I have three identical buttons in one linear layout.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_clear"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Kamera öffnen" />
<Button
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_clear"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Bild hochladen" />
<Button
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_clear"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Abbrechen" />
</LinearLayout>
If I turn my device from horizontal to vertical, the text of the first two buttons need a wordwrap.
The problem is, that the buttons change their height -> the two buttons with wordwrap have a lower height than the third button with only one text line.
Horizontal view:
Vertical view:
Why is that happening and how can I prevent it?
Hope this following xml will resolve your problems.
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:weightSum="3">
<Button
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_clear"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Kamera öffnen" />
<Button
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_clear"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Bild hochladen" />
<Button
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_clear"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:text="Abbrechen" />
Use weightSum on root layout while your are using layout_weight coz it will make conflict when you have more view or complex view. You should also use layout_width/height="0dp" depending on root layout orientation for getting the advantage of layout_weight. Because you trying to control your view using weight. Thank you

I'm trying to create a layout (which I could include in other layouts), which contains 3 Image buttons (back, menu, forward).
Those 3 Image buttons should be on the same line (because later I would include this layout to other layouts in the bottom of each layout)
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I can't see the all 3 Buttons, and they are not in the same row (same horizontal line)
<?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="horizontal">
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuBack"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Back"
android:background="#drawable/back_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuMenu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Menu"
android:background="#drawable/HomButton"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuForward"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Forward"
android:background="#drawable/forward_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
</LinearLayout>
it won't fit because it looks like some of your images are way too big, but we can proportionally weight it so it'll fit.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="3">
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuBack"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Back"
android:background="#drawable/back_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuMenu"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Menu"
android:background="#drawable/HomButton"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuForward"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Forward"
android:background="#drawable/forward_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
</LinearLayout>
using weightSum and layout_weight, 3 and 1, we ensure they all each take 1/3 of the space in your linearlayout (oh, and layout_width is 0 because layout_weight overrides it)
You can use LinearLayout with orientation as "horizontal". This will make all the views appear in a row. This LinearLayout can reside as a nested layout inside a another layout, like for example RelativeLayout. You can use this layout design by importing it in other XMLlayouts too.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuBack"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Back"
android:background="#drawable/back_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuMenu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Menu"
android:background="#drawable/HomButton"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuForward"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Forward"
android:background="#drawable/forward_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
</LinearLayout>
Looks like different sized images.
Assuming you have these in a horizontal linear layout; Try changing the height to a fixed dp and put the weight to 1 for all three imagebuttons
Example:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttomMenuBack"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:text="Back"
android:background="#drawable/back_button"
android:onClick="onClickButtomMenu"/>
If you do this for all three imagebuttons, they will fill the screen and all be the same height, right beside each other.
I have 4 buttons that I space out evenly using layout_weight="1" and layout_width="0dp". However, on large tablet layouts the buttons are too spread out and looks ugly, so I want to set a maxWidth for all of them, and having empty spaces on both sides of the entire LinearLayout instead (so the four buttons are clustered to the center). However, crawling through StackOverflow, many say they don't work together. Is there a way for me to achieve what I want to do above?
tl;dr:
Below a certain width (say, 100dp), all 4 buttons are spaced evenly.
If layout requires buttons to be bigger than 100dp, all 4 buttons are set to 100dp width and stick together, leaving space on both sides of the layout.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/layout_height"
android:background="#drawable/layout_background"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/button_background"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/button_background"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/button_background"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/button_background"/>
</LinearLayout>
Try this
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/layout_height"
android:background="#drawable/layout_background"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:maxWidth="100dp"
android:background="#color/button_background"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
A simple hack could be
Wrap your button with a Linear layout and set weight to this layout
Set max width to button inside this sub layout
try this one `
<Button
android:background="#color/button_background"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp" />
<Button
android:background="#color/button_background"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp" />
<Button
android:background="#color/button_background"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp" />
<Button
android:background="#color/button_background"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp" />
`
add margin to each button as you want .
I am trying to add dynamic multiple views horizontally in a LinearLayout. The problem i am facing is "all views are not displayed". Only few views are displayed and other are not displayed. All views should be auto adjusted in the LinearLayout.
I tried with FrameLayout also. But no success.
Any suggestions.
Use Linear layout like
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layLanguage"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:text="Select Language "
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#000000" />
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spnLang"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:entries="#array/selectLang"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
use layout_weight for auto adjusted for layout as per your mobile screen size
I have a problem with a layout in android. I want that two views should have the equal width, and they should almost use the full width of the screen. Each view should contain a centered label.
It should look like this when it's done:
Here is what I have so far:
<?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">
<View
android:id="#+id/view1"
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />
<View
android:id="#+id/view2"
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="90dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
I just have placeholder values for the width right now.
Thanks.
You have to use android:layout_weight attribute in xml so try below code hope it will resolve your problem :-
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button
android:text="Register"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:text="Not this time"
android:id="#+id/cancel"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
To create a linear layout in which each child uses the same amount of
space on the screen, set the android:layout_height of each view to
"0dp" (for a vertical layout) or the android:layout_width of each view
to "0dp" (for a horizontal layout). Then set the android:layout_weight
of each view to "1"
For more info you need to read Linear layout.
It will be easier with LinearLayout, set the layout to match_parent with horizontal orientation.
After that, set layout_width to 0px and layout_weight=1 in both of your view.
See this for good explanation :
Layout buttons so each divides up the space equally
You have to use layout_weight attribute for this.
<Button
android:text="Register"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:text="Not this time"
android:id="#+id/cancel"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dip"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
I have a header that I am working on and I got the buttons to render in a single row, but one button does not fit on the screen and there is a space between the buttons.
Here is my layout for the header so far:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button android:id="#+id/home"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Home"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/questions"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Questions"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/home" />
<Button android:id="#+id/businesses"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Businesses"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/questions"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/learn"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:text="Learn"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/businesses"
/>
<Button android:id="#+id/extra_help"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Help"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/learn"
/>
</LinearLayout>
How can I make each button smaller, and make it so there is no space between them? Also, what is some devices have narrower screens? How do I make sure the header fits into all the screens?
Thanks!
You could use a LinearLayout and set each of the Button's layout_width to 0dp and layout_weight to 1. That way, the entire space of the LinearLayout would be equally distributed among your Buttons.
Use RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout. Than whichever screen you have it will fit in properly.
