Show ImageView programmatically

Question

How can I make an ImageView appear in the middle of the screen when the user clicks a button? I have placed the image in the res/drawable-folder.

I've been trying with the code below but I don't know how to make the ImageView appear:

 View v = new ImageView(getBaseContext());  ImageView image;   image = new ImageView(v.getContext());   image.setImageDrawable(v.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.gameover)); 

Thanks!

int id = getResources().getIdentifier("gameover", "drawable", getPackageName()); ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this); LinearLayout.LayoutParams vp =      new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,                      LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); imageView.setLayoutParams(vp);         imageView.setImageResource(id);         someLinearLayout.addView(imageView);
