I would like to have a nested fragment which should take the rest of the space. The problem is that it even doesn't show because the height is 1 px. If I set the height to 300 dp for example everything looks ok. Here is my code. Maybe the layout cannot calculate what is the height of the other two layouts.:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/white_with_divider_bg"
android:id="#+id/firstL">
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/secondL"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp">
</RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/child_fragment"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
It should look like this:
When working with weights all children of the LiniearLayout should have a weight, but that wouldnt help you. You should have android:id="#+id/child_fragment" have height="match_parent" and remove the weight.
That should work.

I'm struggling on a layout management so I decided to ask here.
I would like to get 3 layouts working in a certain way.
I have 3 views vertically dispatched into a RelativeLayout (let's call them VTop, VMiddle and VBottom).
VBottom is a Button, I want him to stay aligned with the bottom of the screen and to never move or get resized (actually working).
VMiddle is a scroll view. I want this ScrollView to take all possible place between the bottom button (VBottom) and the top most layout (VTop) but never having it height inferior to an specific size.
I would like to have VTop (A linear layout containing some TextViews and other stuffs) wrapping all of its content as long as VMiddle doesn't get smaller that its minimum size.
Actually the code I have is almost working but when I Inflate too much content into VMiddle, it keeps growing towards the top of the screen and VTop completely disappear. I want VMiddle to stay at it minimum size if VTop doesn't have enough space to wrap his content.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1" <!-- VTop -->
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_RateLayout"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_margin="10sp"> <!-- LOT OF VIEWS, NEED TO BE WRAPPED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE -->
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_RateLayout" <!-- Not visible for now, you can ignore it -->
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px"
android:background="#color/common_google_signin_btn_text_light_default"
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView"
android:visibility="gone" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView" <!-- VMiddle -->
android:background="#4D4A58"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentLayout" />
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:text="commenter"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton" <!-- VMiddle, this one is doing ok -->
android:background="#666"
android:textColor="#f8f8f8"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Thanks for your answers.
Try the following code for the ScrollView -
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView" <!-- VMiddle -->
android:background="#4D4A58"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_below="#id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_above="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton">
...
</ScrollView>
Use this, however the kind of UI you want can be easily achieved using Linear layout and using weight and weightSum properties.. also rename ID of the layout and views accordingly
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/topLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#70AD47"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/btnBottom"
android:layout_below="#+id/topLayout"
android:background="#ED7D31"
android:minHeight="400dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnBottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#4472C4"
android:text="Bottom button" />
</RelativeLayout>
1. Add attribute android:layout_below="#id/linearLayout1" and android:layout_above="#id/eventDetail_commentButton" to ScrollView to keep it at middle position.
2. Use ScrollView and its child LinearLayout height android:layout_width="match_parent" although its not necessary.
No matter how big the top and bottom layout, middle scrollview will always fill the middle free spaces. It will never change the height of top and bottom layout.
Here is the working layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_margin="10sp">
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:text="commenter"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_commentButton"
android:background="#666"
android:textColor="#f8f8f8"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30sp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentScrollView"
android:background="#4D4A58"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_above="#id/eventDetail_commentButton">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/eventDetail_CommentLayout" />
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
Hope this will help~
Use android:layout_below="#+id/linearlayout1"
in eventDetail_RateLayout
I'm pretty sure none of the given answers achieve what you're looking for. What you wanna do is not simple because it involves a circular dependency: you basically want your vTop view to wrap and fill any space left by your vMiddle view (android:layout_above="#id/vMiddle") and at the same time you want your vMiddle view to wrap and fill any space left by your vTop view (android:layout_below="#id/vTop").
The only solution I can imagine would be to check and set the view sizes programmatically, I don't think this is doable only by rearranging your layout.
I finally achieved to get something close to what I wanted. I combined layout_above and below and fixed the size of VTop by making the Huge TextView scrollable. I have now VTop and VBottom at a fixed size and VMiddle taking the rest of the place at the center.
Thanks for your fast answers :)
I have a layout in a scrollview and I add another layout to the end of the first one. Actually I am trying to make a one page design and the rest of the other views will appear after scrolling. I tried to put linearlayout1 and linearlayout2 to another view but it didn't work. Also I set scrollview android:fillViewport="true" but it made the scrollview in screen size.
I've added an image of what I want, but it could also be one view, I mean lin1 and lin2 together.
