How to programmatically align two Textviews and a Seekbar in the same line?

How to programmatically align a textview, a seekbar and another textview in the same line in android studio?

Textview seekbar textview

I have written the following code snippet:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams sblayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        sblayoutParams.setMargins(10, 100, 10, 10);

        tv1.setText("0");
        tv1.setBackgroundResource(R.color.yellow);
        tv1.setLayoutParams(sblayoutParams);
        sb1.setLayoutParams(sblayoutParams);
        tv2.setText("100");
        tv2.setBackgroundResource(R.color.green);
        tv2.setLayoutParams(sblayoutParams);


        LinearLayout sblinearLayout = findViewById(R.id.rootContainer);

        // Add SeekBar to LinearLayout
        if (sblinearLayout != null) {
            sblinearLayout.addView(sb1);
            sblinearLayout.addView(tv1);
            sblinearLayout.addView(tv2);
        }

The following is my XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/rootContainer"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:orientation="vertical">

</LinearLayout>

Current scenario:

Answer

Currently the LinearLayout has android:orientation="vertical", so the Views appear one below the other.

If you want them to appear side by side, you should change the orientation to android:orientation="horizontal"

Or you can set the orientation programmatically:

sbLinearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL)

Change the width to WRAP_CONTENT and set a weight so all three Views get a third of the available width:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams sblayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

sblayoutParams.setMargins(10, 100, 10, 10);
sbLayoutParams.setWeight(1.0f);

tv1.setText("0");
tv1.setBackgroundResource(R.color.yellow);
tv1.setLayoutParams(sblayoutParams);
sb1.setLayoutParams(sblayoutParams);
tv2.setText("100");
tv2.setBackgroundResource(R.color.green);
tv2.setLayoutParams(sblayoutParams);


LinearLayout sblinearLayout = findViewById(R.id.rootContainer);

// Add SeekBar to LinearLayout
if (sblinearLayout != null) {
    sblinearLayout.addView(tv1);
    sblinearLayout.addView(sb1);
    sblinearLayout.addView(tv2);
}
