How to force LinearLayout to draw objects in more than one dimension?

Question

Hi all,

I need to populate a View with a data from adapter which contains some number of strings. The problem is that I don't know how many of the strings will be there. So my idea was to use LinearLayout to store data.

But even if I reserve enough space for this data (eventually I will draw it in ScrollView), LinearLayout use only horizontal perspective (drawing Strings to the end of line), and not uses additional space beyond.

My intention is to draw to the end of line, and draw next line... till end of data.

Many thanks for your help and time!

If you use a TextView for each string, check that the orientation of your LinearLayout is vertical android:orientation="vertical"
