How to create 'i' number of objects in a layout (by looping)? - android

I need to create i number of photo_view and give it a special amount every time (loop). number of photo_view in every time will be different. What exactly should I do in the code ?
my xml file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/coordinatorLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#color/black">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<com.github.chrisbanes.photoview.PhotoView
android:id="#+id/photo_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/exit_btn"
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/ic_back_ltr" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

Dynamically adding Views to a ViewGroup is what you are looking for. which is done by code not by XML.
In general, there are two ways to add a view dynamically,
either by inflating some layout file in a view then add this view to your parent viewgroup (LinearLayout for ex) by calling the add method on this parent view.
Or by defining a new object of that view and add all params needed to it then add it to the parent viewgroup.
See an example about way 1 here
See an example about way 2 here
in your case you could create a new layout.xml file contains only your custom view com.github.chrisbanes.photoview.PhotoView with all the needed params. then add an id for the parent linearlayout
<LinearLayout
android:"#+id/parentViewGroup"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>
And in your code, loop by the count and add the custom inflated view to parent. like this:
View inflatedView = View.inflate(context, yourViewXML, null);
LinearLayout parentViewGroup = findViewById(R.id.parentViewGroup);
for(int i = 0 ; i<count ; i++){
parentViewGroup.add(inflatedView);
}

Android Studio - How to inflate an xml layout containing a view that use percentage params

I am here because I would like to use multiple times the same cardView layout, changing simply some information contained in it and then adding it to a view contained in the main xml layout.
The problem is that the view to which append the created cardViews is a PercentRelativeLayout, so I need to specify cardView's xml layout using Percent params.
I show you an example of what I tried (with no success) to make it a bit more clear.
main_layout.xml
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/textview"
percent:layout_heightPercent="85%"
percent:layout_marginTopPercent="0.5%">
<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/scrollview_prl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
...here I want to add views programmatically...
</android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout>
...
cardView_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:percent="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/card_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
percent:layout_heightPercent="65%"
percent:layout_marginTopPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginLeftPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginRightPercent="2%"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
Then, this is the piece of Java code I wrote (in a fragment, but this does not matter now)
myfragment.java
...
CardView cv = (CardView)
LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.cardView_layout, null)
cv.setId(currentId++);
PercentRelativeLayout prl = (PercentRelativeLayout)
view.findViewById(R.id.scrollview_prl);
prl.addView(cv);
...
As you can see I simply keep a currentId variable to assign different ids to the cardviews I am going to create.
Clearly, these cardviews must be one below the other, and I do not even know how to add this other param to them programmatically.
The final layout I would like to obtain is something like this:
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/textview"
percent:layout_heightPercent="85%"
percent:layout_marginTopPercent="0.5%">
<android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/scrollview_prl"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:percent="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#id/firstcardview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
percent:layout_heightPercent="65%"
percent:layout_marginTopPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginLeftPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginRightPercent="2%"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:percent="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#id/secondcardview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
percent:layout_heightPercent="65%"
percent:layout_marginTopPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginLeftPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginRightPercent="2%"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:percent="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

percent:layout_marginTopPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginLeftPercent="2%"
percent:layout_marginRightPercent="2%"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
....
</android.support.percent.PercentRelativeLayout>
...
Thanks in advance for your help.
The problem is in your inflate() call. You have to pass a parent value in order for the inflated view's LayoutParams to be interpreted correctly.
Try this instead:
CardView cv = (CardView) LayoutInflater.from(getActivity()).inflate(R.layout.cardView_layout, prl, false);
By passing prl (the PercentRelativeLayout) to inflate(), everything should work.

How can we hide include layout programmatically in Android?

