How to define column and row in a LinearLayout dynamically? - android-layout

Question

I'm trying to create dynamically this XML:
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:columnCount="2"
android:rowCount="2"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/topleft"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_column="0"
android:layout_row="0"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/myimage1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/tetona"
/>
></LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/topRigth"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_column="1"
android:layout_row="0"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/myimage2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/tetona" />
></LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/bottomRight"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_column="1"
android:layout_row="1"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/myimage3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/tetona" />
></LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/BottonLeft"
android:layout_width="160dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_column="0"
android:layout_row="1"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/myimage4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/tetona" />
></LinearLayout>
</GridLayout>
I can create LinearLayouts inside a loop such as:
GridLayout gridlay = (GridLayout)findViewById(R.id.gridpadre);
gridlay.setColumnCount(2);
gridlay.setRowCount(2);
for (int i=0; i<(gridlay.getRowCount()); ++i){
for(int j=0; j<gridlay.getColumnCount(); ++j){
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setId(id);
layout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(160,200));
gridlay.addView(layout);
But... how can I set LinearLayout android:layout_column="i" and android:layout_row="j" dynamically in order to put it in the position i and j relative to the gridlayout?
Is it possible?
Thanks

Answer 1

try doing the following: layout.setOrientation(VERTICAL); then try layout.setHorizontalGravity(j) since I don't have a computer equipped with any way to test it I'm not sure it will work, but its worth a shot.