I can set width and height for one phone but I want to do this for each screen. For example like yahoo weather app. They have done one layout for first view and start another view from the end of screen. I tried so many things but I couldn't imagine how to put layouts. Could you help me?
Thanks for your help
Here is what I want
Here is I tried:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scroller"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearlayout1"
android:background="#android:color/holo_purple"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="350dp" >
<TextView
android:text="LinearLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearlayout2"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_bright"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="250dp"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:text="LinearLayout2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:background="#android:color/holo_green_light"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="350dp">
<TextView
android:text="LnearLayout3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
But unfortunately I couldn't configure this for each screen size.
enter image description here
Just try this.
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/action_bar"
Instead of hardcoding the height as in:
android:layout_height="250dp"
Set android:layout_height="0dp" and use
android:layout_weight="25"
And also in the other layout use weight. Weight works like this, if you have 3 components in your container, set the weights to let's say 1, 2 and 3 => they will take in that order 1/6, 2/6 and 3/6 of the container. 6 being the sum of 1,2,3. So here instead of using heights as 350 and 250, you can set them to 0 and use weights 2.5 and 3.5 or 25 and 35.
I have a screen that contains some TextViews and an ImageView inside a LinearLayout with vertical orientation. I would like the whole thing to fit exactly in the screen (no matter what its size is) where the ImageView is the one that adjusts itself to accommodate this.
I've seen here a few variations of this question (including this) but didn't find anything that really answers my requirement.
So far i've used a solution which is not very "pretty", which is putting the entire LinearLayout inside a ScrollView, and use a custom ImageView that on its onMeasure method calculates the delta between the height of the ScrollView to the height of the screen. If the former is larger than the latter then the delta is subtracted from the ImageView's measured height.
This solution is not perfect and i would really like to know if there is a better one. Im sure there is.
Appreciate your help.
EDIT: here is the layout xml

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/login_username"/>
(...Other stuff...)
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</com.xxx.widgets.LockableScrollView>
EDIT2: and here's a sketch that i hope will make things clearer.
The sketch is showing 2 different screen sizes cause this solution would need to support also different devices with different screen sizes.
On the ImageView, set android:layout_height="0dp" and android:layout_weight="1". This will cause it to fill the remaining space (more about layout_weight here).
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
I'm quite new in Android, so it'll probably be a stupid question, but here it goes.
I have a RelativeLayout of Activity. In this layout I have another Layout at bottom of a screen. Sometimes I hide it or make it visible, this matters not. Is it possible to make the another layout's height lets say 27% of total screen height? The idea is to keep the other content, except this layout on screen.
Have anyone tried something like this?
LinearLayout can handle this via android:layout_weight. For example, here is a layout containing three Button widgets, taking up 50%, 30%, and 20% of the height, respectively:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="50"
android:text="#string/fifty_percent"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="30"
android:text="#string/thirty_percent"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="20"
android:text="#string/twenty_percent"/>
</LinearLayout>
However, you cannot simply declare that an arbitrary widget at an arbitrary point in your layout file should take up an arbitrary percentage of the screen size. You are welcome to perform that calculation in Java and adjust your widget's LayoutParams as necessary, though.
you can try this, is more complexe but useful.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/parent_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/app_name" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/parent_of_bottom_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/content_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="27">
//Add your content here
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I have an Android application that goes about like this:
<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">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/toplayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.90" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_1_of_10"
android:layout_width="70dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="#string/text_0x1701" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_2_of_10"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/button_1_of_10"
android:layout_below="#+id/button_1_of_10"/>
<!--Another 8 buttons-->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/contentpane"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/button_1_of_10" >
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/actionbuttonslayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.10">
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I need the 10 buttons to fill up the entire height from the top to the footer (the 0.1 weighted RelativeLayout), while all the buttons keep an equal height. However, I want to know whether there is a kind of equivalent to the layout_weight from LinearLayout, but for RelativeLayouts, as it's not performant to have nested weights in LinearLayouts. I'm not really looking for other solutions, because I still have some thing to try, but I want to know whether or not this is possible?
My question, just to be clear, is: Is it possible to have an amount of Buttons with an equal height in a RelativeLayout and at the same time fill up all the available space?
To use weight you need to use a LinearLayout, just make a linear layout with the buttons take the space you want and then on each button inside have android:layout_height="0dp" and also a android:layout_weight="1"
You don't need to sum all the weights to 1, just think of items with the same weight have the same size
