setting layout parameters

Question

So Im trying to add an imageview to my current xml design - and its working decently. Now my main problem is that I cant seem to find a way to set the attributes for the image like where it needs to be displayed etc.

RelativeLayout mRelativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.board);

ImageView i = new ImageView(this); i.setImageResource(R.drawable.blue_1); i.setAdjustViewBounds(true); mRelativeLayout.addView(i); setContentView(mRelativeLayout);

i tried messing around with setlayoutparams but got absolutely no clue what to do with it.

You actually have to use the class LayoutParams to do that efficiently and easily :

RelativeLayout mRelativeLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.board);
ImageView i = new ImageView(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(40, 40);
params.leftMargin = 25;
params.topMargin = 25;
i.setImageResource(R.drawable.icon);
i.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
mRelativeLayout.addView(i, params);

This works for me and put my icon in the top left corner of the screen with the specified margin to the sides of the screen. Does that help?
