i cannot seem to figure out how to move a button
something like button.setTop(10);

there are gets for the top and left but no sets?

anybody have any ideas how to dynamically and programmatically move a button around the screen?

change the layout parameters of the button.
say if button has LayoutParams buttonLayout= new LayoutParams(100,
150, 20, 50);
programatically set x and y to set new position.
buttonLayout.x= new value..;
buttonLayout.y= new value..;
