Question

I’m creating N buttons in a for loop witch an OnClickListener each one. The user is able to click each button and set a number. After that, I want a TextView showing the number just over the button and in the middle of it.

This is just what I want. The gray background is the button, and the number is the TextView.

The code I have right now:

        for (int toShow = 0; toShow < nShips; toShow++)
            {
                btn = new Button(this);
                btn.setBackgroundResource(shipDrawable.get(ima));
                btn.setLayoutParams(params);
                row[pos].addView(btn);
                btn.setId(shipId.get(ima));
                btn.setOnClickListener(listeners);
                if (row[pos].getChildCount() == 3) pos++;
                ima++;
            }

I tried using this inside the for loop:

float x = btn.getX(), y = btn.getY();
                TextView level = new TextView(this);
                level.setText("5");
                level.setX(x); level.setY(y);

But didn’t work. What can I use to get what I want?

KrLx_roller the much i got is that you want to place text on a button , you do not need to take a septate text view you can add the text like this

    Button textOne = new Button(this);

    textOne.setText("5");
    textOne.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.img);
    textOne.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
    textOne.setTextColor(Color.RED);
