I have Listview having comment listing with different height of each row according to comment length. I want to give height to the listview programmatically. I tried to get height of each row, but every time I get the same height for each row.. but each row has different size according to their content. I have used following code:
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter != null) {
int numberOfItems = listAdapter.getCount();
// Get total height of all items.
int totalItemsHeight = 0;
for (int itemPos = 0; itemPos < numberOfItems; itemPos++) {
View item = listAdapter.getView(itemPos, null, listView);
item.measure(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalItemsHeight += item.getMeasuredHeight();
Log.e("HEIGHT", "" + item.getMeasuredHeight());
}
// Get total height of all item dividers.
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() *
(numberOfItems - 1);
// Set list height.
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight;
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
}
You have to wait for it to be laid out and measured.
If you want to force it to do this early for an item which wraps content you can call measure like this:
item.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxWidth, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(maxHeight, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST));
Before calling getMeasuredHeight. Remember though, that this will return pixels not dp so you may need to do some conversion.
Try using ViewTreeObserver :
int mViewHeight =WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
callAddOnGlobalLayoutListner(item);
Method ::
public void callAddOnGlobalLayoutListener(final View v){
view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(
new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
v.getViewTreeObserver()
.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
mViewHeight = view.getMeasuredHeight();
Log.d("Height",mViewHeight+"");
}
}
});
}

Is it possible to determine the height of a ListView before it is rendered on the screen? If my ListView were to have, say 3 items, and the height is confined to these 3 items (and the ListView doesn't take up the entire screen's height), can I determine the height before Android displays the items on the screen?
Use the following method to get and set the height based upon children present
private static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView iListView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = iListView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null)
return;
int desiredWidth = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(iListView.getWidth(), View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
int totalHeight = 0;
View view = null;
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
view = listAdapter.getView(i, view, iListView);
if (i == 0)
view.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(desiredWidth, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
view.measure(desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalHeight += view.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = iListView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight + (iListView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
Log.d("TAG", "ListView Height --- "+params.height);
iListView.setLayoutParams(params);
iListView.requestLayout();
}
You will have to calculate the height yourself if you have kept the height of each item fixed. A view can't return its height before it is made
I used listview inside scrollview and used this code to update listview height:
// method to expand the height of listview
public void updateListViewHeight(ListView list) {
CustomeAdapter myListAdapter = (CustomeAdapter) list.getAdapter();
if (myListAdapter == null) {
return;
}
// get listview height
int totalHeight = 0;
// int adapterCount = myListAdapter.getCount();
for (int size = 0; size < Math.max(shoutsList.size(), postsList.size()); size++) {
View listItem = myListAdapter.getView(size, null, list);
listItem.measure(0, 0);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
// Change Height of ListView
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = list.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight
+ (list.getDividerHeight() * (shoutsList.size() - 1));
list.setLayoutParams(params);
}
The problem is that I request new data from server when the user scroll down, but when I update listview height it auto scroll and request data automatically
i have ExpandableListview inside ScrollView and i know that's not good but i had too, the only solution to show the whole list is by set its height by code using layoutParams
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
ListViewData.length());
this solution is good but i can't figure the right height that i should give in the Params, SO is there a way to know the actual size from the size of the array
Edit:
i came up with a solution that everytime i expand a group of the list am gonna change the height to fit with new geight
try this, Use Child based on listview. setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren() this will set your listview child based height
public class Utils {
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null) {
// pre-condition
return;
}
int totalHeight = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
listItem.measure(0, 0);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
}
}
Your ListView is effectively unneeded in this case. You can as well loop over your adapter's items and just add them to a vertical LinearLayout inside your ScrollView.
In case you do not want to change a lot of code:
Replace ListView.setAdapter with
LinearLayout ll; //this should be the vertical LinearLayout that you substituted the listview with
for(int i=0;i<adapter.getCount();i++) {
View v = adapter.getView(position, null, null);
ll.addView(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
}
If you already use an OnItemClickListener add after View v = adapter.getView(position, null, null); the following
final int position = i;
v.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public onClick(View v) {
yourOnItemClickListener.onItemClick(null, v, position, 0);
}
});
In this case you do not have to worry about any miscalculation in the height.
