Wrap content is not working on Vertical line in Relative Layout? - android

I am using View with a background colour to create a vertical line in a Relative layout . Wrap content is not working , the line is taking the entire viewport as height. Why is this happening ? attaching my code which is not working
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#f5f5f5"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:ignore="MissingPrefix">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<View
android:layout_width="2dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="21.5dp"
android:background="#a9382b" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/seeall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:textColor="#a9382b"
android:textSize="11sp"
tools:text="SEE ALL" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Setting the height to wrap_content in this case simply will not work.
In general, wrap_content will give the view enough size to contain everything "inside" it (whether that's child views or just the text in a TextView, etc), but your View tag doesn't have anything "inside" it to define the height. In this case, it will grow to fill all available space.
If you want your RelativeLayout to be as tall as the TextView inside of it, and you want the line to go from top to bottom of that size, use the following for your View tag:
<View
android:layout_width="2dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/seeall"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/seeall"
android:layout_marginLeft="21.5dp"
android:background="#a9382b">

Linear Layout won't take the height of its parent in percentRelativeLayout

I am using Xamarin Android, and I have a list view with row views that have the following content in them:
All of these views are wrapped in a PercentRelativeLayout, because I want to keep the widths proportional. So the issue I'm running into is that since the two layouts on the left are left empty and filled at runtime (there is absolutely no way around this) their height is measured out to 0, which then sets the Rowview height to 0, and that then sets the controls layout off to the right to have a height of 0, which then stretches to the size of the largest control inside of it (ex:)
I have tried:
Using layout weights and a height of 0 to allow the layout itself to stretch to fill the parent
Using layout weights on the controls themselves within the layout
Scrapping a layout altogether, and simply wrapping the image buttons in the PercentRelativeLayout, and using layout positions to position them properly
Using percentage based layout widths and heights within the children to fill the height (this only seems to work for the width, but not height)
Adding dummy views as padding to push the controls layout into position
Adding percentage based margins to the layout itself, the children, the padding dummy views, and every combination of those
Not one single thing I have tried has had any effect, the only thing that affects the height of the linear layout is simply hard-coding the height.
My question then is how can I tell this layout to occupy the full height of the rowview once everything has been measured? (Please let me know if you have any other questions to help address this, I'm happy to oblige)
EDIT #1: Here is my xml for the rowview:

Let me know if this works for you at runtime (i've removed some background drawable files which you didn't provided to test this XML).
I've added a TextView inside the RelativeLayout to test his height

Trying to size correctly android layouts

I'm struggling on a layout management so I decided to ask here.
I would like to get 3 layouts working in a certain way.
I have 3 views vertically dispatched into a RelativeLayout (let's call them VTop, VMiddle and VBottom).
VBottom is a Button, I want him to stay aligned with the bottom of the screen and to never move or get resized (actually working).
VMiddle is a scroll view. I want this ScrollView to take all possible place between the bottom button (VBottom) and the top most layout (VTop) but never having it height inferior to an specific size.
I would like to have VTop (A linear layout containing some TextViews and other stuffs) wrapping all of its content as long as VMiddle doesn't get smaller that its minimum size.
Actually the code I have is almost working but when I Inflate too much content into VMiddle, it keeps growing towards the top of the screen and VTop completely disappear. I want VMiddle to stay at it minimum size if VTop doesn't have enough space to wrap his content.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1" <!-- VTop -->
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_RateLayout"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_margin="10sp"> <!-- LOT OF VIEWS, NEED TO BE WRAPPED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE -->
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_RateLayout" <!-- Not visible for now, you can ignore it -->
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px"
android:background="#color/common_google_signin_btn_text_light_default"
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView"
android:visibility="gone" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView" <!-- VMiddle -->
android:background="#4D4A58"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentLayout" />
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:text="commenter"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton" <!-- VMiddle, this one is doing ok -->
android:background="#666"
android:textColor="#f8f8f8"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Thanks for your answers.
Try the following code for the ScrollView -
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView" <!-- VMiddle -->
android:background="#4D4A58"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_below="#id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton">
...
</ScrollView>
Use this, however the kind of UI you want can be easily achieved using Linear layout and using weight and weightSum properties.. also rename ID of the layout and views accordingly
<?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">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/topLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#70AD47"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/btnBottom"
android:layout_below="#+id/topLayout"
android:background="#ED7D31"
android:minHeight="400dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnBottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#4472C4"
android:text="Bottom button" />
</RelativeLayout>
1. Add attribute android:layout_below="#id/linearLayout1" and android:layout_above="#id/eventDetail_commentButton" to ScrollView to keep it at middle position.
2. Use ScrollView and its child LinearLayout height android:layout_width="match_parent" although its not necessary.
No matter how big the top and bottom layout, middle scrollview will always fill the middle free spaces. It will never change the height of top and bottom layout.
Here is the working layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_margin="10sp">
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:text="commenter"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton"
android:background="#666"
android:textColor="#f8f8f8"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView"
android:background="#4D4A58"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_above="#id/eventDetail_commentButton">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentLayout" />
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
Hope this will help~
Use android:layout_below="#+id/linearlayout1"
in eventDetail_RateLayout
I'm pretty sure none of the given answers achieve what you're looking for. What you wanna do is not simple because it involves a circular dependency: you basically want your vTop view to wrap and fill any space left by your vMiddle view (android:layout_above="#id/vMiddle") and at the same time you want your vMiddle view to wrap and fill any space left by your vTop view (android:layout_below="#id/vTop").
The only solution I can imagine would be to check and set the view sizes programmatically, I don't think this is doable only by rearranging your layout.
I finally achieved to get something close to what I wanted. I combined layout_above and below and fixed the size of VTop by making the Huge TextView scrollable. I have now VTop and VBottom at a fixed size and VMiddle taking the rest of the place at the center.
Thanks for your fast answers :)

