How to set RelativeLayout layout params in code not in xml?

People also ask

Which attribute or property is specific for RelativeLayout?

RelativeLayout lets child views specify their position relative to the parent view or to each other (specified by ID). So you can align two elements by right border, or make one below another, centered in the screen, centered left, and so on.

What is layout params?

LayoutParams are used by views to tell their parents how they want to be laid out. See ViewGroup Layout Attributes for a list of all child view attributes that this class supports. The base LayoutParams class just describes how big the view wants to be for both width and height.

Is RelativeLayout deprecated?

relativelayout is deprecated now.


Just a basic example:

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
Button button1;
button1.setLayoutParams(params);

params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, button1.getId());
Button button2;
button2.setLayoutParams(params);

As you can see, this is what you have to do:

  1. Create a RelativeLayout.LayoutParams object.
  2. Use addRule(int) or addRule(int, int) to set the rules. The first method is used to add rules that don't require values.
  3. Set the parameters to the view (in this case, to each button).

    RelativeLayout layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams labelLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
    layout.setLayoutParams(labelLayoutParams);


   // If you want to add some controls in this Relative Layout
    labelLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    labelLayoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);


    ImageView mImage = new ImageView(this);
    mImage.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.popupnew_bg);        
    layout.addView(mImage,labelLayoutParams);

    setContentView(layout);

Something like this..

 RelativeLayout linearLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.widget43);
                // ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView01);

                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
                        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
                // View footer = inflater.inflate(R.layout.footer, null);
                View footer = LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.footer,
                        null);
                final RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
                        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
                        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
                layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, 1);
footer.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

How about you just pull the layout params from the view itself if you created it.

$((RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1)).getLayoutParams();
