How to make view at the end of textview even if the textview is so long?

I have this layout, where I have text view and an icon next to it.
However, the text is dynamically changing, so sometime it will be too long which push the icon out of the screen.
I tried to add weight to the text but it makes the icon on the right side of the screen which I don't want, I just want it right after the text even if the text go to the next line.
There is my code:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/Text"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:text="llllll"
/>
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageButton
android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:src="#drawable/ic_arrow_drop_down_black_24dp" />
</LinearLayout>
any idea :(?

You can use ConstraintLayout to handle this.
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
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">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
app:layout_constraintHorizontal_chainStyle="packed"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#+id/image"
app:layout_constraintWidth_default="wrap"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="#+id/text"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent" />
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Just simply add one property line in textview "android:maxWidth" like below :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/Text"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:text="llllll"
android:maxWidth="100dp" //it can be your specific size
/>
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageButton
android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:src="#drawable/ic_arrow_drop_down_black_24dp" />
</LinearLayout>

You could use <img> tags in the HTML
to know how to do that see this qution (is-it-possible-to-display-inline-images-from-html-in-an-android-textview)

Put the text view inside a relative layout with match parent as width and height wrap content.
Set text view to the same dimensions ie march parent as width and height as wrap content.
Have the image button in the same relative layout and use alignParentEnd as true. You'll see it always add the end of your text view.
If you choose to do this, set some maxEms and ellipsize end so that the text does not overlap the button. You'll get the value by testing it yourself, depends on the text size usually.
Since you want it as a button I'm suggesting this. If you want it just be an icon with no use, you should look into drawableEnd property of the text view.

how to align the drawable to left of text in textview?

I want to display a drawable and text in a textview. When I use below code it is displaying both but drawable is in left most side of textview.
<app.com.myapp.views.TextViewMedium
android:id="#+id/approve_btn"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#color/color_5eba6f"
android:gravity="center"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/approve"
android:text="#string/notification_approve"
android:textColor="#color/color_FFFFFF"
android:textSize="#dimen/dp_14" />
My text is aligned in center. I want to align drawable to left of that text.Gap between drawable and text should be just 6 dp. Is it possible to do? Or do I need to create a layout with imageview and textview to achieve the same?

Use these tags to set the image in your textView.
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/your_image"
android:drawablePadding="6dp"
Hope this helps!

This can be possible way :
<TextView
android:id="#+id/etName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/edittext"
android:drawableLeft="#mipmap/icon_username"
android:drawablePadding="6dp"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal|fill|left"
android:padding="5dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" />

Try this
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Sample Text"
android:id="#+id/handling"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/emoticons_bear"
android:drawablePadding="6dp"/>

You need to use drawableLeft attribute as below:
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:id="#+id/userFname"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/user_name"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
/>

to do that you must use relative layout like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<!--Your text view-->
<TextView
android:id="#+id/myText"/>
<!--Your image view-->
<ImageView
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/myText"
android:padding_right="6dp"/>
</RlativeLayout>
with that code you ImageView is forced to be at the left of your TextView and by 6dp spacing
Don't forget you must use relativeLayout as a parent layout so you can use toLeftOf

This is possible way to do it
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Your Text"
android:id="#+id/yourTextView"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/yourDrawable"
android:drawablePadding="6dp"/>
If not satisfies your demands you must use separate ImageView and TextView i think.. Hope to help you!

TextView below Image not showing up in Android

I am trying to put a text below an image but they are not showing up in android layout.
Here is the screenshot:
I dont' see any text below image.
And my code: inside a relative layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</RelativeLayout>
Not sure what is wrong?

Assuming you follow Googles Design guidelines
(Tabs with icons and text Height - 72dp;
Icon - 24 x 24dp)
Change 'match_parent' to 'wrap_content' for the ImageViews

The problem is you have put android:layout_height="match_parent" for image views and android:layout_height="wrap_content" for text views. Either use wrap_content for image view or use use a LinearLayout with android:weight property. Using LinearLayout would also solve your problem of alignment if it occurs!

Try setting android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" instead of android:layout_below="#+id/homeicon".
This aligns the text at the bottom of the parent. You might also need to set android:layout_alignLeft="" and align it to the corresponding imageView.
This method will only work, if there is enough padding below the image. This is because the text will now overlap the image.
EDIT:
Another way would be, to set the relative layout to a fixed height you know (like 60dp) and set the imageView to a fixed height (like 40dp). Then the TextView will also show up below the ImageView.

How to align two TextView in a LinearLayout in the same line

I have two TextView in a LinearLayout, I want to align them one to the left (or center) and one to right in the same line. How to do this? I try to use gravity but they ignore it.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="TextView" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>

The easiest way is to change your LinearLayout to a RelativeLayout.
You can use android:layout_alignParentRight="true" and android:layout_alignParentLeft="true". Or to center it use android:layout_centerInParent="true"
See here why gravity won't work
You are using gravity instead of layout_gravity which is what you would want. This post should help clarify the difference
The docs show you available properties.

android:gravity is used to set the gravity of content inside the view. However, in your case the width is wrap_content, hence the content has nowhere to go in the text views.
Use a RelativeLayout with layout_width as match_parent. Then use the android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" and android:layout_alignParentRight="true"with the textViews.

Use it with or without the android:gravity in the second textview and try .
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>

If LinearLayout is Vertical, you can put only an object per line.
You can use RelativeLayout, or else put in a line a LinearLayout Horizontal, that contains textviews
ex.
<LinearLayout vertical>
<LinearLayout horizontal>
<textview 1></>
<textview 2></>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I fixed all my issues with GridLayout...is the best thing bcos u don't need to align anithing to nothing...just put what u want into the matrix (row,column)...and this will allow you to visualize all the field in exactly wrap content of your datas also in landscape is perfect!

How to create the layout for android as on image?

How to create the layout for android as on image?
I try next code:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="kkkkddd"
android:layout_marginLeft="100dp"
android:id="#+id/text_email" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/prompt_email"
android:id="#+id/text_label_email"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/text_email" />
...
but label_email is hidden.

You should place your label-TextView first and set for it fixed width. Than place value-TextView to right of label:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/prompt_email"
android:id="#+id/text_label_email"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="kkkkddd"
android:toRightOf="#id/text_label_email"
android:id="#+id/text_email" />

Try Linear layout with orientation as horizontal :)

Imo a LinearLayout would fit better for this purpose. For instance:
<LinearLayout
android:orienation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="kkkkddd"
android:layout_marginLeft="100dp"
android:id="#+id/text_email" />
<TextView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/prompt_email"
android:id="#+id/text_label_email"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/text_email" />
</LinearLayout>
and you could do this for each pair

make parent Linearlayout. And the use inner linearLayouts. In innerlayouts give gravity horizontal. then give .5 weight to its both childs i.e for "Email" textview & "utkin#gmail.com" weight should be .5 for both. set right alignment for "Email" and set left alignment for "utkin#gmail.com".
It will work perfectly.
