Android - How do I move my button programmatically in a grid layout?

Question

I'm making an android app where if you click on a Button , it will create a Textview . But my problem is that when the TextView is placed inside the GridLayout , the Button stays where it is. I want to move the button relative to where the TextView is placed.

Answer 1

Your TextView in the GridLayout is controlled by the GridLayout , GridLayout works in a different way as compared to other ViewGroup s-afaik, an ex of gridlayout you will see that it uses column and row , so if you want to achieve what you want to achieve alter its column to the prefered place.

to be safe use a different Viewgroup
