The following example (working code) shows how to place a view (EditText) inside of a FrameLayout. Also it shows how to set the position of the EditText using the setPadding setter of the FrameLayout (everytime the user clicks on the FrameLayout, the position of the EditText is set to the position of the click):

public class TextToolTestActivity extends Activity{
    FrameLayout frmLayout;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        frmLayout = (FrameLayout)findViewById(R.id.frameLayout1);
        frmLayout.setFocusable(true);
        EditText et = new EditText(this);

        frmLayout.addView(et,100,100);
        frmLayout.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                Log.i("TESTING","touch x,y == " + event.getX() + "," +     event.getY() );
                frmLayout.setPadding(Math.round(event.getX()),Math.round(event.getY()) , 0, 0);
            return true;
        }
    });

}

}
