Android setX() and setY() behaving weird

Question

I am trying to dynamically create and then move an image in an Android activity. However, the setX() and setY() methods seem to not work correctly. It correctly sets the pos

Answer 1

Really, this shouldn't be happening. Alternatively, try setting another variable and setting x and y to it, or get x and get y and add a 0 to each one of them for same location.

As stated in Android - Use of view.setX() and setY in api 8, if you have searched, there is another solution that also works even before api 8. LayoutParams works like this -

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); //WRAP_CONTENT param can be FILL_PARENT
params.leftMargin = 206; //XCOORD
params.topMargin = 206; //YCOORD
childView.setLayoutParams(params);

There is more information there. I hope this helps
