Remember, android:layout_*
attributes are LayoutParams
. They are arguments to the parent and affect how the parent will perform layout on that view. You’re specifying layout_margin
attributes on your buttons, but they’re getting ignored. Here’s why:
Since LayoutParams
are specific to the parent view type, you need to supply an instance of the correct parent type when you inflate layouts using a LayoutInflater
or else layout_
attributes on the top-level view in the layout will be dropped. (The inflater would have no idea what type of LayoutParams
to generate.)
Since buttonList
is your intended parent for the button views, change your inflate
line to this:
btn = (Button) layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.button, buttonList, false);
