Question

Is there a way to programatically add TextView and show it right next to the ImageView user clicked on?

I tried something like this, but no results, TextView is added to the bottom of my layout:

TextView score = new TextView(getBaseContext());
score.setText("Image clicked");
Rect rectf = new Rect();
im.getLocalVisibleRect(rectf);
AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams params = new AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 300, 270);
score.setLayoutParams(params);
layout.addView(score);

First thing, never use AbsoluteLayout, never! AbsoluteLayout is generally not recommended and you shouldn’t use it. I recommend to you use RelativeLayout and then you only need to add rule.

Try to use following snippet of code:

relativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
par = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
par.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, imageView.getId());
relativeLayout.addView(score, par);
