how to add a view in another view using layout inflatter

I created mainLayout with two buttons

add: to add other layout

remove : to remove other layout.

    <Button
             android:id="@+id/btnAdd"
             android:textStyle="bold"

             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
             android:text="Add View"
             android:onClick="addView" />

      <Button
             android:id="@+id/btnRemove"
             android:textStyle="bold"

             android:layout_width="fill_parent"
             android:layout_height="wrap_content"
             android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
             android:text="Remove View"
             android:onClick="removeView" />

now i wrote following code to add the view when I click on addView button 

               LayoutInflater inflater= (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    view=inflater.inflate(R.layout.other_layout,null);


    mainLayout.addView(view);

the view is added below the main layout. But I want the view to add right below addView button(and above removeView button and not in the bottom of main Layout)

How can I do that?

Create a new layout that you wish to add using the <merge> tag like:

<merge ...>
   //your layout
</merge>

Add the <include> layout with visibility gone(or invisible) in your primary layout. And by handling the event that you want you can simply adjust the visibility the way you like.

Best way to reuse layouts in Android is by using <include> tag. Check here for more ways of using this: Re-using layouts with include tag

add a framelayout between the two buttons.

Then on runtime inflate your view into the framelayout.

LayoutInflater inflater= (LayoutInflater)this.getSystemService (LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);     view=inflater.inflate(R.layout.other_layout,null);  
    myframeLayout.addView(view);
