Get child view size within onMeasure

Get child view size within onMeasure - android

I have listView with items created dynamicaly.Each item is my custom view and contains(from top to bottom) header,imageView and footer.I set item's height in the onMeasure method.I'd like imageView's height to be exactly
image_height=item_height-(footer_height+header_height)
I set footer/header height in the xml(constant value)
However when I try to get footer/header height it returns 0
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthSpec, int heightSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthSpec,heightSpec);
int widthMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(widthSpec);
int widthSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthSpec);
int heightMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(heightSpec);
int heightSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightSpec);
//float ar=896f/768f;
int itemWidth=widthSize/IMGS_PER_ROW;
int calculated_width =widthSize;
int calculated_height = (int) (itemWidth*(1/IMG_ASPECT_RATIO));
if(!initialized) {
Image img=new Image(this.getContext());
int dy=((ImageView)this.findViewById(R.id.separator)).getHeight();//returns 0
Log.d("item",calculated_width+","+calculated_height+","+dy);
initialized=true;
}
this.setMeasuredDimension(calculated_width, calculated_height);
}
Item layout:

How to fill remaining space in layout without overdraw another elements?

I created a new small example to explain my new problem. In the example I created a RelativeLayout that fills the whole screen. And 3 children :
Custom view (PView) created to draw proportional view that must fill all free space by width in portrait mode and free space by height in landscape mode without overlay on top and bottom of FrameLayout (pink)
FrameLayout with id top that must show above middle (red)
FrameLayout with id bottom that must show below middle (yellow)
But now in landscape mode middle item overdraw top and bottom. Have anyone idieas how to fix it ?

Add LinearLayout below Relativelayout and use its orientation to arrange your content vertically. Use alignparenttop, alignparentbottom and centerinparent attribute. It will give you the same output in both orientation.

Strange Black Background after setMeasuredDimension in Custom ImageView

I have a library that allows for CircularImageView but I have a problem I can't fix.
I add it in my layout this way:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.mikhaellopez.circularimageview.CircularImageView
android:id="#+id/circularImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/test"
app:civ_border="true"
app:civ_border_color="#3f51b5"
app:civ_border_width="8dp"
app:civ_shadow="true"
app:civ_shadow_color="#3f51b5"
app:civ_shadow_radius="10" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="240dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<SeekBar-
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<!-- ... -->
</LinearLayout>
On some picture I have a black background that appears in the view (On PNG images but ic_launcherfor example works well):
I can fix the problem when I change the onMesure method.
Before:
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int width = measureWidth(widthMeasureSpec);
int height = measureHeight(heightMeasureSpec);
int imageSize = (width < height) ? width : height;
setMeasuredDimension(imageSize, imageSize);
}
After:
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int width = measureWidth(widthMeasureSpec);
int height = measureHeight(heightMeasureSpec);
/*int imageSize = (width < height) ? width : height;
setMeasuredDimension(imageSize, imageSize);*/
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
But with this modification my view isn't centered:
Could someone help me so to fix the black background or find a new way to center my view?

Whatsapp Message Layout - How to get time-view in the same row

I was wondering how WhatsApp handles the time shown in every message.
For those who don't know:
If the message is very short, the text and time are in the same row.
If the message is long, the time is in the bottom right corner - the text wrapped around it.
With a RelativeLayout and toLeftOf I would get 1) but not 2) as previous lines would be "cut off" at the position of the time view. Same behaviour If i use a LinearLayout.
So I tried to use a FrameLayout or a RelativeLayout without any connection between text and time.
However, if the text is as long as the message-view is big, both views would overlap.
If I put blank characters to my message I wouldn't have the time on the right.
Do they really have some kind of text-wrapping-lib for this or is it possible to do only with layouts?
Here is the requested screenshot:

#Hisham Muneer 's answer very good.
But there are some problems. For example:
If the TextView has 2 full lines (end to end), the text will
intersect with datetime text layout. Finally, the views will
look like onion effect.
The text line wraps can't works efficiently. You must control this
lines and relocate the datetime view.
I'm going to share my solution, if you will need like this problem.

You can modify layout xml and some sections related your scenario.
There are 2 important point: you must define in layout xml "viewPartMain", "viewPartSlave" attributes. Because the code will decide measure via your main(chat textview) and slave(datetime text view) elements.
I wish have good days. Greets.