Android - How do I make the button taller in a linear layout?

I have a linear layout inside a relative layout, and I want to make the buttons 'taller' to fit the height of the linear layout.
I tried adding padding, as you can see in the screenshot, the layout is 'taller' but the buttons are not. I tried 'fill_parent', 'match_parent' but it didn't make a difference. How do I make the buttons expand in height?
<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"
android:id="#+id/timerLayout">
<Chronometer
android:id="#+id/chronometer1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="48dp"
android:text="#string/chronometer"
android:textSize="50sp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/buttonLayout"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="4.0dp"
android:paddingTop="50.0dp"
android:paddingRight="4.0dp"
android:paddingBottom="4.0dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnReset"
android:layout_width="0.0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_restore_white_24dp"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/ic_restore_white_24dp"
android:text="#string/pause_btn"
android:layout_weight="1.5" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnStart"
android:layout_width="0.0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="#string/start_btn"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_media_play"
android:drawableStart="#android:drawable/ic_media_play"
android:layout_weight="1.5" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnSave"
android:layout_width="0.0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="#string/save_btn"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_save_white_24dp"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/ic_save_white_24dp"
android:layout_weight="1.0" />
</LinearLayout>
The extra space you are seeing is from the padding values in your linear layout, and your buttons are already filling the parent linear layout. But your linear layout has specified the following.
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
If you want to see buttons with a larger height, change the height value for your linear layout to something else like:
android:layout_height="300dp"
your linearlayout says height:wrap_content
so the child elements will takeup only as much space as specified.
Try giving either minHeight for linearlayout or simply remove linearlayout and in your buttons specifiy "alignparentbottom = true".
For left-most button give alignparentStart = true.
Take a look at your xml layout file very closely
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/buttonLayout"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="4.0dp"
android:paddingTop="50.0dp" //this guy
android:paddingRight="4.0dp"
android:paddingBottom="4.0dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
the android:paddingTop is the space on the top of every child in your LinearLayout so if you remove it the buttons will fit.

