I have two imageView widgets and I would like to place them so that there is equal space between the left border and the left image, the left image and the right image, and the right image and the right border. (I wrote in the title of the question space-around because it's similar to the spacing used in CSS...)
Is it possible to achieve without manual adaptation (such as calculating margins)? And is it possible to achieve solely in the design mode without writing xml code?
Screen shot:
My XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Here is a proposition with a LinearLayout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView ... />
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView ... />
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<ImageView ...
</LinearLayout>
With the layout_weight attribute, the "spacer" views will take the maximum of free space, equally

It will be better to know if it is possible to do in XML using Linear layout or other layout
You can use Relative,Linear or Constraint
Try inside Constraint layout
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="#+id/ivPlaceHolder"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:src="#drawable/ic_baseline_library_music_24"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/viewLine"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#color/teal_200"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#+id/ivPlaceHolder1"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#+id/ivPlaceHolder"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/ivPlaceHolder"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/ivPlaceHolder" />
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="#+id/ivPlaceHolder1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/viewLine"
android:src="#drawable/ic_baseline_library_music_24"/>
Linear Layout Code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginStart="12dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:contentDescription="#null"
android:src="#drawable/ic_android_black_24dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<View
android:id="#+id/viewLine"
android:layout_width="2dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#33E24D" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:contentDescription="#null"
android:src="#drawable/ic_android_black_24dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</LinearLayout>
You can obtain the required result with the help of LinearLayout. Change the orientation to vertical in the LinearLayout.
android:orientation="vertical"
You can use View for obtaining the straight line between two images.
This is a sample code for the same. Hope this works for you.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_launcher_background" />
<View
android:layout_width="3dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:background="#color/black" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_launcher_background" />
</LinearLayout>
I'm trying to create the following layout:
Where after a certain device width, the container will only be a certain width and will not increase in size anymore, here it is set at 400dp. If the device is less than 400dp, then it will get the width of the device instead. The imageviews inside, should be half the width of the container. The container should also be centered after 400dp.
My current code doesn't center the container and it chops off the second image and the text on the right. How can I fix this?

Use a Guideline in the project which runs through the middle of the layout
Code Snippet
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Guideline
android:id="#+id/guideline"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

app:layout_constraintGuide_percent="0.5"/>

android:layout_width="0dp"

app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
android:layoutMargin ="16dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#id/guideline"

android:src="#drawable/landscape"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/postImgB"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#id/guideline"
android:layoutMargin ="16dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:src="#drawable/landscape"/>
then attach the images to the guideline and then to the parent give a margin to each. Use "0dp" or match constraints for it to mimic the image.
i'm trying to make this design in xml but i'm not sure if it's possible what I want.
I want to have a box and three icons (generated for every cardview) on the right separated in two layouts but all in the same cardview.
Is it possible or do I have to use the cardview as the first box and put the buttons separately?
Hope the following code helps you ,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintGuide_percent=".8"/>
<ImageView

app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#+id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/actionLayout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="#+id/guideline"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/likeButton"
style="?attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="100" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/disLikeButton"
style="?attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="100" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/optionButton"

android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
app:iconGravity="end" />
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
So I have something like this:
LinearLayout:
LinearLayout - wrap_content, background black:
TextView - wrap_content
LinearLayout:
Image - 20dp
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:gravity="center|start"
android:padding="5dp"
android:layout_margin="2dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="klgjdkljgilfdjgidfhjiogjdio;jhgiju;fgjdhjgu;hdfuighdfuk;ghduk;fhgukldhfgujkdfhyufhglfdhguldfhguklhfdulghldfughyulfhdulghdfulghul"
android:textColor="#D5D5D5" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="15dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="2dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center"
android:src="#drawable/edit" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This works perfectly but when the TextView contains text larger than the screen size, the image gets out of the screen. I don't want that to happen.
Here's the example:
Does anyone know how to fix this so it doesn't go outside the screen?
Thanks!
Try this with ConstraintLayout

And here is the output for constraint layout code.
Note: I'm using androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-beta2
Intention of ConstraintLayout is to optimize and flatten the view hierarchy of your layouts by applying some rules to each view to avoid nesting.
Rules remind you of RelativeLayout, for example setting the left to the bottom of some other view.
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/view1"
Unlike RelativeLayout, ConstraintLayout offers bias value that is used to position a view in terms of 0% and 100% horizontal and vertical offset relative to the handles (marked with circle). These percentages (and fractions) offer seamless positioning of the view across different screen densities and sizes.
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.33" <!-- from 0.0 to 1.0 -->
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.53" <!-- from 0.0 to 1.0 -->
Give send button start constraint to txtInputLayoutCaption
