Looked everywhere, couldnt find a solution for this. Setting bold or italic is very easy, why is setting underline not as easy?
Here's my bit of relevant code:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/forgotpasswordHolder"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Forgot your password?"
android:id="#+id/labForgotpassword"
android:textColor="#6BB08C"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textStyle="bold|italic"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:textIsSelectable="true"
android:singleLine="false" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Not a member?"
android:id="#+id/signup"
android:textColor="#6BB08C"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textStyle="bold|italic"
android:singleLine="false"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:textIsSelectable="true" />
</LinearLayout>
I have two "Forgot your password? and a "Not a member?" buttons, and I'd love it if I could underline the text(s).
Thanks in advance!
Use a string resource with <u> tags, like this
android:text="#string/forgotPassword"
Then in strings.xml, create a String
<string name="forgotPassword"><u>Forgot your password?</u></string>
Just create a View below the TextView
As an example...
I am using the EditText with drawableLeft property and set ImageView in Right side for ClearText. My Question is how to put gap between text and Imageview in EditText?
Please help me.
Actually I have Like this,My Screenshot is,
Actually I want to Like this,
Create Gap Between Text and ImageView. How it is Possible?.
My xml file is,
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtSearch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/clear" />
</RelativeLayout>
Okay i got your Question now...you have to use Search view instead of edittext
Here is link:- Check it out
Only this is a solution of your problem
i am using LinearLayout for this
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/chatText"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:padding="8dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/buttonSend"
android:layout_width="50sp"
android:layout_height="50sp"
android:padding="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
Had the same problem a while ago fixed it with drawablePadding
Hello
Use Linear layout with weight instead of Relative as m showing below:-
<LinearLayout
width
hight
orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtSearch"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/search"
android:drawablePadding="10dip"
android:hint="Find"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="text"
android:singleLine="true" >
</EditText>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgSearchClear"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/clear" />
</LinearLayout>
if you found any issue regarding this please let me know..i love to help you
or in relative layou you can use drawable padding
Spartacus thanks :)
I can try to implement your code but It Like this,
and I want to Like this,
Set the right padding of EditText to the width of Clear button. Set all the dimension in dimen folder so that it will be compatible with all device sizes.
I have a custom row for a listview that contains four TextViews.
Here is a screenshot of the layout I am creating:
The reason for multiple TextView is because I need to use different styles on each textview. Bold Name for example.
Here is the XML layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgPhoto"
android:src="#color/Red"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_margin="10dp" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/imgPhoto"
android:padding="10dp"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Name"
android:id="#+id/txtName"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="viewed a promotion by"
android:id="#+id/txtAction"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/txtName" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Dominos Pizza"
android:id="#+id/txtMerchant"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/txtAction" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="14 seconds ago"
android:id="#+id/txtAgo"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/txtMerchant" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
This is a screenshot of what I am trying to achieve:
The question is how do I wrap the TextViews so that it fits inside the RelativeLayout just like in Picture 2? Or is there any other alternative I can use to achieve what I am looking for here?
I think it's possible through HTML code. You should be use to CSS for the wrap the text and then set into the view.
Use only one TextView and change the style with html. Example:
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<h2>This</h2><br><p>is an example.</p>"));
I've created a text line using some TextViews one behind another, like this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textColor="#9b9b9b" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/messageStart"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="3sp"
android:textColor="#color/$selectAll" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/messageTime"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="3sp"
android:textColor="#color/$addRed" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/messageMiddle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="3sp"
android:textColor="#color/$selectAll" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/messageEnd"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/$selectAll" />
</LinearLayout>
I programatically set the different texts, all was working nicely. But, when I added styling attributes, sometimes, the length of the TextView is set to nothing even if it contains some text.
I don't call any setLayoutParams() in my code, so I guess the wrap_content mechanics are the key of this, but I can't figure out what's happening…
Thanks for your help! :)
I have an ImageButton and I want to show a text and an image on it. But when I try on emulator:
<ImageButton
android:text="OK"
android:id="#+id/buttonok"
android:src="#drawable/buttonok"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
I get the image but without the text. How can I show the text? Please help me!
