Add a Textview to a FrameLayout in a determined position

android, android-framelayout, textview

Solution

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

Problem

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..
