I am using this library to achieve expandable cards and it works fine except for two major concerns viz:
It requires the min api level to be 21 and previously my min api level was 16. Will this work well on lower devices. There's an option to override this in the library's manifest file but I don't think it's a good idea.
I have layout like below which contains another layout with a textview but the text is not showing fully, only the first line is visible. Here's the layout:
<com.alespero.expandablecardview.ExpandableCardView
android:id="#+id/focusCardLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/metaCard"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
app:expandOnClick="true"
app:inner_view="#layout/session_inner_card_focus_pts_layout"
app:title="Focus Points" />
and the inner_view layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/focusPointsTV"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:text="You cannot win matches without scoring points so it's important your players can shoot accurately."
android:textSize="18sp"
android:padding="10dp">
</TextView>
Is this a fault in my layout or the library. I have set input_type to short/long message, still no effect.
Is there other means of expanding-collapsing cardviews android? Thanks.
I tried your code, and I think your issue come from the library.
I know a lib that resolve your issue as well, that is this library
<!-- sample xml -->
<com.ms.square.android.expandabletextview.ExpandableTextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:expandableTextView="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/expand_text_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
expandableTextView:maxCollapsedLines="4"
expandableTextView:animDuration="200">
<TextView
android:id="#id/expandable_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textColor="#666666" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#id/expand_collapse"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="16dp"
android:layout_gravity="right|bottom"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"/>
</com.ms.square.android.expandabletextview.ExpandableTextView>
It's work for me and I hope it will help you too.

