RecyclewView with nested gridView adjust height

I'm trying to create this view:
It´s Rerecyclew with a Gridview for each item.
So when you press the plus item I've to add a new item to the Gridview and adjust the RecyclewView item height.
But i can't make it with a wrap_content and i don´t know why.
Activity Layout
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/rv_scenes"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
</LinearLayout>
RecyclewView Item
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<GridView
android:id="#+id/gv_scene_items"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:numColumns="3"
android:gravity="center"
android:columnWidth="50dp" />
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#eaeaea" />
</LinearLayout>
GridView Item (just for example)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="55dp"
android:layout_height="55dp"
android:background="#color/liloColorBlue">
</LinearLayout>
Can you help me to get the example view?
Thank you.

You can do this very easily.
Change the recyclerView height in xml to:
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/rv_scenes"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="vertical" />
This will automatically adjust the layouts.
Hope this helps.

Call the notifyDataSetChanged() or notifyItemChanged(int position) methods of the RecyclerView.Adapter from the MAIN THREAD.
I hope this can help you

I found the solution creating my own gridview like this:
public class ScenesGridView extends GridView {
public ScenesGridView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ScenesGridView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public ScenesGridView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2,
MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
}
}

How to set width to ImageView in ListView for mutil screen

I have a ListView with an ImageView and TextView, I want to set the width of the image as 2/3 of the screen.
How do I create a custom ImageView to do this? This is what I've tried so far.
Custom View
public class CustomImageListView extends ImageView {
public CustomImageListView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomImageListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomImageListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
// Snap
// to
int width = MainActivity.width;
int height = MainActivity.height;
int w = width *2/5;
int h = w *4/6;
setMeasuredDimension(w, h);
// setMeasuredDimension(ChoseImage.width, ChoseImage.height); // Snap to
// //
// width
}
}
The custom View XML
<tuannt.tinmoi.custom.CustomImageListView
android:id="#+id/ivAvater"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/nomage" />

You can define a horizontal linear layout with WeightSum = 3 and inside it put another layout with with layout_weight = 1, the remaining portion will be of weight = 2, so you can put your imageView there. Refer below:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/fullscreen"
style="#style/translucent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="3">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#88000000"
android:id="#+id/sidebar"
android:layout_weight="1" >
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- other views, with a total layout_weight of 2 -->
</LinearLayout>

You don't need to create a Custom View to achieve this. You can make use of the layout_weight attribute.
This would be your layout for every item in the ListView.
item_in_listview.xml:
<?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="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
The layout_weight attribute is explained in this question.
In a nutshell, layout_weight specifies how much of the extra space in
the layout to be allocated to the View.

Android: Listview in ScrollView with dynamic height

currently I am developing a settings menu in a scrollview. The basic structure looks like the following:

</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
For the listview I used a custom implementation, to give it a fix height and make it able to scroll within the scrollview (note: I have to use the listview within the scrollview, because I have lots of elements, so that using a linearlayout wouldn't be nice).
public class CustomListView extends ListView {
public CustomListView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
// Calculate entire height by providing a very large height hint.
// But do not use the highest 2 bits of this integer; those are
// reserved for the MeasureSpec mode.
int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
}
}
Each item of the listview contains a label and a gridview, which is all shown correctly. But now I want to implement the functionality, that the user can click on the label to show and hide the visibility of the gridview.
But if I click on the label and the gridview is shown, the height of the listview doesn't adapt to the new open element. It always stays at the same height and if I open an element, the elements below are no longer visible. This also even happens, if I call the requestLayout() method of the listview to trigger its onMeasure again.
Anybody got an idea what I am doing wrong?
EDIT: Updated my xml file :)

Finally I was only able to solve this issue by replacing Listview with a LinearLayout and add my items in code to the Layout.

