Positioning a badge bubble on the left upper side of a button using Java

I am new to Android development and am following the question here, which adds a badge bubble on the top-left side of a button by setting its xml file. Since I would like to dynamically create such UI instead of statically creation, can I know how to create equivalent UI using java code?

You just have to dynamically set FrameLayout.LayoutParams on your dynamically created ImageView (assuming you are going for the approach of a FrameLayout containing the button and bubble).

Some example code, written in notepad like a pro:

Button button = new Button(this);
// initialize button - text, background, etc
layout.addView(button, new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

ImageView badgeBubble = new ImageView(this);
// initialize badge - source image/drawable, scale type, etc
layout.addView(badgeBubble, new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, Gravity.TOP | Gravity.LEFT));

This assumes your FrameLayout has been initialized and is called layout.
