How to make two buttons on the same row in eclipse programmatically?

LinearLayout table = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);
btnControl = new Button(this);
btnControl.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
btnControl.setPadding(0,40,0,40);//x,y,w,h
btnControl.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#1C344E"));
btnControl.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
setMargins(btnControl, 50, 50, 50, 50);
btnLogs = new Button(this);
btnLogs.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(380, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
btnLogs.setPadding(0,40,0,40);//x,y,w,h
btnLogs.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#1C344E"));
btnLogs.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
setMargins(btnLogs, 50, 50, 50, 50);
btnLogs.setId(5);
btnLogs.setOnClickListener(this);
btnTermLogs = new Button(this);
btnTermLogs.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(380, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
btnTermLogs.setPadding(0,40,0,40);//x,y,w,h
btnTermLogs.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#CC6675"));
btnTermLogs.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
setMargins(btnLogs, 50, 50, 50, 50);
btnTermLogs.setId(6);
btnTermLogs.setOnClickListener(this);
btnLogout = new Button(this);
btnLogout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
btnLogout.setPadding(0,40,0,40);//x,y,w,h
btnLogout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#CC6675"));
btnLogout.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
table.addView(btnLogs);
table.addView(btnTermLogs);
I want the two buttons to be aligned together horizontally. However it just align themselves vertically which i dont want.
My buttons look like this:
what i want is to look like this:

Try this below function. It will help
public void addButtons(){
LinearLayout table = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);
LinearLayout linearLayout1 = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout1.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams LayoutParamsview = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
Button button1 = new Button(this);
button1.setText("Btn 1");
button1.setLayoutParams(LayoutParamsview);
linearLayout1.addView(button1);
table.addView(linearLayout1);
//
LinearLayout linearLayout2 = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout2.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
Button button2 = new Button(this);
button2.setText("Btn 2");
button2.setLayoutParams(LayoutParamsview);
Button button3 = new Button(this);
button3.setText("Btn 3");
button3.setLayoutParams(LayoutParamsview);
linearLayout2.addView(button2);
linearLayout2.addView(button3);
table.addView(linearLayout2);
//
LinearLayout linearLayout3 = new LinearLayout(this);
linearLayout3.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
Button button4 = new Button(this);
button4.setText("Btn 4");
button4.setLayoutParams(LayoutParamsview);
linearLayout3.addView(button4);
table.addView(linearLayout3);
}

Horizontal linear layout supports left to right widgets approach, When
app developer selects horizontal orientation in linear layout then it
will automatically start adding components and widgets to left to
right side after adding them. So here is the complete step by step
tutorial for Creating horizontal linearlayout programmatically
android.
Write this code
//Creating LinearLayout.
LinearLayout Horizontallinearlayout = new LinearLayout(this);
//Setting up LinearLayout Orientation
Horizontallinearlayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
LayoutParams Horizontallinearlayoutlayoutparams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
setContentView(Horizontallinearlayout, Horizontallinearlayoutlayoutparams);
LayoutParams LayoutParamsview = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//Creating textview .
Button button1 = new Button(this);
Button button2 = new Button(this);
//Adding text to TextView.
button1.setText("First Button");
button2.setText("Second Button");
button1.setLayoutParams(LayoutParamsview);
button2.setLayoutParams(LayoutParamsview);
//Adding textview to linear layout using Add View function.
Horizontallinearlayout.addView(button1);
Horizontallinearlayout.addView(button2);
Hope this helps you

You should use setLayoutParams
Add setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
Set the layout parameters associated with this view. These supply
parameters to the parent of this view specifying how it should be
arranged. There are many subclasses of ViewGroup.LayoutParams, and
these correspond to the different subclasses of ViewGroup that are
responsible for arranging their children.
Code Structure
LinearLayout table = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearlayout);
table.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
Button Btn1 = new Button(Activity.this);
Btn1.setText("Button 1");
LinearLayout.LayoutParams childParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
childParam.weight = 0.5f;
Btn1.setLayoutParams(childParam);
Button Btn2 = new Button(Activity.this);
Btn2.setText("Button 2");
LinearLayout.LayoutParams childParam2 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
childParam2.weight = 0.5f;
Btn2.setLayoutParams(childParam2);
table.addView(Btn1);
table.addView(Btn2);
Respected OP

