Hello,

for an application I need to place some objects at the exact position that I want to have them and therefore I need to use AbsoluteLayout this time.

I want to add buttons dynamically exactly like in the following XML - but during runtime.

<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <Button 
     android:id="@+id/backbutton"
     android:text="TEST123"
     android:layout_x="120px"
     android:layout_y="120px"
     android:layout_width="100px"
     android:layout_height="100px" />
</AbsoluteLayout>

How can I archive this? I tried it with the following code to add a button, but I haven't found a function so far to set layout_x and layout_y. How can I do this? Thanks.

AbsoluteLayout al = new AbsoluteLayout(this);
Button t = new Button(this);
t.setHeight(300);
t.setWidth(300);
t.setText("TEST123");
// x y ???
setContentView(al);
