Oui, c'est possible. J'ai résolu un problème similaire (placer un bouton de point de contrôle dans le FrameLayout au-dessus de SeekBar) en utilisant le code suivant (méthodes surchargées de SeekBar) :
@Override
protected void onLayout(final boolean changed, final int left, final int top, final int right, final int bottom) {
super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
View child = new Button(getContext());
//child measuring
int childWidthSpec = ViewGroup.getChildMeasureSpec(mWidthMeasureSpec, 0, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); //mWidthMeasureSpec is defined in onMeasure() method below
int childHeightSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);//we let child view to be as tall as it wants to be
child.measure(childWidthSpec, childHeightSpec);
//find were to place checkpoint Button in FrameLayout over SeekBar
int childLeft = (getWidth() * checkpointProgress) / getMax() - child.getMeasuredWidth();
LayoutParams param = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
param.gravity = Gravity.TOP;
param.setMargins(childLeft, 0, 0, 0);
//specifying 'param' doesn't work and is unnecessary for 1.6-2.1, but it does the work for 2.3
parent.addView(child, firstCheckpointViewIndex + i, param);
//this call does the work for 1.6-2.1, but does not and even is redundant for 2.3
child.layout(childLeft, 0, childLeft + child.getMeasuredWidth(), child.getMeasuredHeight());
}
@Override
protected synchronized void onMeasure(final int widthMeasureSpec, final int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
//we save widthMeasureSpec in private field to use it for our child measurment in onLayout()
mWidthMeasureSpec = widthMeasureSpec;
}
Il existe également ViewGroup.addViewInLayout() (elle est protégée, donc vous pouvez l'utiliser seulement si vous surchargez la méthode onLayout de votre Layout) dont la javadoc dit que son but est exactement ce dont nous discutons ici, mais je n'ai pas compris pourquoi elle est meilleure que addView(). Vous pouvez trouver son utilisation dans ListView .