Incorrect height of RemoteViews notification when using linear layout

I've created a notification using RemoteViews with a custom layout. The layout structure is as below.
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="6"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingTop="8.0dip" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="4"
android:divider="?android:listDivider"
android:dividerPadding="12.0dip"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:showDividers="middle|beginning" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The effect of it all appears only in a fraction of the notification height, and not in the full height of the notification. E.g. check-out the buttons in the screenshot at http://i57.tinypic.com/14dzo9i.png (the middle notification is the focus of the question), which are in the last child of the parent LinearLayout, and should be all vertically centre-aligned.
My question is very similar to Height of notification incorrect "match_parent", but since there isn't a real answer present there, I'm asking this. The answer on that question does refer to a way to dynamically figure out the notification height. If that is the solution to use, I'd like to know how to use the height obtained from there to dynamically set the height of the remote view, since I don't see a height setter on the remote views object.
Please note that the height of the image is fine when I use a relative layout instead. Relative layout still has two problems: 1. the buttons are still not vertically centre-aligned and 2. I can only wrap content or fill parent, not divide the available space into the two children linear layouts. Screenshot: http://i59.tinypic.com/o1000j.png
Seems to be working on changing android:layout_height="wrap_content" to android:layout_height="match_parent" for the views within. Somehow missed it earlier, interesting though the behaviour for this combination of values.
Change your Layout to RelativeLayout and use param android:toLeftOf="#+id/...", android:toRightOf="#+id/..." to align your subView in layout.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/image1"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>

Adding view to bottom of layout inside a scrollview

So my layout looks basically like this:
<ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout>
<BunchOfViews/>
<ImageView android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
I have the ScrollView so all of the layout always is visible no matter the height of the screen. The problem is that on a very high screen, I still want my ImageView to be at the bottom. However, a child of a ScrollView don't seem to have a defined bottom. The View is placed at the top of the layout. How can I solve this problem in a neat way?
I ran into the same issue. I never could find a very pleasing solution, but here is how I did it. Maybe someone else has a better way, I hate adding layouts that don't do anything.
My hack was to add a dummy linearlayout at the bottom of the scrollview that has fill_parent to take up all the room and force the scrollview to fill the screen. Then add whatever component I want to that linearlayout.
Here is one of my layouts that does this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="15px" >
<!-- bunch of components here -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/spinner"
android:layout_marginTop="5px"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
android:paddingTop="2px" >
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="20px"
android:paddingRight="20px"
android:text="Delete" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
I had the same issue and found this page:
http://www.curious-creature.org/2010/08/15/scrollviews-handy-trick/
Basically, you set the ScrollView's android:fillViewport to true, which will allow the child view to expand to the same height as the ScrollView itself, filling out the space. You then just need to have one of the child controls' layout_height set to fill_parent and layout_weight to 1, causing that control to "spring" to fill the empty space.
Note that if the contents of the ScrollView are already tall enough to fill the ScrollView, the android:fillViewport has no effect, so the setting only kicks in when needed.
My final XML looks like similar to this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<!-- this expands to fill the empty space if needed -->
</LinearLayout>
<!-- this sits at the bottom of the ScrollView,
getting pushed out of view if the ScrollView's
content is tall enough -->
<ImageView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/footer_image">
</ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
it seems that the linearlayout isn't necessary, all that is important is the fillViewPort.
you could just use
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottomParent="true">
now that you have specified the relativelayout to be at least the size of the screen.
its work for me perfectly android:fillViewport="true"
Joel Malone's answer Adding view to bottom of layout inside a scrollview does that trick. My solution is almost the same, except that I use Space widget to do the work of filling the rest height inside the parent layout. Like this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<android.support.v4.widget.Space
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/footer_image"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Attention:
fill_parent in the other answers is noted as deprecated for a long time;
Compare to an empty LinearLayout to fill the rest of parent layout, I think Space is much more appropriate(it's designed to do that job.)
Finally, don't forget that important attribute at the beginning of ScrollView: android:fillViewport="true". They together make this trick.
just put this attribute android:fillViewport="true" to your ScrolView
and you will got what you need
On your view that you want to be at the bottom use android:gravity="bottom"

This should help you:

ScrollView view = new ScrollView( this );
ScrollView.LayoutParams lps = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams( FILL_PARENT, FILL_PARENT, Gravity.CENTER );
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout( this );
// what ever you want in the Layout
view.addView( layout, lps );
I tried alot to align the Scroll View to bottom of the screen but thats not possible according to this link.
https://newbedev.com/how-do-i-align-views-at-the-bottom-of-the-screen
The way i found was to create a view with 1dp height and aa id (lets say android:id="#+id/bottomView") at the bottom of your XML page.
now just add these attributes to your scroll view..
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/bottomView"
>
Here is how you can use a ConstraintLayout to align the image view at the bottom:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:id="#+id/content_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