I have to include one layout in my application. So that I have used
<include
android:id="#+id/support_layout"
android:width="match_parent"
android:height="match_parent"
layout="#layout/support"/>
I have referenced this include tag in my java file using View.
View v = (View) findViewById(R.id.support_layout);
But at some point of my code I have to Hide this layout.
so that I used v.GONE
But it's not Hiding.
I want to reference those text and button attributes located in XML programatically.
How can I do that?
There is my support.xml:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/support_layout"
android:width="match_parent"
android:height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt"
android:width="match_parent"
android:height="wrap_content"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn"
android:width="match_parent"
android:height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button"/>
</LinearLayout>
Since <include/> is not a View type in android and visibility is the property of View, we can not access the visibility from included layout's reference.
However if you are using kotlin with view binding, we can get the reference of root of the included layout like binding.supportLayout.root which probably will be one of the View (ConstraintLayout, RelativeLayout, LinearLayout etc.)
Now we have reference of view means we can play with their visibility like below code.
binding.supportLayout.root.visibility = View.GONE
Hope you got the idea.
We need to see your actual implementation of hiding that View you mentioned.
But, straight from reading of your question, I presume that you've might do it the wrong way.
To hide or make a view invisible, use this:
yourView.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Bear in mind that this does not remove the view compeletly; it would still remain in your layout and you could get a reference to it or even try to manipulate it.
To remove it compeletly, use this instead:
yourView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
Now if you call this, yourView would be compeletly removed from the layout. You will no longer able to get a reference to it.
Put that view into a linearlayout and hide the linearlayout. It will work.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/support_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<include
layout="#layout/support"
android:height="match_parent"
android:width="match_parent" /> </LinearLayout>
And don't forget writing Linearlayout instead of View.
Briefly, instead of
View v = (View) findViewById(R.id.support_layout);
Do this
LinearLayout v = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.support_layout);
You can hide this "included" layout with calling setVisibility() :
v.setVisibility(View.GONE)
and show it later with calling :
v.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE)
To reference button and textview from support layout you can use findViewById method on your included View (I'm not sure but I think it's even not mandatory, you can call it directly on your activity's view) :
View supportLayout = (View) findViewById(R.id.support_layout);
Textview txv = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txt);
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
(if it's not working try with : Button btn = (Button) supportLayout.findViewById(R.id.btn);)
-- FYI --
When you give attributs to include tags it override ones of the included layout (there support_layout LinearLayout) so you don't need to do that
you must use like this includedLayoutId.viewId.visibility = View.GONE in this case you can access to included view, now for example:
loading.xml
<com.airbnb.lottie.LottieAnimationView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/loading"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:lottie_autoPlay="true"
app:lottie_fileName="loading.json"
app:lottie_loop="true" />
in fragment_a.xml :
<include layout="#layout/loading"
android:id="#+id/anim_loading"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_80sdp"/>
and finally use it animLoading.loading.visibility = View.GONE
Thanks to the new ConstraintLayout.
This is how I do it with widget.Group
<include
android:id="#+id/bottom_bar_action"
layout="#layout/bottom_bar_back_action"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Group
android:id="#+id/bottom_bar_group"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:constraint_referenced_ids="bottom_bar_action" />
Then you can hide the include layout by doing binding.bottomBarGroup.visibility = View.GONE. Cheers

Elements inside RelativeLayout not showing up

I am trying to design a 3D page curl.
In my mainActivity, I have a viewPager which contains pages to be curled. For each page I have a separate layout file.
In the layout file if i just add a text view like below it is showing up fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="#style/PageTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/green"
android:text="VIEW 1" /> -->
But if I wrap the textview inside relative layout, it just shows a white blank screen and textview is not shown.
<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"
tools:context=".DemoActivity" >
<TextView
style="#style/PageTitle"
android:id="#+id/sampletextview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="VIEW 1" />
</RelativeLayout>
Can someone please help me to know why i am not able to use relative layout in my view layout file:
I inflate the view like this:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) myAppContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view1 = inflater.inflate(mViewIds[0], null);
Try changing the second parameter of the inflate() call from null to the ViewGroup that view1 is added to. Or post the code where you add it (and include the part where you define the LayoutParams).

