Add a Textview to a FrameLayout in a determined position

Question

I\'m trying to add a textView to a frameLayout. The TextView has wrap_content properties, so it grows when the text grows

Answer 1

Set FrameLayout properties android:layout_width and android:layout_height to fill_parent and also set TextView property LayoutGravity . such as Center, Right or Top.

Thanks

Answer 2

Setting the gravity programatically definitely works Please set the layout_gravity to right in the xml TextView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Add android:layout_gravity="center" in your 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"
    android:layout_gravity="center" > 
</FrameLayout>

Answer 5

Try to gravity or Layout gravity to your Framelayout or the Textview. It makes your Layout to the center of the screen. Use like this,

android:layout_gravity="center"

or

android:gravity="center"

Answer 6

you can try it by set the gravity of text use it like-

textview.setGravity(Gravity.center);

othervise by xml set gravity to center so it will display you in center and if you'll use centerinparents so it will always apperas at the center of screen.
