Can't change position of elements in webview

Question

I developed a simple webview app which is working fine.

Now I have to add a back button.

I added it as a child of "FrameLayout". I can change the size, but I can't change the position of the button, it just sits at the top left... This seems to be the case for any element, I just tried it with ImageView and I have the same problems with it.

I also tried to use "RelativeLayout" instead of "FrameLayout" as adviced in this answer, but it makes no difference

Any help is appreciated.

I changed to "ConstraintLayout" now it works. – Black Jul 19 '19 at 09:08 — Black, Jul 19 '19 at 09:08

I recommend to use XML.

Add this to your XML:

<Button
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:text="Button" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    >

Or replace <RelativeLayout> with <android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>.
