Why layout_weight and weightSum aren't working for me?

Why layout_weight and weightSum aren't working for me? - android

I have a small question about linearlayouts.
Let's say i have, 1 horizontal linearlayout that contains 6 vertical linearlayouts.
I can make all linearslayouts the same width size if i use weightsum=12(of horizontal ll) and layout_weight=2(for vertical ll)
Result :
Now i want the "test1" layout to be 2 or 3 times smaller than the others.
I tried with weightsum=11, and layout_weigth=1(for the test1 layout) and layout_weight=2(for the others). I can't make it work, here is my code...
<LinearLayout 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"

How can i do it?
Thank you.

You need to use : android:layout_width="0dp" for the Linearlayout with the android:layout_weight="1" set as 1.
Now i want the "test1" layout to be 2 or 3 times smaller than the
others
You can reduce the layout weight attribute of test1. to 0.5..
use this layout:
<LinearLayout 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:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="6">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:background="#drawable/border"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="test1" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1.5"
android:background="#drawable/border"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="test" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

How to set the max height of a list view

I have 3 vertical parts on the screen:
Some texts
Listview
Some more text fields
I don't understand why when there are more elements in the listview, it takes the whole screen to the bottom without leaving place for the 3rd part and makes this 3rd part unreachable and not visible.

I am sure you can find a solution only using the constraint layout and removing your linear layouts altogether but I don't know enough about ConstraintLayout to help you there. However you can give weights to the elements inside your Outermost LinearLayout. e.g. assign android:weightSum="3" to your outermost LinearLayout and then android:layout_weight="1" to the inner elements (in your case the other LinearLayouts)

(Android) Why the spacing exist in my gridview?

I am considering about the white blank spacing.
I don't know the reason why white spacing exist in my gridview.
I attached '.xml' and the 'result screen shot. '
I am trying use the gravity things.. but It dosen't work.
Could anyone help me??

It is because you have yout item layout set to match_parent but TextViews to wrap_content. So by default it stays at the start position.
To fix this set your TextViews width to match_parent and gravity to center android:gravity="center"
So your item layout will look as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

Android AlertDialog custom layout distortion

Hi I'm wondering about how exactly alertdialogs inflate custom xml layouts? In my example, the xml looks fine when I look at it in the eclipse editor however when the alertdialog builds it i looks completly different. (Sadly I do'nt have the reputation to post screenshots)
Heres the xml. The layout gets pushed up so to speak, so the bottom half of linearlayouts take up maybe 2 thirds of the page even though they have a weight of only 0.40 (ps if anyone could tell me an alternative to all these linearlayouts I would be gratefull!!)
Thank You

Ok for what I understood all you need is like a header and under that a grid like layout right?? If I'm right TableLayout might be what you need.
Check this xml and see if it helps you

Main.xml file
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/rel2" >

Here, i am adding below xml file into linearlayout llData ..
inflate_page.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:weightSum="2"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgImg"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/grid_default" />
</LinearLayout>

android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtLabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>

android:id="#+id/txtAddField"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>
inflate layout in another using below code:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View menuLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.inflate_page, llData,
true);
Below image is what i want:
Below image is my actual output:
please guide me how to solve this problem of weight. layout not showing properly.

The problem is with the ScrollView. Try to add to the layout setting "fillViewport:true"
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="100dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/rel2"
android:fillViewport="true" <---
>
This way the Scrollview will always fill the screen and solve your problem.