Try this, it works for my same problem
public static boolean setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter != null) {
int numberOfItems = listAdapter.getCount();
// Get total height of all items.
int totalItemsHeight = 0;
for (int itemPos = 0; itemPos < numberOfItems; itemPos++) {
View item = listAdapter.getView(itemPos, null, listView);
item.measure(0, 0);
totalItemsHeight += item.getMeasuredHeight();
}
// Get total height of all item dividers.
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() *
(numberOfItems - 1);
// Set list height.
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight;
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}}
requestLayout() method is called on the view because something has changed that invalidated its layout - forces redrawing.
you can set a variable in dimensions file for different screen sizes and then multiply it by the number of items of list you want to display.
I am using expandable list view to make 3 - level hierarchy, would like to know how to set internal list height and width.
I knew we have onMeasure for this purpose but in my case it not allowing me to capture whole space of parent list view.
may be I am giving wrong value to it, here is the code which is I am using for setting height and width of child expandable list.
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
widthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(960,MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(800,MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
Currently it appearing as follow
<ParentGroup1 >
<ChildParentGroup>
<Child1>
<Child2>
<child3>
<ParentGroup2 >
and it should appear like below.
<ParentGroup1 >
<ChildParentGroup >
<Child1 >
<Child2 >
<child3 >
<ParentGroup2 >
Please advise/suggest for the same.
Thanks for your time.
Not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but this is how I did it: pass a reference to the parent view and a height measure (in this case, I used the size of the child list) in the constructor to create the child custom list.
public CustomExpandableList(Context context, View the_parentView, int the_heightMeasure)
{
super(context);
WIDTH = the_parentView!=null?the_parentView.getWidth():LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
HEIGHT = the_heightMeasure * 500;
}
EDIT: Or to make the code more consistent, you could pass the width of the parentView and height measure to the constructor instead of passing the parent view itself.
CustomExpandableList(Context the_context, int the_width, int the_heightMeasure)
use this code to calculate expandable list view dynamically:
// calculate the height of expandable listView without expanded
private void setListViewHeight(ExpandableListView expListView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = expListView.getAdapter();
int totalHeight = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, expListView);
listItem.measure(0, 0);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
System.out.println("i " + i);
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = expListView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight
+ (expListView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
System.out.println("params.height = " + params.height);
expListView.setLayoutParams(params);
expListView.requestLayout();
}
// calculate the height of expandable listview dynamically
private void setListViewHeight(ExpandableListView expListView, int group) {
ExpandableListAdapter listAdapter = expListView
.getExpandableListAdapter();
int totalHeight = 0;
int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(expListView.getWidth(),
MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getGroupCount(); i++) {
View groupItem = listAdapter.getGroupView(i, false, null,
expListView);
groupItem.measure(desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalHeight += groupItem.getMeasuredHeight();
if (((expListView.isGroupExpanded(i)) && (i == group))
|| ((!expListView.isGroupExpanded(i)) && (i == group))) {
for (int j = 0; j < listAdapter.getChildrenCount(i); j++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getChildView(i, j, false, null,
expListView);
Log.e("Count", listAdapter.getChildrenCount(i) + "");
listItem.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
// listItem.measure(desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
listItem.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0,
MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), MeasureSpec
.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
System.out.println("totalHeight" + totalHeight);
Log.e("TEST", "gshdkfmjfy,");
}
}
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = expListView.getLayoutParams();
int height = totalHeight
+ (expListView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter
.getGroupCount() - 1));
if (height < 10) {
height = 100;
}
params.height = height;
expListView.setLayoutParams(params);
expListView.requestLayout();
}
I succeeded in some days ago by doing this. It's a little bit more compact and without any additionnal parameter, and it works perfectly.
