Adding "below" to Linear Layout LayoutParams

Question

My main (highest in hierarchy) layout is a RelativeLayout. Within it, I am programmatically creating a LinearLayout. It must have the attribute of being "below" button1. I know how to use addRule() to add this to RelativeLayout.LayoutParams, but LinearLayout.LayoutParams doesn't have that option.

You can not have below property to LinearLayout. At max you can give orientation type of Vertical or Horizontal. e.g.

LinearLayout layout = /* ... */;
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
//OR
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);

Your LinearLayout is a child to its RelativeLayout parent. LayoutParams specify the child's layout within its parent, so in this case the correct LayoutParams to use for a RelativeLayout parent is RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.
