title: Android container programmatically
body: <p>I am performing an HTTP request and getting results. Then I want to scroll through these results and create the following for each result:
  (RL = Relative Layout)</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lxbhp.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>A Relative Layout (RL in the pic) with a TextView and an ImageView on the inside. I then want to add all of these 'containers' to a List and pass them off for interpretation.</p>
  
  <pre><code>//inside onPostExecute - given a list
  
  List&lt;RelativeLayout&gt; containers = new ArrayList&lt;RelativeLayout&gt;();
  
  for(i=0; i&lt;alist.size();i++){
    RelativeLayout newLayout = new RelativeLayout(getApplicationContext());
    TextView tv = new TextView(getApplicationContext());
    ImageView iv = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
    newLayout.addView(tv);
    newLayout.addView(iv);
  
    containers.add(newLayout);
  }
  
  otherClass.send(containers);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I essentially want to programmatically create a container, put two things in it, and send it off for further processing. </p>
  
  <p>(Is this possible, or is there a better way to do this?) *EDITED</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help, I have spent a lot of time on this already</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>*I have tried this, it throws an exception when trying to pass the list of layouts I think</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Just going to add more here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public void send(List&lt;RelativeLayout&gt; containers) {
  
          for(int i=0; i&lt;containers.size(); i++){
              RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(mContext);
              rl = containers.get(i);
              icons_row.addView(rl);
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the exception</p>