public static void setExpandableListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ExpandableListView expandableListView){
ExpandableNotesListAdapter adapter = (ExpandableNotesListAdapter) expandableListView.getExpandableListAdapter();
if (adapter == null){
return;
}
int totalHeight = expandableListView.getPaddingTop() + expandableListView.getPaddingBottom();
for (int i = 0 ; i < adapter.getGroupCount() ; i++){
View groupItem = adapter.getGroupView(i, false, null, expandableListView);
groupItem.measure(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED,View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalHeight += groupItem.getMeasuredHeight();
if (expandableListView.isGroupExpanded(i) ){
for( int j = 0 ; j < adapter.getChildrenCount(i) ; j++) {
View listItem = adapter.getChildView(i, j, false, null, expandableListView);
listItem.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
listItem.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0,
View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), View.MeasureSpec
.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
}
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = expandableListView.getLayoutParams();
int height = totalHeight + expandableListView.getDividerHeight() * (adapter.getGroupCount() - 1);
if (height < 10)
height = 100;
params.height = height;
expandableListView.setLayoutParams(params);
expandableListView.requestLayout();
}
Don't forget to add this when you init your View, set your adapter, etc. :
Functions.setExpandableListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(listView);
listView.setOnGroupExpandListener(new ExpandableListView.OnGroupExpandListener() {
#Override
public void onGroupExpand(int groupPosition) {
Functions.setExpandableListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(listView);
}
});
Create one layout xml file for ParentGroup and ChildParentGroup , another layout xml file for Child. Now you are problem is reduced to two level hierarchy. Then In Expandable listview we have Parent view and childview methods to inflate and use the Parent and Child layouts. So in that mehods you can do whatever you want.
Simply remove the width code and it should work fine.
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(999999, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
I know its late, but if anyone has the same issue. You can solve it by creating a Custom ExpandableListView and using "MeasureSpec.EXACTLY":
public class CustomExpListView extends ExpandableListView{
public CustomExpListView(Context context){
super(context);
}
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
widthMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(960, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(20000, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
Hope this helps to anyone. For me its working.
Adding to muhammadSalem's answer. This is how I solved my problem by calculating the height of expandableListView's children's total height.
private fun getSubItemTotalHeight(groupPosition: Int): Int {
val children: Int = mAdapter.getChildrenCount(groupPosition)
val desiredWidth: Int = View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(mExpandableListView.width,
View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
var subItemTotalHeight = 0
repeat(children) {
val child = mAdapter.getChildView(groupPosition, it, true, null, null)
child.layoutParams = ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
desiredWidth, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED)
child.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0,
View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED), View.MeasureSpec
.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED))
subItemTotalHeight += child.measuredHeight
}
val dividerCount = children - 1
val dividerTotalCount = (dividerCount * mExpandableListView.dividerHeight).toFloat()
showToast(mExpandableListView.dividerHeight.toString())
val totalDividerPixels = TypedValue.applyDimension(
TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
dividerTotalCount,
resources.displayMetrics
)
return subItemTotalHeight + totalDividerPixels.toInt()
}
One thing to note is that if you added a divider height for your expandableListview, you should include the calculations for it. What I did is convert the total divider height which is in dp into pixels and added it into the totalHeight. This solved the clipping issues I encountered.
Then to use it would be just :
mExpandableListView.setOnGroupExpandListener { groupPosition ->
mExpandableListView.layoutParams.height += getSubItemTotalHeight(groupPosition)
mExpandableListView.requestLayout()
}
mExpandableListView.setOnGroupCollapseListener { groupPosition ->
mExpandableListView.layoutParams.height -= getSubItemTotalHeight(groupPosition)
mExpandableListView.requestLayout()
}
I need to change the height of a ListView dynamically in my app.
Is there any way to do that?
This piece of code helped me to achieve dynamic listview height.