Adding HTML non-breaking spaces did the trick. Tested the code on most devices and working absolutely fine. Maybe whatsapp is also doing the same thing. Below is the chat code:

txtMsgFrom.setText(Html.fromHtml(convertToHtml(txtMsgFrom.getText().toString()) + "         ")); // 10 spaces

Its easier with Unicode from here.
So with this you can archive the Unicode format
new TextView("Hello\u00A0world");
better than HTML string.

Based on #Sinan Ergin answer but slightly improved:
less layouts
simplified gravity + layout_gravity usage
left + right layout files
FrameLayout instead of RelativeLayout
converted to Kotlin
no attrs.xml & style references

I propose another solution

mText.setText("aaaaa dfsafsa afdsfa fdsafas adfas fdasf adfsa dsa aaaa dfsafsa afdsfa fdsafas adfas fdasf adfsa");
ViewTreeObserver vto = mText.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override

Layout layout = mText.getLayout();
int lines = layout.getLineCount();
int offset = layout.layout.getLineWidth(lines - 1);
int freeSpace = width - offset;
TextView hour = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
hour.setText("12:20");
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
if (freeSpace > WIDH_HOUR) {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, R.id.activity_main_text);
} else {

Two Public Methods
public abstract int getLineCount ()
Return the number of lines of text in this layout.
public int getLineWidth(int line)
Gets the unsigned horizontal extent of the specified line, including leading margin indent and trailing whitespace.

You can use the layout and code below to achieve the desired effect.
Source code gist
What I have used is get the width of the text + the time layout and check if this exceeds the container layout width, and adjust the height of the container accordingly. We have to extend from FrameLayout since this is the one which allows overlapping of two child views.
This is tested to be working on English locale. Suggestions and improvements are always welcome :)
Hope I've helped someone looking for the same solution.

I guess the easiest way to achieve this kind oflayout would be to add enough blank space in your message to be sure there is enough space on the right to not cover the time (I don't see any other easy way to have a margin/padding/positioning for the last line of your text only)
Then you just place the time in the relative as an align bottom right

I suggest other solution. If you know max bubble width and time width, then you can precalculate how to place your views.
Layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="12sp"
tools:text="This is text"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="10sp"
tools:text="10:10"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Code:
fun setTextAndTime(textView: TextView, timeView: TextView, text: String, time: String) {
// screen width - offset from bubble
val maxWidth: Int = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.widthPixels - context.resources.getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.bubble_offset)
val timeWidth: Int = getTextWidth(time, 10f)
textView.text = text
timeView.text = time
textView.measure(makeMeasureSpec(maxWidth, EXACTLY), makeMeasureSpec(0, UNSPECIFIED))
val offset = textView.layout.getLineWidth(textView.layout.lineCount - 1)
val freeSpace = maxWidth - offset
val moveTimestampBelow = freeSpace < timeWidth
val multilineContent = textView.layout.lineCount > 1
val params = RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)
when {
moveTimestampBelow -> params.apply {
addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, textView.id)
addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT)
}
multilineContent -> params.apply {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, textView.id)
addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT)
}
else -> params.apply {
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_BOTTOM, textView.id)
addRule(RelativeLayout.END_OF, textView.id)
}
}
timeView.layoutParams = params
}
private fun getTextWidth(text: String, textSizeSp: Float): Int {
val textPaint = Paint()
val pxSize = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, textSizeSp, context.resources.displayMetrics)
textPaint.textSize = pxSize
textPaint.style = Paint.Style.FILL
val result = Rect()
textPaint.getTextBounds(text, 0, text.length, result)
return result.width()
}

The previous answers didn't satisfy my needs as they were too complex and the scrolling on RecyclerView was way too slow! I could feel the stutter while scrolling. So, I modified #Rahul Shuklas answer to make it more efficient. I am sharing my result below. The code is self explanatory, I have added comments for more understandability.
class ChatBubbleLayout : FrameLayout {
constructor(context: Context) : super(context) {}
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs) {}
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {}
#TargetApi(21)
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int, defStyleRes: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes) {
}
override fun onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec: Int, heightMeasureSpec: Int) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec)
doMeasure()
}
private fun doMeasure() {
val messageTextView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tv_message)
val dateTextView = findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tv_message_time)
// Message line count
val lineCount = messageTextView.lineCount
// Message padding
val messageTextViewPadding = messageTextView.paddingLeft + messageTextView.paddingRight
// First / Second last line of message
val lastLineStart = messageTextView.layout.getLineStart(lineCount - 1)
val lastLineEnd = messageTextView.layout.getLineEnd(lineCount - 1)
// Width of First / Second last line of message
var desiredWidth = Layout.getDesiredWidth(messageTextView.text.subSequence(lastLineStart,
lastLineEnd), messageTextView.paint).toInt()
var desiredHeight = measuredHeight
if (desiredWidth < minimumWidth && messageTextView.measuredWidth < minimumWidth) {
// Probably a small or single line message
desiredWidth = minimumWidth + messageTextViewPadding
} else {
// Probably a bit long or multiple line message
desiredWidth = messageTextView.measuredWidth + messageTextViewPadding
}
if(desiredHeight < minimumHeight) {
desiredHeight = minimumHeight
}
setMeasuredDimension(desiredWidth, desiredHeight)
}
}

