Layout background color disappears on runtime - android

I'm trying to create a trimmer bar to my video player, on design time it's everything ok but on runtime the background color of my bar disappears
trimmer_bar:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

android:contentDescription=""
android:src="#android:drawable/btn_star_big_on" />
</RelativeLayout>
main_activity:

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</com.tomatedigital.instagram.longstories.ui.TrimmerBar>
</LinearLayout>
i cannot paste the whole code of trimmerbar.java here because it's too long as it keeps the video progress synchronized between the bar and the player... but i've searched EVERYWHERE, none of my class has any mention to setBackground or related the only layout field i handle are the margins

You set tools:background="#ab5442"(It setting just for preview), for setting backgroun in runtime set android:background="#ab5442"
tools namespace just for convinience when developing and not affecting runtime

Placing imagebutton/textview on openCV JavaCameraView in android

I'm using openCV's JavaCameraView in android and i'm trying to add an image button and text view on top of it. I tried to add it from the design and the xml is:
<?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.lama.myapplication.MainActivity">
<org.opencv.android.JavaCameraView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginLeft="-8dp"
android:id="#+id/java_camera_view"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="0dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/imageButton2"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:background="#null"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/loud" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
but this didn't work and the button is not shown, how can I do it?

Android - ImageView overlay another ImageView

I would like to make an ImageView overlay another ImageView like this; only half of the circle green is overlaying the image:
I have tried using RelativeLayout and put both ImageView inside. Then I overlay the circle over the image by using android:layout_alignBottom. It did overlay the but I have no idea how to set the offset so that only half of the circle is overlaying the base image.
EDIT:
Sorry, here is my layout xml code
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="32sp" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_person_black"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:id="#+id/image_view_product" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/image_view_product"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#drawable/image_view_circle"
android:src="#drawable/ic_circle" />
</RelativeLayout>
I get lots of upvote for this answer.So i try to improve that answer. May be this is the better way to do that compare to other two, because this solution doesn't required to fix the layout or divide screen in equal part so may be this is better to do that.

Alternate way Try this
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
// this is your first layout to put the big image
// use src or backgroud image as per requirement
<LinearLayout
android:background="#color/red_error"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
</LinearLayout>
// this is your bottom layout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
// This is the imageview which overlay the first LinearLayout
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/success"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</FrameLayout>
its look like this
found one more solution for that (Edit)
if your big image size is fixed height you can try this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/layoutTop"
android:background="#color/red_error"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp" >
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/layoutBottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_below="#id/layoutTop" >
</RelativeLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/overlapImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_above="#id/layoutBottom"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="-20dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/testimage" />
</RelativeLayout>
Refernce :- Android: Placing ImageView on overlap between layouts
Hope this will help.Good Luck
Try out this way:
Just change layout_width and layout_height according to your need.
<?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:orientation="vertical" >
<View
android:id="#+id/viewOne"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:background="#126989" />
<View
android:id="#+id/viewTwo"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/viewOne"
android:background="#547866" />
<View
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/viewTwo"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#ff7800"
android:layout_marginBottom="35dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
It will look like this:
I would recommend Constraintlayout as it gives excellent control over the positioning of individual view items. Sample based on your example below
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/parentLayout">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_person_black"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:id="#+id/image_view_product"/>
<View
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/image_view_product"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/image_view_product"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#drawable/circle"
android:src="#drawable/ic_add_circle_green_24dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
Use layout_marginTop = -20dp ( Half of your image size ). It will go up.
android:layout_marginTop="-20dp"
put both the image in Relative layout
first define the image you want to put behind the green circle
than define the green circle as
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/Image1"
Than adjust the position by giving margin to the green circle image.
I recommend you to use a framelayout with these two images.
with the refresh imageview at the bottom and the table fan at the top.
Note : As the framelayout behaves like a stack, the item at the bottom will appear at the top.
And do the set the gravity of the refresh icon to be bottom|center to make it look this way.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/ic_fan"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"/>
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/ic_refresh"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center|bottom"/>
</FrameLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="32sp" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ivBackground"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_person_black"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:id="#+id/image_view_product" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-20dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/ivBackground"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#drawable/image_view_circle"
android:src="#drawable/ic_circle" />
I think this should help you i have edited your code and made changes as below
- I change circle imageview height to 40dp and then i give margin top -20 dp so that image will overlay half as you need on background image.
I did not run this code so if you face any issues just let me know i hope this works well for you..

