I am trying to create an activity that will match the parent height. When I am testing the application on Pixel XL the application is fine, but when install on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro I have one part of the screen that it's not covered. This is the part above the camera, and it might be that my question is not only for this phone but I guess for all the others with the same design.
This is how it looks on pixel and it's ok:
And this is how it looks on Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro:
This is my activity code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/main_screen_background"
tools:context=".activty.WelcomeActivity">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/main_menu_recycler_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="60dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
And this is my Toolbar if needed:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/main_screen_background"
android:theme="#style/AppFullScreenTheme"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/test_menu_language_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="30dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/about_dropdown_menu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_ikonki_potrosuvaci_02" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/language_dropdown_menu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:text="MK"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar>
What I want to achieve is to have covered also that black part and have the color from the activity, probably an easy thing but I am little rusty with android. I checked the other applications and they are covering that part.
So actually there are only two lines of code needed to be added in your v27/styles.xml:
<item name="android:windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode">
shortEdges <!-- default, shortEdges, never -->
</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
The first will cover that area and the second will set the color of the activity to that area. This is how my styles.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="AppFullScreenTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="android:windowFullscreen">true</item>
<item name="android:windowLayoutInDisplayCutoutMode">
shortEdges <!-- default, shortEdges, never -->
</item>
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:popupMenuStyle">#style/PopupMenu</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceLargePopupMenu">#style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceLarge
</item>
<item name="android:textAppearanceSmallPopupMenu">#style/myPopupMenuTextAppearanceSmall
</item>
</style>
</resources>
Finally I have applied this style to every activity that I have.

I have the following layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/fragment_container"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/app_name"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textColor="#FF000000"
android:singleLine="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I expected the layout to extend to the edges of the screen, but instead here's what I get:
The declared theme is Theme.K9Dialog:
<resources>
<style name="Theme.K9Dialog" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:windowFrame">#null</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#drawable/popup_background</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
<item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">#android:style/Animation.Dialog</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#drawable/panel_separator</item>
</style>
Am I misunderstanding what android:layout_width is supposed to do?
This is happening because of <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item> in your app theme, should work fine after removing that. Also I am not why you need all those attributes like android:windowFrame and ndroid:windowAnimationStyle in your app theme. If there is no such requirement try using default app theme and add only those attributes to theme which you want to change .
In my v27\style.xml I have the following code to set a white navbar:
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:windowLightNavigationBar">true</item>
</style>
It works, but the white navbar "joins" with the white background. I would to add an horizontal line on the navbar, in each activity. How can I do?
This is what I would (from Youtube), I highlighted it with red rectangle:
I think for cases like these you may need to have a custom toolbar layout so that you can optimise the layout whichever way you like.
Something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.appcompat.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="?attr/actionBarSize"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
app:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvToolBarTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="Toobar"
android:fontFamily="#font/filson_pro_book"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:visibility="visible"/>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#color/white"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
You would probably want to add an horizontal line each time you open the nav drawer:
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#FF0000FF"
android:layout_gravity = "bottom/>
If you want the line to be on half of the screen (only on the nav)- add it inside the nav.
If you want the line to be on the whole screen (as you marked in the picture)- add it after adding the nav.
Since API 27 there is an attribute in the style called navigationBarDividerColor that allows to do that. You can complement it with the navigationBarColor to make it look like the one in your screenshot.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

...
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="android:navigationBarDividerColor">#DBDBDB</item>
</style>
</resources>
I've created application with menu and toolbar.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
The toolbar (the app_bar_menu_coord_layout_included above):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_height="match_parent"

</LinearLayout>
Now I wanted to adjust text sizes of toolbar elements depending on screen size. What I do is take toolbar width as 100% and set the rest of textview's text sizes to fit the desired rectangle (for example 6% of width and 100% of height).
But it seems like its not working properly.
I've tested on screen size 320 height and 480 width:
As you see on the picture, first of all the width of it is 480, and as I noticed the text adjustment doesn't work, take a look on the last text 37M, it should have fitted into one line. What I think is that the menu button (the red rectangle in image) is taking some place. What would be the best way to identify actual width of toolbar without the menu button?
EDIT 1:
I've tried adding to the app_bar_menu_coord_layout_included this:
android:layout_marginLeft="-64dp"
And here is the result of correct text size adjustment. But I don't want to get rid of the menu button. Instead I want to get correct size of toolbar without menu button.
Android gave us components to make ease implementing components. Not for giving hours to customise it. Why don't you make an custom toolbar instead of wasting hours in managing default toolbar.

You should customize the toolbar layout as per your need. So you will have all controls on its size.
I have a SwitchCompat in the action bar (v7.Toolbar) of my activity. I want it be colorStructure when off and colorAccent when on. It works fine on pre-Lollipop, but on Lollipop the activated switch is drawn in a color which I did not define anywhere. It looks like "material_deep_teal_200". Thats my only style definitions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Default" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/colorAccent</item>
<!--<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>-->
<item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
<item name="colorSwitchThumbNormal">#color/colorStructure</item>
<item name="colorControlNormal">#color/colorPrimary</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">#color/colorAccent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">#color/colorAccent</item>
<!--<item name="selectBarStyle">#style/DefaultSelectBar</item>-->
</style>
</resources>
And that's the begin of the activity xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
android:id="#+id/toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:theme="#style/Widget.AppCompat.Toolbar"
app:popupTheme="#style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Light"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/abc_dropdownitem_text_padding_right">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/abc_action_bar_icon_vertical_padding_material">
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/helpButton"
android:src="#drawable/ic_help_large"
android:background="#00000000"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/master_switch"
android:clickable="true"
android:checked="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="right"
/>
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
So what do I need to change to make the switch have the same custom colors on KitKat and Lollipop?
Thanks
Actually the code as presented above works fine - also on Lollipop. I must have done a mistake during validation after cleaning up the problematic code.
Originally the problem was when I also had a configuration in values-v21. I assume that there was a typo or something like that which got lost when I was simplifying all into the default xml file.
So in short, the code as presented works, and I assume that having configurations in values-v21 would not cause a problem either.
I created an Activity (which has and YoutubePlayerView and other image) with transparent background using
following code:
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">true</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimAmount">0.9</item>
After compiling, background is Dimmed correctly with DimAmount = 0.9. BUT, my VideoView also dimmed
with same dimAmount.
Full xml for my Activity:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#33000000"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.google.android.youtube.player.YouTubePlayerView
android:id="#+id/youtube_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/other_views"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#drawable/ads" />
</LinearLayout>
How Can I fix it.
Thanks!
Put this theme in the activity tag in your project's manifest.
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent.NoTitleBar"
it will make your activity completely transparent.
Then set the background of the root layout oht that activity in black with some alpha according to your requirement using this.
android:background="#33000000"
Change 33 as per your requirement.
It will dim the background things without effecting other views.
Hop this works for you.