As you can't use android:text I recommend you to use a normal button and use one of the compound drawables. For instance:
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonok"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/buttonok"
android:text="OK"/>
You can put the drawable wherever you want by using: drawableTop, drawableBottom, drawableLeft or drawableRight.
UPDATE
For a button this too works pretty fine. Putting android:background is fine!
<Button
android:id="#+id/fragment_left_menu_login"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button_bg"
android:text="#string/login_string" />
I just had this issue and is working perfectly.
It is technically possible to put a caption on an ImageButton if you really want to do it. Just put a TextView over the ImageButton using FrameLayout. Just remember to not make the Textview clickable.
Example:
<FrameLayout>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button_x"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#null"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/button_graphic" >
</ImageButton>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:clickable="false"
android:text="TEST TEST" >
</TextView>
</FrameLayout>
Guys I need to develop the setting and logout button, I used the below code.
<Button
android:id="#+id/imageViewLogout"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/size_30dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="Settings"
android:drawablePadding="10dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/logout" />
Actually, android:text is not an argument accepted by ImageButton
but, If you're trying to get a button with a specified background (not android default) use the android:background xml attribute, or declare it from the class with .setBackground();
I solved this by putting the ImageButton and TextView inside a LinearLayout with vertical orientation. Works great!
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linLayout"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/camera_ibtn"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/camera" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/take_pic"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
You can use a LinearLayout instead of using Button it's an arrangement i used in my app
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:background="#color/mainColor"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#drawable/ic_cv"
android:textColor="#color/offBack"
android:textSize="20dp" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:text="#string/cartyCv"
android:textColor="#color/offBack"
android:textSize="25dp" />
</LinearLayout>
you can use a regular Button and the android:drawableTop attribute (or left, right, bottom) instead.
Best way:
<Button
android:text="OK"
android:id="#+id/buttonok"
android:background="#drawable/buttonok"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
Heres a nice circle example:
drawable/circle.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#ff87cefa"/>
<size
android:width="60dp"
android:height="60dp"/>
</shape>
And then the button in your xml file:
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_send"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle"
android:text="OK"/>
Here is the solution
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/buttons_line1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btn_mute"
android:src="#drawable/btn_mute"
android:background="#drawable/circle_gray"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btn_keypad"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:src="#drawable/btn_dialpad"
android:background="#drawable/circle_gray"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btn_speaker"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:src="#drawable/btn_speaker"
android:background="#drawable/circle_gray"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_below="#+id/buttons_line1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:text="mute"
android:clickable="false"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#color/Grey"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:text="keypad"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#color/Grey"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:text="speaker"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#color/Grey"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
Best way to show Text on button(with image)
Your Question: How to show text on imagebutton?
Answer: You can not display text with imageButton. Method that tell in Accepted answer also not work.
because
If you use android:drawableLeft="#drawable/buttonok" then you can not set drawable in center of button.
If you use android:background="#drawable/button_bg" then color of your drawable will be changed.
In android world there are thousands of option to do this. But here i provide best alternate according to my point of view. (see below)
Solution: Use cardView with LinearLayout
Your drawable/image use in LinearLayout because it shows in center. And with help of textView you can set text on this. We makes cardView background to transparent.
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="99dp"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/transparent"
app:cardElevation="0dp"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/your_selected_image"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Happy Coding"
android:textSize="33sp"
android:gravity="center"
>
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
here i explain some terms:
app:cardBackgroundColor="#android:color/transparent" for make transparent background of cardView
app:cardElevation="0dp" for hide evelation lines around cardView
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true" its provide actual size of cardView. Always use this when you use cardView
set your image/drawable in LinearLayout as a background.
Sorry, for my Bad English.
Happy Coding:)
ImageButton can't have text (or, at least, android:text isn't listed in its attributes).
The Trick is:
It looks like you need to use Button (and look at drawableTop or setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(int,int,int,int)).