You can create another XML file, that contains a horizontal LinearLayout, then inflate it and insert the two buttons into it, and then add the whole horizontal LinearLayout to the vertical LinearLayout:
Create an XML file e.g. horizontal_layout.xml:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/horizontal_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
// You will insert the buttons programmatically.
</LinearLayout>
In your Activity use this method to inflate the Layout:
LinearLayout verticalLinearLayout = rootView.findViewById(R.id.vertical_linear_layout);
// Add the first vertical Button regularly.
Button firstVerticalButton = new Button(Activity.this);
firstVerticalButton.setText("Vertical");
verticalLinearLayout.addView(firstVerticalButton);
// Inflate the horizontal LinearLayout and add the two horizontal buttons.
LinearLayout horizontalLinearLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.horizontal_layout,
linearLayout, false);
Button horizontalOne = new Button(Activity.this);
horizontalOne.setText("Horizontal");
LinearLayout.LayoutParams childParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
childParam1.weight = 0.5f;
horizontalOne.setLayoutParams(childParam);
Button horizontalTwo = new Button(Activity.this);
horizontalTwo.setText("Horizontal");
LinearLayout.LayoutParams childParam2 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
childParam1.weight = 0.5f;
horizontalTwo.setLayoutParams(childParam2);
horizontalLinearLayout.addView(horizontalOne);
horizontalLinearLayout.addView(horizontalTwo);
// Insert the inflated layout to the main layout.
verticalLinearLayout.addView(horizontalLinearLayout);
// Add the second vertical Button
Button secondVerticalButton = new Button(Activity.this);
secondVerticalButton.setText("Vertical");
verticalLinearLayout.addView(secondVerticalButton);

use table.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL); .
Hope it Helps.

Android layout dynamically issue

Trying to dynamically add a textView and a button into a LinearLayout, then add this layout into a main layout that setContentView use
So its something like this
T - text view
B - button
Ltb - layout that contains T and B
Lm - Main layout that contains Ltb
Then use this.setContentView(Lm) to show to result
Roles:
T must be on the left.
B must be on right of the screen within the layout
All element above are declared dynamically, without using layout xml
Actual result:
Display fine. but when I type in text that is longer than the screen width, the Button got pushed outside of the screen and gone.
Problem, is it something my dynamic layout doing wrong ?
Code here:
public SearchBar(Context c){
et=new EditText(c);
bt=new Button(c);
et.setHint("added et");
bt.setText("added btn");
ll=new LinearLayout(c);
setLinearLayout();
et.setLayoutParams(flowLeft());
bt.setLayoutParams(flowRight());
ll.addView(et);
ll.addView(bt);
}
private RelativeLayout.LayoutParams flowRight(){
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
//params.weight = 1.0f;
//params.gravity=Gravity.RIGHT;
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
return params;
}
private RelativeLayout.LayoutParams flowLeft(){
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
//params.weight = 1.0f;
//params.gravity=Gravity.RIGHT;
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
return params;
}
private void setLinearLayout(){
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
ll.setLayoutParams(params);
}

// try this way, hope this will help you...
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout ltb = new LinearLayout(this);
TextView T = new TextView(this);
Button B =new Button(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams ltbParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams TParms = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1f);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams BParms = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
T.setLayoutParams(TParms);
B.setLayoutParams(BParms);
T.setText("Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text Demo Text");
B.setText("Button");
ltb.addView(T);
ltb.addView(B);
ltb.setLayoutParams(ltbParams);
setContentView(ltb);
}

Do like this. This may help you.
Ltb.setWeightSum(100);
Ltb.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
T.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,50));
B.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(0,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,50));

how to arrange button at bottom of scrollview programatically

Here is my code to display button at bottom of scroll view programmatically.but only scrollview is displaying.button is not displaying on the screen.how to fix this.
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
ll.setLayoutParams(lp);
ScrollView scrollView = new ScrollView(this);
TableLayout resultLayout = new TableLayout(this);
resultLayout.setStretchAllColumns(true);
resultLayout.setShrinkAllColumns(true);
scrollView.addView(resultLayout);
ll.addView(scrollView);
Button btn = new Button(this);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams blp = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
btn.setLayoutParams(blp);
btn.setText("Click Me");
//ll.addView(rl1);
ll.addView(btn);
setContentView(ll);
screen of scroll view which contains

Try this approach... Change your ll (Linear Layout) to relative layout then put the properties for button to attach at layout bottom and and for scroll view to attach above button....hope you get my point....

