How to change the position of a linear layout within its parent frame layout in Android

Expected Result

In onClick() callback method, programmatically set a new position for linear layout.

Problem

Neither the linear layout nor the button can be placed to a new place.

Source Code

Main.java > public class MainActivity extends Activity {}

Neither of the following two code snippet works.

(1)

FrameLayout.LayoutParams params = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(480, 800); // unit is pixel
params.leftMargin = 420;  // Shift 420 pixels from left screen border
params.rightMargin = -60; // Exceed 60 pixels from right screen border
mLinearLayout.setLayoutParams(params);

(2)

Button mButtonMenu = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_menu);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(80, 55); // unit is pixel
params.leftMargin = 420; // unit is pixel
params.rightMargin = -60; // unit is pixel
mButtonMenu.setLayoutParams(params);

activity_main.xml > elements structure

<FrameLayout
    <ScrollView   <!-- The menu -->
    </ScrollView>
    <LinearLayout <!-- The content -->
        <Button />
        <TextView />
    </LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

You need to set the LayoutParams for the movement of your LinearLayout. Kindly refer the post Here check Class FilterAnimation and method onAnimationEnd() for the movement of layouts

You can try swap LinearLayout with RelativeLayout.

And then when you want to make some view to be under/above another you can use this:

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.YOUR_VIEW_ID);                            

YOUR_VIEW.setLayoutParams(lp);
