android , moving view in linearlayout - android

I made a linear layout and it contain some Image views . when i move one with (set X(view.get x + 10)) function, it moves... but it moves behind other views. that the view become hidden.
and the other problem is when i get X & Y of the view, its always 0,0. but the view is in the middle of the screen. what should I do??? should i give up with linear layout??
if(wichmov == "right" ){
if(martin.getX() < width){
martin.setX(martin.getX()+ deltax);
}
else if(wichmov == "left"){
if(martin.getX() > 0){
martin.setX(martin.getX()- deltax );
}
}
}
this is how i move it.

When are you trying to call getX()? This might be something to look into: View getX() and getY() return 0.0 after they have been added to the Activity
If you're making the call in onCreate, it'll be zero.

I just figured it out.
I use a relative layout and then set the linear layout as match parent. After designing the background with the linear layout, I define an image view after the linear layout and inside of the relative layout, and then in Java, I set the position of it in the exact place I want it to (front of the special box of linear layout that I wanted it move), and width and height of it too.
The following code will help you to place your view to the exact place of your screen you want it, and set its width and height:
DisplayMetrics metrics = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics(); //getting screen size
width = metrics.widthPixels;
height = metrics.heightPixels;
view.setX(width *5/8); //setting the place
view.setY(height/4);
LayoutParams para = view.getLayoutParams(); //set size of view
para.height = (int) (height/2);
para.width = (int) (width/4);
view.setLayoutParams(para);

Translate view within the same View Group

I want to translate this circle image percentage wise within the same view group. The New location could be anything 30% or 50% or 100% according to data I will get.
How can I achieve this?
Try this code:
mContainerView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
mContainerView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
// Start animation here so getHeight won't return 0
int maxTranslateDistance = mContainerView.getHeight() - mCircleView.getHeight();
float percent = 1; // Within 0 - 1
mCircleView.animate().translationY((int)(maxTranslateDistance * percent)).setDuration(0).start();
}
});
mContainerView is your container LinearLayout and mCircleView is the circle view. You calculate the maximum distance can be translated by both the height, multiply by the percentage (0 - 1) to get the final distance.
You can remove getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener part if you start the animation after the layout is fully drawn on the screen.
the LL should contain a space on top of the circle with height="0dp". when data received, you should set weight attribute of the space to
100-(received_percentage). remember to set weight_sum of LL to 100.

Layout width and height being ignored

I have a dialog with a layout inside and a SurfaceTexture with a video stream. When I receive the width and height from the video, I resize my layout like this:
private void resizeView(final VideoFormatInfo info) {
final Size size = calculateSize(info.getWidth(), info.getHeight());
mActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
final ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = mInnerLayout.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = size.x;
layoutParams.height = size.y;
Log.i(TAG, String.format("run: setting innerlayout bounds to %d,%d", size.x, size.y));
mInnerLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
}
});
}
Now I have a fullscreen button that is supposed to resize the layout to the whole screen. But when I press it, the layout remains in a small area of the screen.
When I check the log the proper value on size.x and size.y is there (the bounds of the screen), yet the layout is not properly resized.
The innerlayout is added to a customView named "VideoPlayer". I set the color of the videoplayer background to red so when I switch to fullscreen the whole screen turns red, except for the video stream in the middle. This means that the underlying view is being properly resized but the innerLayout is not for some reason.
Funny thing is, I have another layout over the video render that creates a "flash effect" to simulate a camera flash when taking a snapshot. When that flash effect is triggered, then the video is resized to the whole screen.
So this is my layout tree:
VideoPlayerView (CustomView, not VideoView)
innerLayout (RelativeLayout)
videoSurfaceTexture (SurfaceTextureView)
flashLayout (RelativeLayout)
I also set this for debugging:
#Override
public void onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged(final SurfaceTexture surfaceTexture, final int width, final int height) {
Log.d(TAG, "onSurfaceTextureSizeChanged size=" + width + "x" + height + ", st=" + surfaceTexture);
Log.i(TAG, String.format("innerlayout bounds are %d,%d", mInnerLayout.getLayoutParams().width, mInnerLayout.getLayoutParams().height));
}
And the values on the inner layout are the proper values (those of the whole screen) when I press fullscreen, but the layout is not resized. I can tell it's the layout not being resized because I changed its background color to green and added some padding and I can see it in the center of screen taking a small space.
It looks as though somehow the view is not being updated with the layout changes.
I am running out of ideas here. I tried invalidate(), postInvalidate() and forceLayout() but those dont work.
You missed one important part of forceLayout():
This method does not call requestLayout() or forceLayout() on the parent.
So make the parent do a layout as well:
mInnerLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
mInnerLayout.forceLayout();
mInnerLayout.getParent().requestLayout();
final ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = mInnerLayout.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = size.x;
layoutParams.height = size.y;
Log.i(TAG, String.format("run: setting innerlayout bounds to %d,%d", size.x, size.y));
ViewGroup parent = ((ViewGroup)mInnerLayout.getParent());
parent.removeView(mInnerLayout);
mInnerLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
parent.addView(mInnerLayout);//you might need to get the index so you slot it in there.
This will do. -(all thoughts)
EDIT
i didnt want to add explanation because it was all thoughts and i needed verifying if it will work
But the explanation for my code is LayoutParams are what the Parent uses to layout its children hence it is useful only in the laying out pulse or time.
Changing the layoutParams object makes the View object dirty, other factors need to be met before a dirty View is layed out, so that is why the values change but the View is not changed.
you could have also just called View.invalidate() and View.requestLayout() on that particular View or Parent and it will also solve your problem, calling View.invalidate() alone will not do instantly for you. eg
layoutParams.width = size.x;
layoutParams.height = size.y;
Log.i(TAG, String.format("run: setting innerlayout bounds to %d,%d", size.x, size.y));
//re-setting the layout params is also not neccessary
mInnerLayout.invalidate();
mInnerLayout.requestLayout();
The reason the first approach solves your problem is because the View is remove and added which calls for a Laying out to be processed
:) also you should have just accepted it and let the bounty period elapsed :)
use Inflator like
View view = inflater.inflate( R.layout.item /* resource id */,
MyView.this /* parent */,
false /*attachToRoot*/);
for more check Layout params of loaded view are ignored

