Vertically stacking a dynamic height ImageView with a RelativeLayout - android

I'm trying to vertically stack a dynamic height ImageView (image will get downloaded and displayed, therefore don't know the height) with a RelativeLayout, and I need an outcome like in the right side figure of the following Image where blue rectangle represents the ImageView and red represent other RelativeLayout.
So far I've tried below, and it gives me the output of left side figure (layouts overlaps).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="2dp"
card_view:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
card_view:overlay="#drawable/default_selector">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- ImageView represented by Blue rectangle -->
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/thumb_image_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<!-- RelativeLayout represented by Red rectangle -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/thumb_bottom_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/default_height"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/thumb_text_resolution"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/default_gap"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/default_gap"
android:textColor="#color/Thumb.Text"
android:textSize="14sp" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/thumb_button_heart"
android:layout_width="#dimen/default_press_size"
android:layout_height="#dimen/default_press_size"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="?heartBackground"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:src="#drawable/ic_action_heart_empty" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
What should I change in order to make it look like right side figure?

Got it fixed by removing android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
and adding android:layout_below="#+id/thumb_image_view" instead.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/thumb_bottom_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/default_height"
android:layout_below="#+id/thumb_image_view"
android:animateLayoutChanges="true"
android:gravity="center_vertical">

ImageView with spacing even with `wrap_content`

Can someone help me? My ImageView gets huge spacing for no apparent reason. Xml:

</FrameLayout>
Stays like this:
If I set the android: layout_height = "" with a low value, type 200dp, the spacing goes away, but in this case, on smaller devices, the view will be out of date. Already tried:
Placing the image as the background of a LinearLayout but the spacing was both above and below.
Placing the ImageView inside the LinearLayout however has done the same thing as above.
Does anyone know how to solve it?
If I put it outside the ScrollView, ImageView is centered in the middle of the screen
Add this to your imageview:
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
The scale type property will tell how the image should fit within the available space. Center crop will make it fill the whole space, but as a trade off the image will seem zoomed. There are other scale types you can try here.
It looks like your list_cli2 drawable already has the white space. Check it by open it with the image editor and see if the white space is there.

how to align view to left and right properly in android layout with gravity or layout gravity

I am using the following layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:src="#drawable/ic_find_next_holo_dark" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I want left arrow to the left & right arrow to the right & center layout to fill the center gap without giving exact width in dp, px etc but i m not able to achieve this layout. i need this type of layout most of the time
In your case you need to give android:layout_weight=1 to your ViewFlipper So that it can take rest of the space left by your other 2 image views (Will push both views to the sides since ViewFlipper is the middle view). A better explanation is given here https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/linear.html check the Layout Weight section.

Unwanted paddings or margin in ImageView

I am brand new to android to android development and just playing around with xmls for building layouts. I wrote the following code stuffs for printing a hello ubuntu and inserting an image in it. But the Image seems to have a unwanted upper and bottom padding or margin (not sure what it's called) which looks wierd. Please anyone help me removing it. Here is my code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:text="Hello Ubuntu (16.06LTS)"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="0dp"
android:src="#mipmap/Ubuntu"
android:layout_margin="0dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
Screenshot here(see the preiew on right side):
those extra padding is autogenerated since the android would try to get the original aspect ratio. please try below
scaletype = "fitCenter"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
You should use android:scaleType (see documentation).
This will allow you to tell the view how to react if the image does not have the exact size of the view.
You can try
android:adjustViewBounds="true",
it works for me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:text="Hello Ubuntu (16.06LTS)"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/asd"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
There is a margin above the imageview but it is not the part of imageview. It is actually because of margin applied to the textview above the imageview. You can do the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#00ffff"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:text="Hello Ubuntu (16.06LTS)"
android:background="#000000"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="371dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="0dp"
android:background="#ff0000"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
/>
EDIT -
In your above code, you have applied Margin to all the sides of the view. (android:layout_margin="8dp")
This gives the margin to the view from all the 4 sides including the bottom one, which appears as the imageview's top margin.
Hence, what you need to do is to apply margin to the view side by side by changing
android:layout_margin="8dp"
to
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
android:layout_marginUpper="8dp"
EDIT 2 -
Make sure you have 0 padding and 0 margin in the parent (root) container.

LinearLayout above ImageView not getting displayin Fragment?

I have ImageView which needs to be shown in full height available. However at top i have created LinearLayout which contains Text and Image. I want it to display at top but also want to image to fit screen. I have linear layout at bottom and its working fine.
This is my code for LinearLayout which i want to show at top. I have hidden actionbar
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/actionbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:gravity="top"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:visibility="visible" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/backbutton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/back_button" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/titleofscreen"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Testing"
android:textColor="#22c064"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageShown"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</FrameLayout>
If i dont set imageView scale type to android:scaleType="fitXY" then it works but image doesnt fit screen.
I want to display image to fit between above bar which contains Text and below it has some icons. But if i make image scaletype ='fitXY' it doesnt display above text. Following is screenshot but i want image to occupy space
If you want the image to be below the actionbar you should not use the FrameLayout as a parent. You either should use vertical LinearLayout with weight or `RelativeLayout". Try following code:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/actionbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:gravity="top"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:visibility="visible" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/backbutton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/back_button" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/titleofscreen"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="Testing"
android:textColor="#22c064"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageShown"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/actionbar"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Also I doubt that you use fitXY as android:scaleType, because it doesn't maintain the aspect ratio of the image - so your image will be deformed (stretched). In your case you should rather use fitCenter, but it depends on how exactly you want to scale your image - you can also play with centerInside or centerCrop.

ImageViews aren't aligned vertically when using padding

Im trying to get two ImageViews side by side with a gap around the image. Ive been using Padding, Margin etc and all have had the same effect (See Image Below)
as you can see the image on the right is shifted upwards, how do i stop this?
Here's the layout file im using:
<?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:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- Top Row -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines"
android:layout_margin="5sp"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines"
/>
</LinearLayout>
I am going to be using more rows of images hence the extra LinearLayout
Use layout_weight to divide your layout equally. Try the following code:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<!-- Top Row -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Also, never use sp for specifying layout dimensions. Use dp instead.
You have given layout_margin for left side image and didn't give for the right side image.That's where the issue lies. If you want only two images in a row and if the image size is same for the both then you can make use of layout_weight attribute and give padding for space in between them.
so,try this. It will work.
<!-- Top Row -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines"
android:padding="3dp"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines"
android:padding="3dp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
To fix Vertical alignment :
Use android:layout_height="match_parent" in your ImageView
by using android:layout_height="match_parent" inside ImageView it will be matched to its parent your LinearLayout which is android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Now Question arises why the height will be same for both ImageViews ?
Reason your parent LinearLayout's Height will be automatically chosen from ImageView Whose height is greater because of android:layout_height="wrap_content" in your LinearLayout !
and by using android:layout_height="match_parent" you will be using same height for ImageView whose height is smaller !
To Fix Horizontal alignment :
use android:layout_weight="equal weight value for btoh"
change your code to
<ImageView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines"
android:layout_margin="5sp"
/>
<ImageView
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:contentDescription="#string/tab_headlines"
android:src="#drawable/headlines"
/>
