android listView clipping and unable to scroll - android

I've a fragment file with a listview in it, as my number of items increase, they are populating beyond the screen but I'm unable to scroll the listView to bring the hidden items up. Most of the tutorials are following LinearLayout etc. but I want to stay within the modern constrain layout mode.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:id="#+id/userList"
android:layout_width="409dp"
android:layout_height="729dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

There is a similar question HERE where the poster indicated it was working fine all along, but needed more elements to scroll.
If that is not the case, try setting this in your ListView
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
I haven't tested it, but some people reported success so give it a try.

Hidden Bottom Navigation View regardless of appearing in the xml

Summary
I try to make Bottom Navigation View with Java and android studio.
However, it disappears the bar regardless of showing exact screen in the xml file.
Goal
I'd like to show BottomNavigationView like this video.
Goal screen is below picture.
Issue
I am coding the video, and done. The xml file is exact screen layout,
but when I build the screen, I saw different layout.
What I try
Compared to the code, almost all code isn't different.
Also turn off the fragment code, it works.
I guess the reason why it is disappear must be layout.
However, when I change the number of width or height, it shows same screen.
What's more, when I use layout construction such as Linerlayout, it shows same screen.
Code
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 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="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
tools:context=".home">
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:id="#+id/bottomnavi"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/black"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_menu"/>
<fragment
android:id="#+id/fragment2"
android:name="androidx.navigation.fragment.NavHostFragment"
android:layout_width="409dp"
android:layout_height="673dp"
app:defaultNavHost="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottomnavi"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:navGraph="#navigation/my_nav" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
It is better if you set the layout_width and layout_height parameter of the fragment to 0dp unless you want it for some reason.
Change these parameters of the <fragment:
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
Change/Add these parameters of your <com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView:
android:layout_width="0dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/fragment2"
And see if the problem is fixed.

Align two views in opposites sides (one at the top and one at the bottom) and be able to push the bottom view when the top view grows?

I basically have an EditText aligned at the top of the view and there's a RecyclerView on the bottom of the view that can also grow (with the newest item on the bottom)
That's easily doable with a constraint layout but my problem is that when the EditText grows it should start pushing down the list. But the list was initially aligned at the bottom of the parent. (and everything should be scrollable)
I hope this image makes things more clear
The trick here is to avoid forming a vertical chain (so that the EditText at the top always stays in place) and also to leverage the app:layout_constrainedHeight attribute on the RecyclerView in order to make it shrink when the EditText grows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"/>
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/text"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1"/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
The combination of android:layout_height="wrap_content" and app:layout_constrainedHeight="true", along with both top and bottom constraints, means that the RecyclerView will always be only as tall as its items or the available space below the EditText, whichever is smaller.
The app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1" attribute ensures that, when the list doesn't fill the screen, it sits at the bottom.
I would add to the previous answer and if you want to be able to scroll your layout you can use sth like this:
<androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/edit_text"
app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>
This will make everything align as you want to and you are able to scroll down to see your full recyclerView. NestedScrollView will make sure that everything runs smoothly.

Android Studio XML formatting not filling screen

I am working on one of my first apps. One activity of the app includes swiping left and right to scroll through different fragments, I am using Scroll-View for this. I want each fragment to include multiple elements, but unfortunately Scroll-View only supports a maximum of one direct child element. To work around this, I placed all the views I want in the fragment inside a ConstraintLayout, making the ConstraintLayout the only direct child of the ScrollView. You can see this in my XML code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/gayLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<A BUNCH OF CHILD VIEWS (ImageViews, TextViews, etc.)/>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</ScrollView>
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
Unfortunately, this completely messes up the formatting. You can see this in the image below:
A blue line can be seen in the render underneath all the views. From what I can gather, this is the bottom edge of the inner Constraint-Layout, but the thing is, I have no idea how to move it, and I cannot move any of its child elements below the line. I can make it smaller, just not larger, and there's no way for me to get it to scale to different screen sizes. What would be a better way to group these child elements without having this problem? Thanks!

Android Camera2Video Preview Issue

I am using Google's API Camera2Video classes Camera2VideoFragment and AutoFitTextureView and I have a small problem. When I'm using the preview in a custom FrameLayout, it goes to the left corner.
I have found a way to sretch the preview for it to fill the whole framelayout but as expected, it looks way too stretched. Perfect solution would be if there could be some black edges on corners and the screen would be in the middle. Also I dont think making the inflator to inflate the layout from the middle would help because there could be cases where the screen is big enough for the preview to fit properly and that being positioned in the middle would just ruin it.
Link to Google's Camera2Video API: https://github.com/googlesamples/android-Camera2Video
I created a simple layout to show what I get. (This is the only thing I have changed after downloading Google's API, and also removing the buttons that came with):
The XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
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="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout 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="250dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="#000"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
tools:context="com.example.android.camera2basic.CameraActivity" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
And a picture of what I'm seeing.
You are using a sample that wraps the AutoFitTextureView in an extra wrapper of RelativeLayout. There it defines the position of the texture view as
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
which caused the layout that you observed.
Your task does not need this wrapper. You can embed the AutoFitTextureView directly inside the FrameLayout of CameraActivity. Your FrameLayout should define
android:gravity="center"
to command the children to be centered.
Note that you can probably remove the wrapping ConstrantLayout, if its only child is the id/container FrameLayout.

ImageView edges get cut off while rotating in GridView

I'm making memory game in Android.
I decided to use GridView with adapter, which inflates image inside every of cell.
Problem is that images in first row get cut of while 3D rotating around y axis,
like this:
This does not happen with images in last row.
Only way I managed to avoid this behaviour was to increase padding for each image, but that changes by layout too much. I also tried adding top padding and/or margin to GridView, but that did not help.
Is there any way to make images in first rotate without this issue?
Here is my layout code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout 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="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
tools:context="com.example.alen.matchinggameaddiko.activities.GameActivity">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_marginLeft="26dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:src="#drawable/addiko_logo_white"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<GridView
android:id="#+id/grid_game"
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="0px"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/gridImagesMarginLeft"
android:layout_marginStart="#dimen/gridImagesMarginRight"
android:numColumns="4"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/imageView" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Thanks!
Have you tried ViewGroup.setClipChildren(false)? The rotation looks like it's leaving the ViewGroup's bounds.
In a RecyclerView that I had the same issue, what worked was adding android:clipChildren="false" in the RecyclerView and android:clipToPadding="false" in the root layout of the adapter of the RecyclerView.
