Inserting many views into one layout without them overflowing to the end of the screen

I'm looking for a way that I can dynamically add views into a layout (currently a LinearLayout) and that they won't overflow into the end of the screen and be hidden.

I can't use ScrollViews since it has to look like one sentence (It's a "fill the blanks" question).

I'm just looking for an idea on how to do this, not the code itself.

Thanks in advance, Shay.

If you are using linear layout than use linear layout with weights:

For example: You have a LinearLayout with vertical orientation and you have 2 ImageViews inside it and you want these ImageViews always to take equal space.

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:weightSum="2" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_gravity="center">

You can set the layout_weight of each ImageView to 1 and the weightSum in LinearLayout to 2 to achieve this.

<ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_height="0dp"/>

This will work correctly for any device without overflow into the end of the screen and be hidden