ImageViews added to FrameLayout have zero dimensions

I am developing a custom ViewGroup that contains a number of views. In the constructor, I create a number of FrameLayouts that will each contain two ImageViews. Each Framelayout and the child views are created using the following code.
FrameLayout frame = new FrameLayout(context);
ImageView digitView = new ImageView(context);
digitView.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
frame.addView(digitView,
new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
ImageView bezelView = new ImageView(context);
bezelView.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
bezelView.setImageResource(R.drawable.bezel);
frame.addView(bezelView);
this.addView(frame, params);
In the onMeasure callback I set the dimensions of the custom ViewGroup
this.setMeasuredDimension(254, 43);
and in the onLayout callback, I calculate the dimensions of each of the FrameLayouts and call the layout method for each
#Override
protected void onLayout (boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
{
if (changed)
{
float width = (float)(right - left) / (float)this.digits;
if ((int)(width/ASPECT_RATIO) > bottom- top)
width = (float)(bottom - top) * ASPECT_RATIO;
this.digitWidth = (int)width;
this.digitHeight = (int)(width/ASPECT_RATIO);
this.xOffset = ((right - left) - (this.digits * this.digitWidth))/2;
this.yOffset = ((bottom - top) - this.digitHeight)/2;
for (int i = this.digits-1; i >=0; i--)
{
int x = xOffset + i * this.digitWidth;
this.placeFrames.get(i).layout(x, this.yOffset, x + this.digitWidth, yOffset + this.digitHeight);
}
}
}
The issue I am having is that the FrameLayouts are being correctly sized and positioned within the custom GroupView, but the ImageViews are not being resized by the FrameLayouts - they have zero width and height. I validated this using the HierarchyViewer.
I think I've missed something - I assumed that the layout method on the FrameLayout would take care of resizing the child ImageViews based on the layout parameters passed in when they were added to the FrameLayout as children, but it seems not.
A pointer in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I assumed that the layout method on the FrameLayout would take care of resizing the child ImageViews based on the layout parameters passed in when they were added to the FrameLayout as children, but it seems not.
You are not layout() these ImageView objects yourself nor calling super.onLayout()..

When is the width of an Android View set?

