Thanks for the response, but I am still at a loss. I don't see how to
set the marginLeft and marginTop for a child view. Here is what I
have:
public class HelloAndroid extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Hello, Android");
rl.addView(tv);
setContentView(rl);
}
Now this will display my text, but if I want to set the absolute
position of the text, what would I do?
Thanks.
