How do I programmatically remove an existing rule that was defined in XML?

by

You can’t remove a rule because all rules are always stored in a fixed-size java array. But you can set a rule to 0. For example

layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 0);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.new_ref_LinearLayout);

EDIT (thanks to Roger Rapid):

As of API level 17, the class RelativeLayout.LayoutParams has the following method:

public void removeRule(int verb)

So you can remove a rule using the following line of code:

layoutParams.removeRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF);

And you will get exactly the same result as when ‘adding’ a zero-rule as:

layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 0);