As far as I know, the difference between #+id and #id is to create a resource id first time and reuse that already existed resource id in different places. For instance, If we have a Relative layout having two textViews one below another, we shall use #resourceId for the second textView which refers to the first TextView.
The problem is, after updating the android studio to 3.0, #resourceId is not working anymore.To place second textView below the first one, I need to use #+firstTextViewId instead of #firstTextViewId. More specifically I need to use,
android:layout_below="#+id/totalQty"
instead of
android:layout_below="#id/totalQty"
Here is the code
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relBottomLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/totalQty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="abcdef"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/totalPrice"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/totalQty"
android:text="saasdfdsdfsdf"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/totalNetPrice"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/totalPrice"
android:text="abcdsadfsafddgfdgfgdef"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Is it an understanding issue? or a problem from any end? Can anyone please explain?
I just remove + sign at #+id from your code. Here's the updated code
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/relBottomLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/totalQty"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="abcdef"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/totalPrice"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/totalQty"
android:text="saasdfdsdfsdf"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/totalNetPrice"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/totalPrice"
android:text="abcdsadfsafddgfdgfgdef"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I am trying out a simple layout exercise but am struggling to get even a simple layout to work.
In the designer it is as follows:
But when run, the output on an emulator or real phone is:
The Xml markup is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
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"
tools:context="com.example.hceng.myapplication.MainActivity"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="81dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="0dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="E-mail:"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="52dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="18dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me!"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="148dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="96dp" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="266dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="66dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="41dp" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
I am new to this markup language, but I thought it seems simple enough with absolute positioning throughout. In any case, the layout seen in the designer is what I want. Why is the above not working?
According to the documentation
When you drop a view into the Layout Editor, it stays where you leave it even if it has no constraints. However, this is only to make editing easier; if a view has no constraints when you run your layout on a device, it is drawn at position [0,0] (the top-left corner).
This is the reason why you see layout correctly in editor but not on the emulator.
You can try this, if not bound to ConstraintLayout
<LinearLayout 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:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="com.example.hceng.myapplication.MainActivity">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
android:gravity="center">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/email_tv"
android:text="E-mail:" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="266dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:ems="10"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/email_tv"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" />
</RelativeLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me!"
android:gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
Constraint layout has some limitations but I am not sure if colour is one of them.
First
You could try changing the constraint layout to maybe coordinator layout or relative layout.
If that fails
Maybe, the target SDK version in your Android Manifest is too high, if the target version is higher than phone version, it reverts to defaults. So you could try doing placing a lower target version.
I am trying to place 12 buttons in Grid View. Here is my layout XML file.
How could I use RelativeLayout to achieve this? I am new to Android programming.
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/bAries"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Aries"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/aries" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bTauras"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Tauras"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/tauras" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/bGemini"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Gemini"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/gemini" />
According to your question, I assume following are your requirements, hope they are aligned with what you really need:
12 Buttons to be seen as a Grid
how to use RelativeLayout?
Note:
For a simple thing like this, especially where you know you only need to have a definite number of elements(12 buttons) and that number is static, you don't really need to use a complex layout like GridView, where you must have to implement a ListAdapter to provide the dynamically adding buttons. So the most simplest solution you have is as you have also asked, use a RelaiveLayout as I have provided bellow.
I tried something like following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Above layout may render out something similar to the following screen:
Clue:
However, I created this using Android Studio. If you are using Eclipse, I recommend you to start using Android Studio as you are just beginning Android App Development.
For Android RelativeLayouts, please read the following References:
Android official documentation for Relative Layout
An excellently matching Tutorial for your requirement
And you may find ton of tutorials for this purpose just by a single search of Google.
Word of Advice:
Whatever you go through to learn Android development, try to use up-to-date materials.
You should use GridView class for this. Here's an official doc and sample
I have a rather simple ListView row:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tournament_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:textSize="25dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tournament_winner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:textSize="25dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
When the text of "#+id/tournament_name"is long - it overlaps with the one from "#+id/tournament_winner" and I don't understand why.
I tried using android:singleLine="false"to no avail. I also tried using android:inputType="textMultiLine"as the docu says android:singleLine="false" is deprecated but then I get the warning: Attribute android:inputType should not be used with <TextView>: Change element type to
<EditText> ? so no good here as well.
I also tried using android:ellipsize="end" but this doesn't work. I assume it is because the text in the left TextView ("#+id/tournament_name") is NOT long enough to fill up the full width of the ListView (which code is not sowing here).
I was sure that if I use android:layout_width="wrap_content"the two TextView fields shouldn't overlap.
Here is an example (see the second line):
Any further ideas how this could be fixed?
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/tournament_winner" in First TextView.
Also set android:maxLines="1" and Fix width for tournament winner because when it gets long tournament name cant see...
row.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tournament_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/tournament_winner"
android:maxLines="1"
android:text="NAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
android:textSize="25dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tournament_winner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="WINER"
android:textSize="25dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
Thank you very much for your answer - sorry it took me some time to respond. I ended up using your android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/tournament_winner" but left the single line and the margin to the left unused, as the result seemed perfect to me (hope this is also the case for other devices).
One thing though - in the first text view (tournament_name) I had to use android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/tournament_winner"and not android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/tournament_winner" - pay attention to the added +. For some reason I get an error using android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/tournament_winner": Error: No resource found that matches the given name... so it seems that it is possible and NEEDED to define the resource in the time of calling it because the system doesn't know it before it was defined.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tournament_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/tournament_winner"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:textSize="25dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tournament_winner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:textSize="25dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
You can use single text view in place of two and simply display both strings in one text view !!
I'd like to use a 1x1 size Nine-patch image from Android drawable resources.
When I'm trying to display it with <ImageView> in my layout xml file, this one is never showing up on the Android emulator device. Here's the xml code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

>
<RelativeLayout
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:id="#+id/text_label"
android:text="#string/text"
android:textSize="10pt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<CheckBox android:id="#+id/my_checkBox"

android:paddingBottom="10px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:src="#android:drawable/divider_horizontal_bright" />
</LinearLayout>
I tried another one with the same size and I have the same problem it's still blank.
My research on Google was irrelevant. Hope you can find what am I doing wrong here.
Thanks in advance for your help.

What version of the SDK are you writing for?
Take a peek at the divider_horizontal_bright.png files in the different versions :)
It's 99% transparent in 8, but like 50% transparent light grey in 4.
Or, Perhaps you meant divider_horizontal_bright_opaque?
This works for me:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#android:drawable/divider_horizontal_dark"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
/>