<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

Image under another image not shown Android

Hi I wanna implement following picture
When I go to XML-design of android studio it's exactly what I want but when I run app the straight line under the circle not shown Can any body give me some hint to solve this issue ? ( I also use FrameLayout instead of RelativeLayout but not worked )
Edit : In fact my problem is RelativeLayout which contains straight line not as height as other RelativeLayout. Does anyone knows how to solve this ?!
Edit 2: I change relativeLayout of parent to LinearLayout and it's worked ! I dont know why but it's work !
Here is my row of list after some changes :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The thing is line might actually form, but you are not able to see it, because it's behind the circle. If I'm right, test it by adding this to the circle android:alpha="20". The line could be seen behind the circle. If that works the solution below should work.
Change the fill_parent to match_parent, fill_parent is deprecated.
Since you use match_parent in the first layout.
The solution could be this
Better Implementation would be using this:
| Circle(V1) | TextView with information(V2) |
Align V1 to left and top (with circle and line as center of the layout).
Align V2 to the right of V1.
EDIT
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- this is my straight line -->
<ImageView
android:layout_width="3dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginEnd="-65dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="31dp"
android:src="#f6802e" />
Your line's height matches parent's height, change
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
to
android:layout_height="match_parent">
EDIT #2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</RelativeLayout>
The above code runs and gives you the desired output as well, just replace the imageViews(Also the first RelativeLayout is unnecessary, inflating them takes memory). Here's the screenshot.
Try This.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="3dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginEnd="-65dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="31dp"
android:src="#f6802e" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/circle"
android:layout_width="65dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginEnd="-65dp"
android:layout_marginRight="-65dp"
android:src="#drawable/circle" />

Make ImageView take up all available vertical space and grow width to scale up/down proportionally in RelativeLayout

I'm targeting API level 21 and min is also 21 (I support Lollipop only for now, it's a pet project to learn).
I'm having problems with a custom ListView item layout. Here is my XML:
<?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="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/test_list_item_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:src="#drawable/ic_test"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test_list_item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/test_list_item_icon"
android:textSize="50sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
And here is what it looks like (the icon's red background color is only to see how big the actual view is):
I would like the image view to behave like the following: take up the available vertical space at the 'start'/left of the layout, have the image scale proportionally, and have the width be grown so that the image can be fully shown, like this (pardon my gimp skills):
Is it possible?
Try this for your ImageView
<?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">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/test_list_item_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:src="#drawable/ic_test"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/test_list_item_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/test_list_item_icon"
android:textSize="50sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
In the end I decided to create one more icon size, xxxhdpi, and it all looks nice now.
Many thanks to #corsair992 for information about the bug in one of the comments.
HI wujek the reason for your problem is you set height as wrap content for your relative layout . so it will take the textview's height as its height .then image view will use this as its height .so change relative layout height to match parent. Please try and let me know thanks

try this
if u want to image should capture imageview size use background insted src.
if red background is mandatory use another relative layout as parent for imageview.
hope it works fo u..

Define a LineatLayout with weightsum.
<LinearLauyout
----
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="5">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="4">
</LinearLayout>
you can adjust the weightsum as per your requirement.

Can not get ImageView to display

My intent is to create a list of widgets on a scroll view, with an ImageView in the centre of the screen behind them. Here is what I have, there will be more buttons when all is said and done:
<?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="fill_parent">
<ImageView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:contentDescription="#string/description"
android:src="#drawable/myImage"
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:scaleType="centerInside" />
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#android:color/transparent">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#android:color/transparent">
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/newButton"
style="#style/homeScreenButton"
android:text="#string/new_profile" />
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/loadButton"
style="#style/homeScreenButton"
android:text="#string/load_profile" />
<Button xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/calculatorButton"
style="#style/homeScreenButton"
android:text="#string/calculator" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
On eclipse's xml graphical layout interpreter, the screen is shown as expected. The same is true with the 2 different emulators that I tried, Android 2.2 and Android 4.0.3. But when I send to my actual device, Droid 4 w/Android 4.1.2 the image simply does not show up. I even tried making the ScrollView transparent (android:alpha="0") thinking that it was somehow covering the image up, but nothing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
try eliminating this line from ImageView,
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
it should be present only in the RelativeLayout
so your xml file become
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:contentDescription="#string/description"
android:src="#drawable/myImage"
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:scaleType="centerInside" />
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#android:color/transparent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#android:color/transparent">
<Button
android:id="#+id/newButton"
style="#style/homeScreenButton"
android:text="#string/new_profile" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/loadButton"
style="#style/homeScreenButton"
android:text="#string/load_profile" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/calculatorButton"
style="#style/homeScreenButton"
android:text="#string/calculator" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
I figured it out, the code was fine. My problem was that the image was in /res/drawable but it needed to be in /res/drawable-hdpi.
