[android-developers] set x,y co-ordinates in pixels

in a FrameLayout with two children ImageView and EditText, is there a
way to control by code at runtime the position of the later EditText?
I'm trying to create a floating widget (EditText) much like a toast
but that changes its x,y offsets .

<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/res_FrameLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="10">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/my_imageview" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center" />

<EditText android:id="@+id/floating_edittext"
android:layout_width="20dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true" android:ellipsize="end"
android:focusable="true"
android:textSize="18sp" android:textStyle="normal"
android:editable="true" />

</FrameLayout>

--------------------------------
in the activity class ctor:

EditText mFloatingEditText = (EditText)
findViewById(R.id.floating_edittext);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams mlayoutparamo =
mFloatingEditText.getLayoutParams();
mlayoutparamo.height = 40;
mlayoutparamo.width = 200;
mFloatingEditText.setLayoutParams(mlayoutparamo); // this works!

mFloatingEditText.offsetLeftAndRight(30); // does not work!
mFloatingEditText.offsetTopAndBottom(50); // does not work!
