How can I programmatically set button in right corner of edittext?

Question

How can I programmatically set button in right corner of EditText?

FrameLayout fl = new FrameLayout(this);
lv.addView(fl);

searchTxt = new EditText(this);
fl.addView(searchTxt);

btnSearch = new Button(this);

I tried this

btnSearch.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
fl.addView(btnSearch);

and

LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 0);
param.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;
fl.addView(btnSearch, param);

But the button is still in the left corner.

why don't you use xml to create the layout? – Goran Horia Mihail Dec 22 '13 at 10:14 — Goran Horia Mihail, Dec 22 '13 at 10:14

You need to set layout param for button as following:

FrameLayout.LayoutParams param = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 0);
param.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;

and set it to button

btnSearch.setLayoutParam(param);
f1.addView(btnSearch);

Thanks!!! LinearLayout.LayoutParams replace to FrameLayout.LayoutParams and it works! – Denis Gubert Dec 22 '13 at 10:20

Set the layoutparams to the LinearLayout to Fill_Parent in width
