How to place a button between start and centre position inside Framelayout?

Question

I have placed 3 buttons inside of Framelayout each with layout gravity as follows:

1. start|bottom
2. center|bottom
3. end|bottom

Now I want to place two additional buttons between (start and center) and (end and center). What is the best way to achieve this? I could not get 2 horizontal linear layouts on either side of center button to work and I don't intend to use BottomNavigationView.

Answer 1

You can create 2 separate Linear Layouts one for either side of the center button. The left one should have

<LinearLayout
  android:layout_gravity="start|bottom"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:orientation="horizontal">

--add 2 buttons

</LinearLayout>

and the right one should have:

<LinearLayout
  android:layout_gravity="end|bottom"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:orientation="horizontal">
--add 2 buttons

</LinearLayout>

The center button should be left intact in the Frame Layout.
