If it's not important to use a RelativeLayout, you could use a LinearLayout, and do this:

LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

Doing this allows you to avoid the addRule method you've tried. You can simply use addView() to add new TextViews.

Complete code:

String[] textArray = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four"};
LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
setContentView(linearLayout);
linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);        
for( int i = 0; i < textArray.length; i++ )
{
    TextView textView = new TextView(this);
    textView.setText(textArray[i]);
    linearLayout.addView(textView);
}
