Here main difference is positioning your sereen UI component using AbsoluteLayout.
By using android AbsoluteLayout we can easily make positioning.We can positioning using xml or from code.
In this example i showed both.
//my_button_interface.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/myTextViev"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_x="20px"
android:layout_y="200px"
/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/myButton"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="50px"
android:text="Submit"
/>
</AbsoluteLayout>
//HelloWorldAndroid.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.AbsoluteLayout;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class AndroidButton extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
Button btn;
TextView tv;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.my_button_interface);
btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
tv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myTextViev);
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams= new
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams(100,50, 200, 200);
btn.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
tv.setText("This is sample text");
btn.setOnClickListener(this);
}
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if (v.getId() == R.id.myButton) {
tv.setText("welcome to AbsoluteLayout");
}
}
}
output:
Before click button
After click button
