Question

I used following following code but display top left of the layout.but i want to right bottom.

public class Cmmm extends LinearLayout {

LinearLayout customLinearLayout;

@SuppressLint("NewApi")
public CommericalAds(Context context ,int adWidth, int adHeight, Drawable drawable) {
    super(context);
    LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.custom_view, this, true);

    customLinearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.customView);

    LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParamslinear = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
            adsWidth, adsHeight);
    customLinearLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParamslinear);


    lpViewMiddleText = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
            LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    // Heading Background color and bottom background color and middel text

    llMiddleText = new LinearLayout(mContext);
    llSocialMedia = new LinearLayout(mContext);
    llSocialMedia.setOrientation(HORIZONTAL);

    lpSocialMedia = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    lpSocialMedia.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT|Gravity.BOTTOM;
    imageView.setBackground(drawable);

    LayoutParams imageGravityParams1 = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
            LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, adHeight-50);
    customLinearLayout.addView(imageView, imageGravityParams1);
    addSocialMedai();

    }
public void addSocialMedai() {
    imgFavourite = new ImageView(mContext);
    imgFavourite.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.nonfavourite_32);

    imgShare = new ImageView(mContext);
    imgShare.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.share_32);
    llSocialMedia.addView(imgFavourite);
    llSocialMedia.addView(imgShare);
    customLinearLayout.addView(llSocialMedia, lpSocialMedia);
}

}

Answer 1

Because a LinearLayout isn't fixed size, this is not possible without using dirty tricks. Of course it is possible to do what you ask (even if complicated), but i'd rather tell that your question reveals a bad design. If you really want to align something bottom right, use instead a RelativeLayout .