Combining layout_weight and maxHeight

I'm quite new to Android programming and I'm stuck on an simple problem.
I have a basic homepage with some buttons and a logo. I use a LinearLayout and the layout_weight attribute to distribute all the components.
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"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context="iut.project.findmeapp.MainActivity" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/activityMainAppLogoIv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/null_height"
android:contentDescription="#string/description_logo"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:maxHeight="#dimen/img_maxHeight"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/img_margin"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/activityMainMyEventsBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/null_height"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/button_margin_vertical"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/button_margin_vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/my_events" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/activityMainMyContactsBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/null_height"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/button_margin_vertical"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/button_margin_vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/my_contacts" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/activityMainLastNotifBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/null_height"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/button_margin_vertical"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/button_margin_vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/last_notification" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/activityMainCopyrightTv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/null_height"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/tw_margin"
android:text="#string/copyright" />
</LinearLayout>
(Note : #dimen/null_height is 0dp)
My problem is that I want the image to scale with the size of the screen, but I don't want it pixelated : I have set a maximum height of 200px.
The following lines don't seem to work, because the image has no limit and totally ignores the maxHeight attribute.
android:layout_weight="1"
android:maxHeight="#dimen/img_maxHeight"
Actually it looks like this (example image) :
It works perfectly, but when I set maxHeight to 10px for example, nothing changes.
How can I achieve this ? I highly prefer to use a LinearLayout.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks to Evripidis Drakos for pointing me in the right direction. Just need a check to only set the max height if it's actually required.
public class MaxHeightImageView extends ImageView {
public static final int MAX_HEIGHT_NOT_SET = -1;
public static final int INDEX_MAX_HEIGHT = 0;
private static final int[] STYLE_ATTRIBUTE_ARRAY = {
android.R.attr.maxHeight,
};
private int myMaxHeight;
public MaxHeightImageView(Context context) {
super(context);
init(context, null);
}
public MaxHeightImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context, attrs);
}
public MaxHeightImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init(context, attrs);
}
#RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public MaxHeightImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr,
int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
init(context, attrs);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int size = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
if(MAX_HEIGHT_NOT_SET != myMaxHeight && size > myMaxHeight) {
heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(myMaxHeight, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
}
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
private void init(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
if(context != null) {
TypedArray ta = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs,
STYLE_ATTRIBUTE_ARRAY);
myMaxHeight = ta.getDimensionPixelSize(INDEX_MAX_HEIGHT, 0);
} else {
myMaxHeight = MAX_HEIGHT_NOT_SET;
}
}
}

I dont think that you can combine layout_weight with maxHeight.
You could try subclassing ImageView to override the onMeasure method like so:
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
heightMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(200, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}

if u want to set exact height for your image u should use weightSum property with weight
edit:
for fixed height do not give weight for imageview just take parent layout for imageview then add weight for that linear layout(parent layout) and for imageview give height as wrap content and maxHeight. when u use weight with height="0dp" the content will capture the whole height so it will ignore maxHeight.
try 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"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:weightSum="5"
tools:context="iut.project.findmeapp.MainActivity">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/activityMainAppLogoIv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/quantity_hint"
android:maxHeight="200px"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/activityMainMyEventsBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="my_events" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/activityMainMyContactsBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="my_contacts" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/activityMainLastNotifBtn"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="last_notification" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/activityMainCopyrightTv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight=".5"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="copyright" />
</LinearLayout>

Basic issue with layout of imageView in ScrollView

I have a ScrollView that contain one imageView
I want this imageView matching the parent width, full width of the screen and then keep ratio aspect, so wrapping the height.
My options where :
- layout_widht : match_parent
- layout_height : wrap_content
- scaletype : centerCrop
Here is the code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/cellarWineImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/etiquette_unknown" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Here is the result
If I just put a fixe height 348dp the result is here
After fighting, I suspect that the wrap content, consider the original height of the image, doesn't matter if the size change due to match parent of the width. Please help for such basic topic. And I hope we can handle this without making any code...

Based on Akshat Agarwal great answer, we can use simple stuff by extending ImageView into a a new component : AspectRatioImageView, and then reusing it directly in the layout.
package com.yourpackage.widgets;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class AspectRatioImageView extends ImageView {
public AspectRatioImageView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public AspectRatioImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public AspectRatioImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
if (getDrawable() == null)
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
else {
int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int height = width * getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight() / getDrawable().getIntrinsicWidth();
setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
}
}
}
Now to use it in the XML:
<com.yourpackage.widgets.AspectRatioImageView android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/yourdrawable" android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent" android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
This works great on my project, by just changing curent ImageView, by this new packageName. Then everything worked perfectly.

Try putting on LinearLayout, ImageView and ScrollView your android:layout_height="fill_parent" to see if works.

Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/cellarWineImageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</LinearLayout>

change the layout like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:minHeight="348dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/cellarWineImageView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:minHeight="348dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