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.View.MeasureSpec;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class Utility {
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null) {
// pre-condition
return;
}
int totalHeight = 0;
int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(listView.getWidth(), MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
listItem.measure(desiredWidth, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight + (listView.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
}
}
In the main Activity use this Utility class to change the listview height.
phraseListView=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.phrase_listview);
phraseAdapter=new PhraseListAdapter(this);
phraseListView.setAdapter(phraseAdapter);
Utility.setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(phraseListView);
Taken from here
for change height and width dynamically so, try this
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams mParam = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams((int)(width),(int)(height);
listView.setLayoutParams(mParam);
you can also use LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT or LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT instead of height & width
You can use below method to set the height of listview programmatically as per your items:
<ListView
android:id="#+id/lvMenu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
/>
Method used for setting height of listview:
public static boolean setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter != null) {
int numberOfItems = listAdapter.getCount();
// Get total height of all items.
int totalItemsHeight = 0;
for (int itemPos = 0; itemPos < numberOfItems; itemPos++) {
View item = listAdapter.getView(itemPos, null, listView);
float px = 500 * (listView.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
item.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec((int)px, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST), View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
totalItemsHeight += item.getMeasuredHeight();
}
// Get total height of all item dividers.
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() *
(numberOfItems - 1);
// Get padding
int totalPadding = listView.getPaddingTop() + listView.getPaddingBottom();
// Set list height.
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight + totalPadding;
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
Then set it like below code:
MenuAdapter menuAdapter = new MenuAdapter(context, R.layout.menu_item);
lvMenu.setAdapter(menuAdapter);
setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(lvMenu);
Hope it will help you.
First thing to keep in mind is that while getting height of listview using mylistview.getmeasureheight, it always gives height according to the textview/View inside the list which was set during initializing of adapter. So we need to declare the adapter as follows:
myadapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,myarraylist){
#NonNull
#Override
public View getView(int position, #Nullable View convertView, #NonNull ViewGroup parent) {
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
TextView textView = ((TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1));
textView.setMinHeight(0); // Min Height
textView.setMinimumHeight(0); // Min Height
textView.setHeight(100); // Height
return view;
}
};
Now height is fixed to 100. Note that it's the height of text and not the view itself. So keep it in mind when adding padding.
Now set the Adapter:
mylist.setAdapter(myadapter);
Now after every time you add an item to your list call a function as follows:
myarraylist.add(ds.getKey());
myadapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
mylist.setAdapter(myadapter);
setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(mylist);
define the function in same class as:
public static boolean setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter != null) {
int numberOfItems = listAdapter.getCount();
// Get total height of all items.
int totalItemsHeight = 0;
for (int itemPos = 0; itemPos < numberOfItems; itemPos++) {
View item = listAdapter.getView(itemPos, null, listView);
float px = 500 * (listView.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
item.measure(View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec((int)px, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST), View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
totalItemsHeight += item.getMeasuredHeight();
}
// Get total height of all item dividers.
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() *
(numberOfItems - 1);
// Get padding
int totalPadding = listView.getPaddingTop() + listView.getPaddingBottom();
// Set list height.
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight + totalPadding;
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
You can also check if height is set or not correctly by returning true/false. This solution worked for me. Hope this Helps!!!!!
You have to create a new control that extends the listview overwhriting some functions
public class WrapContentListView extends ListView {
public WrapContentListView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public WrapContentListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public WrapContentListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2,
MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
}
#Override
public void setAdapter(ListAdapter adapter) {
super.setAdapter(adapter);
setHeightWrapContent();
}
public void setHeightWrapContent() {
ListAdapter listAdapter = getAdapter();
if (listAdapter == null) {
return;
}
int totalHeight = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < listAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View listItem = listAdapter.getView(i, null, this);
listItem.measure(0, 0);
totalHeight += listItem.getMeasuredHeight();
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = this.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight
+ (this.getDividerHeight() * (listAdapter.getCount() - 1));
this.setLayoutParams(params);
}
}

Personaly I spent so much time trying to find a solution, turns out all I had to do is to set my listview's height to wrap_content.
use customized listview and give height as wrap_content.
