Android custom view and visible button

I made my custom view and I want to add view.button, so I made this solution:

Public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    Button up;
    up = new Button(getApplicationContext());
    up.setText("ahoj");
    up.setHeight(100);
    up.setWidth(100);
    up.setTop(200);
    up.setLeft(100);
    LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(layout);

    myview view = new myview(this);
    layout.addView(view);

layout.addView(up);

I only see my view but no button. My view only draw some PNG file. Does anyone know where is the problem? Thanks much.

You have the code right but in the wrong order. Try this:

Public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    Button up;
    LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
    up = new Button(getApplicationContext());
    up.setText("ahoj");
    up.setHeight(100);
    up.setWidth(100);
    up.setTop(200);
    up.setLeft(100);




    myview view = new myview(this);
    layout.addView(view);
    layout.addView(up);

    setContentView(layout);
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

The most likely reason is that your custom view is added with layout params MATCH_PARENT. It takes the whole of the layout and the button is not visible. Try instead adding your custom view with WRAP_CONTENT params:

MyView view = new myview(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LAYOUTParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
layout.addView(view, lp);