Include same layout multiple times

I have a common layout (common.xml) which I want to include many times in another layout (layout_a.xml). But it only shows me just one time. Why?
common.xml
<merge xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#android:drawable/alert_light_frame">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:src="#drawable/test"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/imageView"
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:text="test"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
</merge>
layout_a.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include layout="#layout/common" />
<include layout="#layout/common" />
</LinearLayout>
The ids when defined in XML must be unique. You are including two layouts that have views that contain the same id.
Here is how you would go about fixing it.
p.s. Unless there is more code that you are not including in your first layout file, that merge tag is useless.
As btse said, the ids in the XML must be unique.
It can be achieved in this way:
<include android:id="#+id/common1"
layout="#layout/common" />
<include android:id="#+id/common2"
layout="#layout/common" />
For information about how to access the elements inside those two included views, you can check out this blog post.
That's what I had done in my Project with Inflater.
test1is just a Layout made with a LinearLayout(Vertical) with text and a button and mainofferslayout in that case, the main layout with an image.
// Inflate the layout for this fragment
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_offers_display, container, false);
View inflatedLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.test1, (ViewGroup) view, false);
LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.mainofferslayout);
ll.addView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.test1, (ViewGroup) view, false));
ll.addView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.test1, (ViewGroup) view, false));
ll.addView(inflater.inflate(R.layout.test1, (ViewGroup) view, false));
I fixed by setting the layout_height of the RelativeLayout to 250dp since they are overlapped.

Fragment's and sub-Fragment's LinearLayouts aren't stretching to the entire parent size

I'm having an issue where my Fragment view inside a LinearLayout isn't streching to the parent's height and width. But it is a little bit more complicated since I have two Fragments inside that Fragment.
Here's the Activity's view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/main_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center|fill"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="8dp" >
</LinearLayout>
Here's the parent fragment XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout1"
android:background="#FF00FF"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/mtg_player1_fragment_wrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#0000FF"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/mtg_player2_fragment_wrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And the child (player) fragment XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mtg_player_life_wrapper"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mtg_player_life_count"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#00FF00"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:text="0"
android:textSize="140sp" />
</LinearLayout>
I'm adding the parent fragment like this (via clicking on a list item):
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.main_content, fragment, newFragmentClass.getSimpleName()).setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN).commit();
And the children fragment like this (on the parent's onViewCreated()):
mPlayer1Frag = (PlayerFragment) getSherlockActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.player1_fragment_wrapper);
if (mPlayer1Frag == null) {
mPlayer1Frag = new PlayerFragment();
}
if (!mPlayer1Frag.isVisible()) {
((RoboSherlockFragmentActivity)getSherlockActivity()).getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.player1_fragment_wrapper, mPlayer1Frag).commit();
}
mPlayer2Frag = (PlayerFragment) getSherlockActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.player2_fragment_wrapper);
if (mPlayer2Frag == null) {
mPlayer2Frag = new PlayerFragment();
}
if (!mPlayer2Frag.isVisible()) {
((RoboSherlockFragmentActivity)getSherlockActivity()).getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.player2_fragment_wrapper, mPlayer2Frag).commit();
}
What I get is the following:
What basically happened is:
The parent Fragment view didn't stretch vertically to fill the entire activity's view (no pink appeared);
The TextView (green) didn't stretch to cover the children fragment layout (red/blue);
What I want to happen is for the parent UI to stretch in the entire activity, for the children to cover the entire parent and for the TextViews to cover the entire child. I could change it to use a single fragment (and may well do that), but I'd prefer if I could keep it this way, since it feels more organized :)
So, the question is, what am I doing wrong? Can't this be done using two fragments inside another?
In the onCreateView() method of a Fragment always inflate the layout file using the container parameter of that method like this:
inflater.inflate(R.layout.parent_view, container, false);
This way the inflated view will be given proper LayoutParams and it will behave as designed.
