I need to create a button programatically and have it centered on the layout, both horizontally and vertically. I am trying with the following code:
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layoutItem);
Button b = new Button(this);
b.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.button));
b.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
b.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL|Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
ll.addView(b);
But it's not working. The button comes out on top all to the left.
Any clues on how to fix this?
I would do something like:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams ll = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams)b.getLayoutParams();
ll.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
b.setLayoutParams(ll);
see if that works.
Or you can use a RelativeLayout as your parent View and do the following:
this.testButton= (Button) this.findViewById(R.id.testButton);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams testLP = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
testLP.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
this.testButton.setLayoutParams(testLP);
You can set several rules for the RelativeLayout.

I am quite new to Android, and is having problem in creating a Button dynamically. I have it working by creating in the Xml layout and working fine. Hope someone can help, to write code to create the button below during runtime, and after that Add it into a TableRow.
Note: I wanted to create a Button which is equivalent to the Xml below, but NOT using findViewById(), because this button doesn't exist. I know how to new a Button, but I am having difficulties on setting all the attributes below. Especially the layout_weight, background and drawableTop.
<Button
android:id="#+id/BtnRating1"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Rating_1"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/face_1"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:background="?android:selectableItemBackground"
android:gravity="center"
android:onClick="OnRating_1" />
Assuming the above xml is named button_view.xml
View view = LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.button_view);
Button button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.BtnRating1);
This way you can inflate directly from xml
I gave you code how to create a button on dynamic time, you can set all property which you want for this button.
Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setText("Push Me");
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.BtnRating1);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll.addView(myButton, lp);
This below line will create the button programetically
Button btn = new Button(ActivityContext);
Then you can also add button properties as below
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams btnparamLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 90);
btn.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
btnparamLayoutParams.height = adjustedDp;
btn1paramLayoutParams.setMargins(0, 0, 0, 100);
btn.setLayoutParams(btnparamLayoutParams);
btn.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
at the end add your button to the parentlayout.
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linID);
ll.addView(btn)
You can do it in two way
create a table row layout with button and inflate it.
you can create button dynamically and add it in your table row see below code for creating buttons dynamically.
TableRow.LayoutParams params = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
Button button = new Button(this);
params.weight = 1;
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
tablerow.addView(button,params);
Here this is context of activity.
I am trying to put a linearlayout vertical inside the linear layout programmatically, but it seems that its not working, the buttons doesnt appear, but the text view appear...
Here is my code:
(this is for a dialog..)
LinearLayout titleLayout = new LinearLayout(m_context);
titleLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
m_titleView = new TextView(m_context);
m_titleView.setText(title);
LinearLayout horizontalLayout = new LinearLayout(m_context);
titleLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
Button backward = new Button(m_context);
backward.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
backward.setText("Backwards");
Button newDirButton = new Button(m_context);
newDirButton.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
newDirButton.setText("New folder");
horizontalLayout.addView(backward);
horizontalLayout.addView(newDirButton);
titleLayout.addView(m_titleView);
titleLayout.addView(horizontalLayout);
Thanks in advance!
Try setting LayoutParams on horizontalLayout.
Anyway, I'd suggest moving to xml world, as this code is not maintainable.
Edit:
Answer found by the author:
titleLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
should be:
horizontalLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
I am creating button on runtime like below...
Button newCategoryButton = new Button(this);
newCategoryButton.setText(catName);
newCategoryButton.setWidth(30);
newCategoryButton.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bnt);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll.addView(newCategoryButton, lp);
But my problem is that it disappear when I back from that activity.
I want this permanent. And another problem is that how to set this button below on other button??
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams;
LinearLayout ll;
Button newCategoryButton=new Button(this)
newCategoryButton.setText("Push Me");
layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll.addView(view, newCategoryButton);
You should put this code in the onResume(), not on the onCreate() method ;-)
If you want to use the button under another one, you will need to use a LinearLayout with a vertical orientation!
LinearLayout myll = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.yourLinearLayout);
myll.setLayoutParams(LinearLayout.WRAP_CONTENT, LinearLayout.WRAP_CONTENT);
myll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
myll.addView(view, Button1);
myll.addView(view, Button2);
setContentView(myll)
I' m at this point stuck : I want to have a scrollview + a fixed button at the bottom, but Programatically Way ! I can' t go with XML for some technical reason.
Actually i have this :
//Is it really usefull Relative View?
RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
sv.setId(2);
// What is it? RelativeLayout.LayoutParams?
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, sv.getId());
sv.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(480, 800));
layout.addView(saveButton, lp);
layout.addView(sv);
I do the first 3 page Google on "fixed button and scrollview Android programatically"
Im beginner on Android, so, don' t hesitate to comment on my code some hints ;)
Thx for your help.
try this
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
layout.setLayoutParams(lp);
ScrollView scroll = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams slp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,0, 1.0f);
scroll.setLayoutParams(slp);
Button btn = new Button(this);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams blp = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
btn.setLayoutParams(blp);
btn.setText("Click Me");
layout.addView(scroll);
layout.addView(btn);
setContentView(layout);
If you are trying to create a view where the upper portion of the screen is a scrolling list, and the bottom portion is a button, put the scrollview inside a linearlayout, and put the button in the linearlayout below the scrollview.

I Have this simple Code:
layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
bottom = new LinearLayout(this);
Button close = new Button(this);
close.setText("Close");
bottom.addView(close);
layout.addView(bottom);
setContentView(layout);
How can i put my button at the bottom of the window i prefer to determine the x,y cords but any solution will be good.
since the absoluteLayout is deprecated i tried using the Relativelayout as the api adviced with no succes.
i'm not using XML at all is that a problem ?
You can set LayoutParametrs (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) to your elements. And don't forget to set LayoutParams to parent view.
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
button.setLayoutParams(lp)
