While trying to add a SeekBar to a dialog box I realized I needed a TextView reflecting setProgress() of the SeekBar. I implemented it as such :

    private void customDialogTimeout() {
    LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(getSherlockActivity());
    ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);

    RelativeLayout input = new RelativeLayout(getSherlockActivity());

    final SeekBar timeoutSeekBar = new SeekBar(getSherlockActivity());
    timeoutSeekBar.setId(1);
    final TextView seekBarStatus = new TextView(getSherlockActivity());
    seekBarStatus.setId(2);

    LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
         LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay1 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    lay1.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL);
    lay1.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay2 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    lay2.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL);
    lay2.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, timeoutSeekBar.getId());

    layoutParams.setMargins(30, 20, 30, 0);

    input.addView(timeoutSeekBar,lay1);
    input.addView(seekBarStatus, lay2);

    ll.addView(input, layoutParams);

The resulting view however seems to “push out” the TextView:

What am I doing wrong? If I am approaching this the wrong way please let me know.

    Your SeekBar has its width set to RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT and when you add to its left the TextView it will obviously not be show because it is pushed out of the screen(as the SeekBar already fill the entire width):

        RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay1 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    lay1.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL);
    lay1.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
    lay1.addRule(RelativeLayout.LEFT_OF, seekBarStatus.getId());

    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lay2 = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
    lay2.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL);
    lay2.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);

    layoutParams.setMargins(30, 20, 30, 0);
    input.addView(seekBarStatus, lay2);
    input.addView(timeoutSeekBar,lay1);
