I am trying to programmatically add a simple xml file with some text and spinner views once the OnItemSelectedListener() is set off. The xml file would should show up in the middle of the screen, so I would like everything above to stay the same, and then everything below to be pushed down so everything is visible. I already put it in a scrollable layout so I don't need to worry about the screen size and what is showing.
I tried the following Stack Overflow links for guidance but neither seemed to cover the issue that I am facing at the moment: loading programmatically and loading view
This is what I have in the OnItemSelectedListener() so far:
_inclusionLayout.removeAllViews(); //The relative layout that is going to hold the xml file
View inclusionView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.patientpage_10, _inclusionLayout, false); //inflating the view within the relative layout
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);
inclusionView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
_inclusionLayout.addView(inclusionView);
_inclusionLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
Log.d("Message", "itemSelected Called"); // checking to see if the item was selected and the code executed without error
For context, this is the xml file I am trying to include:

However, with all of this, the screen just stays exactly the same and I cannot see any new views while seeing the message in the logcat implying that the whole thing ran smoothly with no errors. Please let me know what I am doing wrong/ any easier way to go about this.
Thank you!
