GridView rows height are not same size

In my app I use a GridView but my values for each cells are not same size, when I put my values in GridView, it automatically set a size for all cells(I think it consider first cell height for all cells), can you tell me how can I fix that?
GridView Adapter:

You should try to use custom view your row Item in Gridview
public class SquareRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout {
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
if (widthMeasureSpec < heightMeasureSpec)
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
else
super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
In GridView row XML
<SquareRelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/descr_image"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
</SquareRelativeLayout>
Hope this helps you.

I suggest please use RecyclerView with StaggeredGridLayoutManager, Throw this you can get layout same which you draw upside,

Custom android square textview text is not centered

I am trying to create a textview that will always be squared so I have implemented this custom class.
public class SquareTextView extends TextView {
public SquareTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SquareTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public SquareTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int max = Math.max(getMeasuredWidth(), getMeasuredHeight());
setMeasuredDimension(max, max);
}
}
Here is an example layout that illustrates the problem:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="8dp"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:paddingTop="8dp">
<com.mypackage.SquareTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="right|top"
android:background="#000"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="4dp"
android:text="1"
android:textColor="#FFF"/>
</LinearLayout>
Here is an image of this
This works great in getting the view squared, however, it seems like the gravity gets messed up. With this, the text seems to always be in the top left corner. How can I have a TextView that will always be squared but still keep the gravity or at least be able to center the text?
EDIT: After some testing I have noticed that if you set the width or height to a specific dp size the gravity seems to be working again. So it probably has to do with the WRAP_CONTENT attribute. Will that be handled in another way in the onmeasure method that could cause my own method to not work as expected?

Hope you have already got the answer by now. If not, you can use this:
public class TextAlphaSquareTextView extends AppCompatTextView {
private int mTextAlpha = 0;
private boolean isSquare = false;
public TextAlphaSquareTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
init(null);
}
public TextAlphaSquareTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(attrs);
}
public TextAlphaSquareTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init(attrs);
}
private void init(AttributeSet attrs) {
if (attrs == null) {
} else {
TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.TextAlphaSquareTextView);
mTextAlpha = a.getInteger(R.styleable.TextAlphaSquareTextView_textAlpha, 100);
isSquare = a.getBoolean(R.styleable.TextAlphaSquareTextView_squareMode, false);
a.recycle();
if(mTextAlpha < 0 || mTextAlpha > 100)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Alpha range should be b/w 0 to 100 (in percentage)");
else {
setAlphaOnTextColor();
}
}
setText(getText());
}
void setAlphaOnTextColor() {
int alpha = ((255 * mTextAlpha) / 100);
setTextColor(getTextColors().withAlpha(alpha));
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
if (isSquare) {
int width = this.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = this.getMeasuredHeight();
int size = Math.max(width, height);
int widthSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(size, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
int heightSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(size, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
super.onMeasure(widthSpec, heightSpec);
}
}
}
you need to call super.onMeasure() again with EXACT spec and the calculated size, since setMeasureDimension() seems to be ignoring the gravity.

Custom Linear Layout Child not showing

i tried to create custom linear layout that have dynamic height and width = height. The custom layout is fine, but the child view not showing at my custom linear layout. i tried some way to fix it, but still cant solve it.
public class CustomLinearLayout extends LinearLayout {
public CustomLinearLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomLinearLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(height, height);
}
}
this is the xml that contain my custom linear layout. the child view not showing.
<com.example.admin.antriclient.CustomLinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:autofit="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#drawable/bg_nomor_antrian"
android:padding="10dp"
>
<me.grantland.widget.AutofitTextView
android:id="#+id/service_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Teller"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:singleLine="false"
autofit:minTextSize="12sp"
/>
<me.grantland.widget.AutofitTextView
android:id="#+id/nomor_antrian"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="T21"
android:textSize="50sp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:singleLine="true"
autofit:minTextSize="12sp"
/>
</com.example.admin.antriclient.CustomLinearLayout>
thanks in advance

My problem is because i didnt call the super.onMeasure() method. Thanks to Mike M.
my class should be like this
public class CustomLinearLayout extends LinearLayout {
public CustomLinearLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomLinearLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec,heightMeasureSpec);
//int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
//setMeasuredDimension(height, height);
}
}

For me I had to add a LayoutInflater for it to show
public class SidebarLayout extends LinearLayout {
private static final String TAG = "SidebarLayout";
public SidebarLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SidebarLayout(Context context, #Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
LayoutInflater.from(context).inflate(R.layout.sidebar, this);
}
public SidebarLayout(Context context, #Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
}
<com.example.a3danimationtester.SidebarLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_sidebar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="32dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/layout_topbar" />

create the RelativeLayout with the same height and width when using the weight property for width

I have a RelativeLayout with the weight property for width , and using the 130dp for height , but it seem's like a rectangle and now i want height equal to width (i want to achieve to square style) , like this image :
this is my xml :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="3dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="130dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#00c4ff"
android:onClick="blockClick">
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="130dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#00c4ff"
android:onClick="blockClick">
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Make your own implementation of RelativeLayout
Code sample for aspect ratio ImageView
Code example:
public class MyRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout{
[...]
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int newWidth = getMeasuredWidth();
int newHeight = newWidth;
setMeasuredDimension(newWidth, newHeight);
}
[...]
}

Use custom RelativeLayout...
public class SquareRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout {
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int width = getMeasuredWidth();
setMeasuredDimension(width, width);
}
}

Thinking about different screen of device, there is one solution:
Get the width of the screen. W
divide the W: W/2
Set every height of the RelativeLayout with W/2
I have used this solution to set the image View with fix ratio on different screen.
layout.width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
layout.height = (int) (layout.width / (2.0));
mRelativeView.setLayoutParams(layout);

How to auto layout_width / layout_height in android?

I want something like this
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="auto"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:orientation="vertical">
</LinearLayout>
The height of parent may be dynamic
If height of parent is 100dp, then the width will be 100dp
If height of parent is 200dp, then the width will be 200dp

I do not think that android has this by default. You can however create your own Linear layout that does this.
public class MyLinearLayout extends LinearLayout {
public MyLinearLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public MyLinearLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public MyLinearLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(height, height);
}
}
Please note that you might have problems if the width of the screen is not wide enough to display your layout at your desired height. In xml just set your width to match_parent as well.