Change your current layout LinearLayout with RelativeLayout and use this params. it will work
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);

Just Add the Footer to the Scroll View and then get the button as you wish.
Button btn = new Button(this);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams blp = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
btn.setLayoutParams(blp);
btn.setText("Click Me");
Then Add the view to your Scroll View.
ll.addFooterView(btn);

fixed button on the linearlayout

A have the button on the bottom of linear layout. The other content in this layout may change its height. Due to this the button moves up. How to make the button to be "fixed" on the layout?

you have to use RelativeLayout....
dynamic of your code
RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this);
LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
rl.setLayoutParams(params);
Button button = new Button(this);
button.setText("Previous");
LayoutParams params1 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params1.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
button.setLayoutParams(params1);
rl.addView(button);

Android button layout

I have recently coded my button to be aligned to the right of the screen and it seems to not want to work.
I have also checked to see if my parent layout is set to cover the whole width of the screen and it is.
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//Vertical Layout - For the layout of the newSheetLayout.
newSheetLayoutV = new LinearLayout(this);
newSheetLayoutV.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
//Horizontal layout - nested in Vertical layout. Used for the next, back and save buttons.
newSheetButtonLayoutH = new LinearLayout(this);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
//Vertical Layout - For the layout of the newSheetLayout.
dataShowV = new LinearLayout(this);
dataShowV.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
//Horizontal layout - nested in the dataShow V. Used for the data entry objects.
dataShowH = new LinearLayout(this);
dataShowH.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
//Next button.
nextButton = new Button(this);
nextButton.setText("NEXT >");
nextButton.setOnClickListener(nextListener);
//Back button.
backButton = new Button(this);
backButton.setText("< BACK");
backButton.setOnClickListener(backListener);
backButton.setEnabled(false);
//Save button.
saveButton = new Button(this);
saveButton.setText("Save");
saveButton.setOnClickListener(saveListener);
saveButton.setEnabled(false);
//Addition of the buttons to the button view in order that needs to be seen.
newSheetButtonLayoutH.addView(backButton);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.addView(nextButton);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.addView(saveButton);
//Layout Param's for the buttons.
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.setLayoutParams(params);
//Set save to anchor right.
LinearLayout.LayoutParams saveButtonParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
saveButtonParam.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;
saveButton.setLayoutParams(saveButtonParam);
//Add all the layout Views to the main layout view.
newSheetLayoutV.addView(dataShowV);
newSheetLayoutV.addView(newSheetButtonLayoutH);
newSheetLayoutV.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);
setContentView(newSheetLayoutV);
}
If it is something simple and I'm very blind to the solution, I will punish myself accordingly.
Thank you for your help.

try
saveButton.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,Gravity.RIGHT);
if you are using xml and your need is not to do it in dynamic way then do
android:layout_gravity="right"
Edit:
i think this is what you want
LinearLayout newSheetLayoutV,dataShowV,dataShowH,newSheetButtonLayoutH,newlayout;
Button nextButton,backButton,saveButton;
//RelativeLayout ;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
newSheetLayoutV = new LinearLayout(this);
newSheetLayoutV.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
//Horizontal layout - nested in Vertical layout. Used for the next, back and save buttons.
newSheetButtonLayoutH = new LinearLayout(this);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
newlayout = new LinearLayout(this);
newlayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
newlayout.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
newlayout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
//newSheetButtonLayoutH = new RelativeLayout(this);
//Vertical Layout - For the layout of the newSheetLayout.
dataShowV = new LinearLayout(this);
dataShowV.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
//Horizontal layout - nested in the dataShow V. Used for the data entry objects.
dataShowH = new LinearLayout(this);
dataShowH.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
//Next button.
nextButton = new Button(this);
nextButton.setText("NEXT >");
//nextButton.setOnClickListener(nextListener);
//Back button.
backButton = new Button(this);
backButton.setText("< BACK");
//backButton.setOnClickListener(backListener);
backButton.setEnabled(false);
//Save button.
saveButton = new Button(this);
saveButton.setText("Save");
//saveButton.setOnClickListener(saveListener);
saveButton.setEnabled(false);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams saveButtonParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//saveButtonParam.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;
saveButton.setLayoutParams(saveButtonParam);
//Addition of the buttons to the button view in order that needs to be seen.
newSheetButtonLayoutH.addView(backButton);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.addView(nextButton);
newlayout.addView(saveButton);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.addView(newlayout);
//Layout Param's for the buttons.
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
newSheetButtonLayoutH.setLayoutParams(params);
//Set save to anchor right.
//Add all the layout Views to the main layout view.
newSheetLayoutV.addView(dataShowV);
newSheetLayoutV.addView(newSheetButtonLayoutH);
newSheetLayoutV.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM);
setContentView(newSheetLayoutV);
}

Try giving RelativeLayout params
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rel_lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
rel_lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_RIGHT);
rel_lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
btn.setLayoutParams(rel_lp);

Try setting the layout_gravity of LinearLayout instead of your Button.
