check boxes dynamically. Like need to fetch the options from the API call and convert it as check boxes in the view. I spent lots of time in it. Can someone suggest a method to solve this.

Our layout should be like this. In a list view we are displaying employee details and for each employee record the qualification should be loaded from the API call or database.

      [Reviewer Name (Editable)]       
               Employee Lest           
---------------------------------------
Employee1                    [Click Me]

Male (0)          Female ( )
Salary : [5999 (editable)]
Qualification
[X]BA
[ ]BSc
[ ]Matriculation
[ ]Other
[Submit Button]
---------------------------------------
Employee2                    [Click Me]

Male (0)          Female ( )
Salary : [5999 (editable)]
Qualification
[X]BA
[ ]BSc
[ ]Matriculation
[ ]Other
[Submit Button]
---------------------------------------
Employee3                    [Click Me]

Male (0)          Female ( )

Answer 1

LinearLayout featuresTable = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.failure_reasonslist);
// use loop 
CheckBox feature1 = new CheckBox(this);
featuresTable.addView(feature1 );
