How to Create CardView programmatically in android App on button click.

Code for MainActivity.java file.

package com.android_examples.cardviewprogrammatically_android_examplescom;
import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.widget.CardView;
import android.util.TypedValue;
import android.view.Gravity;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.LinearLayout.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    Button button;
    Context context;
    CardView cardview;
    LayoutParams layoutparams;
    TextView textview;
    RelativeLayout relativeLayout;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);

        context = getApplicationContext();

        relativeLayout = (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.relativelayout1);

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {

                CreateCardViewProgrammatically();

            }
        });
    }

    public void CreateCardViewProgrammatically(){

        cardview = new CardView(context);

        layoutparams = new LayoutParams(
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
        );

        cardview.setLayoutParams(layoutparams);

        cardview.setRadius(15);

        cardview.setPadding(25, 25, 25, 25);

        cardview.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.MAGENTA);

        cardview.setMaxCardElevation(30);

        cardview.setMaxCardElevation(6);

        textview = new TextView(context);

        textview.setLayoutParams(layoutparams);

        textview.setText("CardView Programmatically");

        textview.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 25);

        textview.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

        textview.setPadding(25,25,25,25);

        textview.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

        cardview.addView(textview);

        relativeLayout.addView(cardview);

    }

}

Code for activity_main.xml layout file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
