    <p>I am working on an app that inserts an EditText box programmatically onto the layout. I cannot seem to get the center text working when I add the EditText programmatically but it works fine when I do it through the XML layout. I have nailed down the problem to be when I add the background resource. I have added code below to show both EditText when added through code and also XML. </p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/layoutLinear_main" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:background="@drawable/background" &gt; &lt;LinearLayout android:id="@+id/layoutLinear_answerDisplay" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" android:gravity="center_horizontal" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;EditText android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingLeft="5dp" android:paddingRight="5dp" android:paddingTop="5dp" android:paddingBottom="5dp" android:gravity="center" android:background="@drawable/background_field" android:layout_gravity="center" android:layout_marginLeft="120dp" android:layout_marginRight="120dp" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" android:textSize="30dp" android:hint="F" android:text="F" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;&lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then within the main code. I add an EditText programmatically. I've removed the margins and paddings, just to clearly identify the issue.</p> <pre><code>LinearLayout layoutLinear_answerDisplay = ((LinearLayout) this.findViewById(R.id.layoutLinear_answerDisplay)); EditText ed = new EditText(this); ed.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER); LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); layoutParams.gravity = Gravity.CENTER; ed.setLayoutParams(layoutParams); ed.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.background_field); ed.setTextSize(30); ed.setHint("F"); ed.setText("F"); layoutLinear_answerDisplay.addView(ed); </code></pre> <p>The following is then the ouptut. You can see from the image that the top EditText has centered text (this was done through the XML code). You can see from the bottom EditText, that the text is off centered (done through the code behind). </p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RfqDn.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I have also attached my background resource for the EditText. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xhwlS.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