I have a little issue on what sequence things are being called when adding stuff to a RelativeLayout. I have a class extending Activity (name it RelActivity) where I want to create a RelativeLayout and put several custom Views (name it cusView) into that RelativeLayout. The topMargin and leftMargin of a custom View is calculated by using the position of another custom View (i.e. the first custom View has to be positioned directly by setting a number to topMargin and leftMargin). Please note that the Rules of RelativeLayout is not sufficient in this case.
So, over to the problem. In my RelActivity I do this:
Create a RelativeLayout (name it relLayout)
Iterate a cursor with cusViews recieved from a database
For the first cusView -> Set position by topMargin and leftMargin using a LayoutParameter
For the other cusViews -> calculate their topMargin and leftMargin by using one of the other cusViews and a LayoutParameter
Set RelActivity's contentView to relLayout
What happens is that all cusViews but the first one are squeezed in the top left corner because both leftMargin and topMargin are always calculated to be zero. This happens because I use the width of the cusViews to calculate the topMargin and leftMargin, and the width of the cusView has not given a value yet.
Is the width first calculated in the cusView's overrided method onSizeChanged()? Is the onSizeChanged() method get called first when the layout is presented on the screen? If so, how do I work around this issue? Do I have to calculate the positionings after onSizeChanged() is done?
Edit: Here is a minimum working example:
Here is my onCreate in RelActivity:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
relLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
cusViews = new ArrayList<CusView>();
listParams = new ArrayList<RelativeLayout.LayoutParams>();
readDBandSetLayout();
setContentView(relLayout);
}
There is too much information in the readDBandSetLayout() method to present it all here. below are the most important details. If I create the LayoutParams in the following way it works fine, the cusViews are listed downwards and rightwards of eachother:
queryCursor = customApplication.customData.query( number); //Fetches cursor
for ( int i = 0; i < numberOfRows; i++ ){
if ( i == 0 ){
LayoutParams p = new LayoutParams(this.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.small), this.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.small));
p.topMargin = 50;
p.leftMargin = 50;
listParams.add(p);
}
else{
LayoutParams p = new LayoutParams(this.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.large),this.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.large));
p.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, cusViews.get(i-1).getId());
p.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, cusViews.get(i-1).getId());
listParams.add(p);
}
relLayout.addView(cusViews.get(i), listParams.get(i));
}
However, what I want to do in the else statement is something like:
else{
LayoutParams p = new LayoutParams(this.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.large),this.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.large));
//Here I want to calculate cusView2Topmargin and cusView2Leftmargin based on the widths of the first or previosly positioned cusViews. But here the widths are 0 since they haven't been calculated yet.
p.topMargin = cusView2Topmargin; //Always zero
p.leftMargin = cusView2Leftmargin; //Always zero
listParams.add(p);
}
So the problem lies in that the widths of the cusViews are zero at the point I need them to calculate the layout parameters topMargin and leftMargin.
Unfortunately I cannot use the RelativeLayout's Rules for what I want to achieve. If there were some way to create rules like RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF and RelativeLayout.BELOW I could do it like that. Is this possible?
Its not very clear what your goal is for this layout. It might well be possible to use a simple LinearLayout to get what you want.
If you want to size these from a database lookup then try simply adding each of the views, using addView() first, storing a reference to each, then go back and sett the margins to place them in the proper positions.

How to get or compute the width/height of an inflated view

How do I compute the width and height of an inflated View if the parent is a PopupWindow, not a ViewGroup? I cannot use LayoutInflator.inflate(int resId, ViewGroup parent, attachToRoot boolean) because PopupWindow is not a ViewGroup, so I use LayoutInflator.inflate(int resId) instead, but after that I getWidth() and getHeight() return zero :(
I need to resize the PopupWindow to fit the View, but cannot do so until the View has a parent. Do I have a chicken-and-egg problem?
By the way the View is a subclass of RelativeView so calculating it manually is essentially out of the question.
Thanks in advance,
Barry
Actually popupWindow supports "wrap content" constans, so if you want popup be exact as your view - use this:
popup = new PopupWindow(context);
popup.setWidth(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
popup.setHeight(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
--other options--
getWidth() and getHeight() returns zero, because view have size only after drawing on the screen. You can try to get values from LayoutParams of inflated view.
If there is fill_parent value - you are in egg-chicken situation.
If there is values in px or dp you can manually calculate size in pixels:
Math.round(TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dpSize, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics()));
If there is wrap_content value - you can use view.measure() method - all children and view itself will be measured, and you can get view.getMeasuredHeight() and view.getMeasuredWidth().
As Jin35 said, your problem was that the view's width and height haven't been calculated yet...the dimensions aren't calculated until after the layout pass.
Using a fixed width and height from dimension resources (e.g. from a values/dimens.xml file) is one workaround, since then you don't need to wait for the view's onMeasure to occur -- you can get the value of the same dimension resource you used for the view you're interested in, and use that.
A better solution is to just delay your calculations until after the onMeasure happens. You can do that by overriding onMeasure, but a more elegant solution is to use a temporary OnGlobalLayoutListener like this:
View popup = LayoutInflator.inflate(int resId);
if(popup != null) {
// set up an observer that will be called once the listView's layout is ready
android.view.ViewTreeObserver viewTreeObserver = listView.getViewTreeObserver();
if (viewTreeObserver.isAlive()) {
viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new android.view.ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
// This will be called once the layout is finished, prior to displaying.
View popup = findViewById(resId);
if(popup != null) {
int width = popup.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = popup.getMeasuredHeight();
// don't need the listener any more
popup.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
}
});
}
}
Please try this:
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Log.e("", "" + display.getHeight() + " " + display.getWidth());