Wrap_content doesn't work on RelativeLayout : Action bar custom View

I have created a custom layout for the Action Bar : which I add with this code on my Activity :
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View actionBarView = inflater.inflate (R.layout.main_actionbar, null);
getSupportActionBar ().setCustomView (actionBarView);
and the main_actionbar.xml layout :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:style="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:background="#color/white" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/leftIcons"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/empty"
android:paddingTop="4dp"
android:paddingBottom="4dp"
android:background="#drawable/uiclickable_gray_states"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/back"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/icon_back" />
<!-- The problem is here -->
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/back"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/bg"
android:scaleType="fitXY"

</RelativeLayout>
<View

android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/black_transparent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
My problem is that I would like the #+id/thumbnail to have it's height as match_parent and have it's width equals the height. means : height == match_parent AND width == height, so I can have a square Image.
it appears that this cannot be done by xml, so I created (with the help of some tutorials on the net) a subclass of ImageView and did this but without any positive results :
#Override
protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
//int width = measureWidth (widthMeasureSpec);
int height = measureHeight (heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension (height, height);
}
private int measureHeight (int measureSpecHeight) {
int result;
int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode (measureSpecHeight);
int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize (measureSpecHeight);
if (specMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY) {
// We were told how big to be
result = specSize;
} else if (specMode == MeasureSpec.AT_MOST) {
// The child can be as large as it wants up to the specified size.
result = specSize;
} else {
// Measure the text (beware: ascent is a negative number)
result = canvasSize;
}
return (result + 2);
}
Am I doing something wrong there ? Thank you.

This is dialog fragment layout.
I add content view (TextView or ListView) into FrameLayout (#id/base_dialog_content)
When ListView has many Items, Dialog is full height in window.
I want to set maximum height dialog or content view (or list view)
Edit:
I solve the problem using OnLayoutChangeListener.
But I need same function in lower version (below HoneyComb)
In DialogFragment.onCreateView()
FrameLayout contentContainer = (FrameLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.base_dialog_content);
final View contentView = createContentView(inflater, contentContainer);
contentContainer.addView(contentView);
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
// TODO Check content view height and change height
} else {
view.addOnLayoutChangeListener(new OnLayoutChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onLayoutChange(View v, int left, int top, int right,
int bottom, int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
int height = v.getHeight();
int contentHeight = contentView.getHeight();
int winHeight = ActivityUtil.getDisplayHeight(getSherlockActivity());
LogUtils.pe(height+" / "+winHeight+" / "+contentHeight);
int needHeight = height - winHeight*8/10;
if (needHeight > 0) {
contentView.setLayoutParams(
new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, contentHeight-needHeight));
}
}
});
}

to control the maximum height you have to put the content view in one layout container first (Linear/Relative) let's say in my example I'll use linearlayout
to measure the screen height (I put it in Util.java ):
public static int getDisplayHeight(Context context) {
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
int height = display.getHeight();
return height;
}
after that you create a container :
LinearLayout llContainerContent = new LinearLayout(context);
LayoutParams lpContainerContent = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, (Util.getDisplayHeight(context) * 8) /10);
llContainerContent.setLayoutParams(lpContainerContent);
after that you add the textview/listview to the container then you add the container to the framelayout. I hope my answer is clear enough for you but if you have another question please feel free to ask in the comment :)

Use this code for full screen height and width for the dialog
WindowManager window = (WindowManager)context
.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = window.getDefaultDisplay();
displayheight = display.getHeight();
displaywidth = display.getWidth();
dialog.getWindow().setLayout(displaywidth ,
displayheight );

what about using the onResume to get it done:
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
val width = (resources.displayMetrics.widthPixels * 0.95).toInt()
val height = (resources.displayMetrics.heightPixels * 0.60).toInt()
dialog?.window?.setLayout(width, height)
}
