Android - setting X,Y of image programmatically

Question

I have two ImageViews inside an AbsoluteLayout.

Answer 1

You should use:

AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams param = new AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams(int width, int height, int x, int y)

layout Parameter object with the preferred x and y and set it to your fpLight image by

fpLight.setLayoutParams(param);

AbsoluteLayout is Deprecated

You should use RelativeLayout instead

EXAMPLE:

Suppose you want a ImageView of size 50x60 on your screen at postion (70x80)

// RelativeLayout. though you can use xml RelativeLayout here too by `findViewById()`
RelativeLayout relativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
// ImageView
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);

// Setting layout params to our RelativeLayout
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(50, 60);

// Setting position of our ImageView
layoutParams.leftMargin = 70;
layoutParams.topMargin = 80;

// Finally Adding the imageView to RelativeLayout and its position
relativeLayout.addView(imageView, layoutParams);

Answer 2

yourImageView.setX(floatXcoord);
yourImageView.setY(floatYcoord);
