I'm trying to add a textView
to a frameLayout
. The TextView
has wrap_content
properties, so it grows when the text grows. I'm adding it to a FrameLayout
with this function:
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainLayout)).addView(mEditText);
This is the xml of the frame layout:
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</FrameLayout>
The textView always appears in the top left corner of the screen. I'd like to position it in the middle, or top middle. How can this be done?
I looked over the answers in How can I dynamically set the position of view in Android? and they weren't much help :( Mainly caused crashes..
Try this:
FrameLayout.LayoutParams params = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.CENTER);
((FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainLayout)).addView(mEditText, params);
Change Gravity to suit your need.
BTW, the frame layout should use fill_parent
for width and height
