Circular ProgressBar unwanted spacing - android

In my layout there is ProgressBar with
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
No margins or paddings set.
But ProgressBar does not occupy whole bounding box, strange gap present around the circle.
How can I make ProgressButton fit specified sizes?

you can use android:clipChildren="false" to make it overflow on parent
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:clipChildren="false">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="50dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="390dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="55dp"
android:layout_marginRight="50dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

How to avoid unnecessary Relative layout in Linear Layout

I am using a Linear Layout to display an ImageView and to make it be displayed only one half of the screen. What I have done is to add a Relative layout inside this Linear Layout so that this ImageView only occupies one half of the screen. I am getting a warning as it is normal because this Relative Layout doen't have any children but I have used it only to occupy the other half of the screen. How could I make the same result avoiding this warning?
This is what I have:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="2">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/img"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" >
Use below code, imageView is only half the screen:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="2"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/img"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription" />
</LinearLayout>

Android Scrollview content size smaller when should be

I want to have a "fixed_space" at the top of screen and a "scrollview" at the bottom of the screen which should be below fixed_space. The rest of the screen is a container "rest_space".
Unfortunately my scrollview has a shorter height(by 100dp which fixed_space has) ,if content is too big/scrollable.
I tried to achieve same with ConstraintLayout and RelativeLayout, but I have got same result.
Any ideas why scrollview has 100dp shorter height, as it should be?
EDIT: Scrollview should take as much space as she needs.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark" />
<View

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="START OF SCROLLVIEW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMIDDLE OF SCROLLVIEW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEND OF SCROLLVIEW" />
</ScrollView>

Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#android:color/holo_red_dark" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<View
android:id="#+id/rest_space"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/scrollview"
android:background="#android:color/black" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollview"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:fillViewport="true">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="START OF SCROLLVIEW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMIDDLE OF SCROLLVIEW \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEND OF SCROLLVIEW" />
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Ok, I think this should solve your probem:
First, I started by using RelativeLayout. I did it in order to get the fixed_space aligned to the top and the scrollview aligned to the bottom.
Then I changed the View for a LinearLayout and put a TextView within it so I could use wrap_content and this is the tricky part:
When you use ScrollView with wrap_content and a View with the weight stuff, Android can't make the calculations it needs to get the screen drawed because there is no reference. When I put the TextView with wrap_content itself that gives the reference because Android know the size of the text.
You don't have to use the TextView but you will need anything that gives Android that reference.
In this case, the scrollview is going to be stretched, not the LinearLayout. If you want the second to get strached, then I'm afraid you are going to need to set a fixed height to your scrollview.

Transparent CardView Child Shadow Does Not Appear

I have a CardView with cardBackgroundColor set to Transparent. and cardElevation set to 3dp
In the CardView it has an ImageView. I am wondering why there is no shadow on the ImageView.
Note: I purposely wrap the ImageView inside CardView to generate shadow on Pre Lollipop devices, but it doesn't seem to work.
Any idea please?
Set padding to parent view of card view to 3dp.
Like,
<RelativeLayout 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:padding="8dp"
android:background="#android:color/white">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="8dp"
android:id="#+id/card1">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgCard"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/add_contact" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvColor"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Card View" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</RelativeLayout>

CardView goes on top of FrameLayout, but declared first

I have simple FrameLayout with support CardView as first item, and TextView as second, so TextView must be on top of inflated view. This works on pre-Lolipop but on 21+ card takes toppest place in layout, why that's so and how to fix this? Same thing with RelativeLayout.
Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout 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="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#ff0000"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="false"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:text="i am top view!"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:textColor="#00ff00"
android:background="#0000ff"
/>
</FrameLayout>
In case someone gets here and the solution for setting elevation doesn't work for them (like in my case, where I needed to draw an image above the CardView and having a shadow on it was not acceptable), you can solve the issue by wrapping the CardView inside another FrameLayout. In the example provided, it would look something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout 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="wrap_content">
<!-- This is the added FrameLayout -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#ff0000"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="false"
/>
</FrameLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:text="i am top view!"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:textColor="#00ff00"
android:background="#0000ff"
/>
</FrameLayout>
I might be joining the discussion a bit late, but if you can afford giving up the CardView's elevation, you can just set the cardElevation property of the CardView in your XML layout to 0dp.
Like so:
app:cardElevation="0dp"
Just add your text view inside the card view, far as I know the z order is undefined inside a frame layout, but last laid out view should be drawn last.
This probably had to do with that card views in lollipop use elevation while they fall back on border drawing code pre lollipop.
This worked for me!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout 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="wrap_content">
<!-- Add this layout as parent of CardView -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#ff0000"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="false" />
</LinearLayout>
<!--Close parent layout-->
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#0000ff"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="i am top view!"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:textColor="#00ff00"
android:textSize="30sp" />
</FrameLayout>

How can I create a 50/50 vertical layout with stacked GridViews?

One of my DialogFragments implements two equal-sized GridViews, one stacked on top of the other. Ideally, my layout would look like this (as seen in Android Studio):
Unfortunately, when I load up the layout on an actual Android device, I get something like this:
When the Kanji GridView is empty, it's completely invisible. Additionally, its height varies depending on the number of elements it has to display. How can I force the bottom GridView to fill 50% of the height as per the layout seen in Android Studio, even when it's empty?
Here is the XML for this particular layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/kanji_lookup_root"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingRight="5dp"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:id="#+id/progress_bar"
android:layout_toStartOf="#+id/search_box_kanji"
android:visibility="gone"
android:indeterminate="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
<SearchView
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#id/search_box_kanji"
android:queryHint="#string/menu_search_hint"
android:iconifiedByDefault="false"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
style="#style/EntryDetailsHeader"
android:text="#string/components" />
<com.tonicartos.widget.stickygridheaders.StickyGridHeadersGridView
android:id="#+id/grid_components"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:numColumns="9"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
style="#style/EntryDetailsHeader"
android:text="#string/kanji" />
<GridView
android:id="#+id/grid_kanji"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:numColumns="9"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
(By the way I'm using the StickyGridHeaders library for the upper Components GridView)
Change the '0dp' layout_height on your two LinearLayouts to 'match_parent'.
You're missing a weightSum attribute on your outermost LinearLayout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/kanji_lookup_root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingRight="5dp"
android:weightSum="2" > <!-- This line is what you were missing -->
...
</LinearLayout>
Tested this as working on device (assuming your EntryDetailsHeader style sets match_parent width and wrap_content height).
