This is for a school project, but i didn't understand many parts of this.
I am leaving the handling of the rotation to the system, but after describing 2 layouts (standart and landscape mode)
But the landscape mode layout won't be taken into account when I rotate the screen.
(source: hostingpics.net)
(I have pressed the 4th button, in case it is the issue ...)
The mainactivity extends AppCompatActivity, (Because our teacher told us to), and all I do (for now) in the MainActivity is
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Log.d(TAG,"Test");
}
then I described 2 LinearLayouts, one in layout/activity_main.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="vertical"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:divider="#drawable/empty_divider_tall"
android:showDividers="middle"
android:background="#color/fl_concrete"
>
<fragment
class="com.example.g20901528.androidproject.fragment.TopFragment"
android:id="#+id/fragment_top"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
/>
<fragment
class="com.example.g20901528.androidproject.fragment.BottomFragment"
android:id="#+id/fragment_bottom"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
and another in layout-land/activity-main.xml which is almost the same :
edit : layout-land/activity_main.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"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:divider="#drawable/empty_divider_wide"
android:showDividers="middle"
android:background="#color/fl_concrete"
>
<fragment
class="com.example.g20901528.androidproject.fragment.TopFragment"
android:id="#+id/fragment_top"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
/>
<fragment
class="com.example.g20901528.androidproject.fragment.BottomFragment"
android:id="#+id/fragment_bottom"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
I did not change my manifest aside describing the MainActivity :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.g20901528.androidproject">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
My question is : how to make it so the two fragments rotate when i rotate the phone ?
I'm ready to provide any information.
Github Link of the project, if you really need it.
dude your layout xml name is different please change that
layout/activity_main.xml
layout-land/activity-main.xml make it -->
layout-land/activity_main.xml
and run

I have an android program with 2 layouts. The first layout is Login. When the login is started first, I have no problem. When I try to change in AndroidManifest from login to splash layout, I got an error. The error is like the title of this posts.
In this android manifest, I change my code from :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
>
<activity
android:name=".Login"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
to :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme"
>
<activity
android:name=".Splash"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
Here is the layout for login:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin" tools:context=".Login">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Your total is 0"
android:textSize="45dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/tvDisplay"
/>
<Button
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:text="Add One"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/bAdd"
android:textSize="20dp"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:text="Substract One"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/bSub"
android:textSize="20dp"/>
And here the layout of splash:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:background="#drawable/sertifikat"
tools:context=".Splash"></LinearLayout>
And structure of my code :
Log in logcat:
Here splash.java
How can I fix my code?
Hey You missed some small things
Here is a small example from your code
on Github that i wrote
This is running example of your code
Other than the ending tags
The <intent-filter>
should only be one
most probably the problem lies in your #drawable
as well as look at these tutorials they are great
http://www.androidhive.info/2013/07/how-to-implement-android-splash-screen-2/
Obviously，you have lost a character '/' in the splash layout at the end.
You are missing the closing tag of your LinearLayout in splash.xml. Add </LinearLayout> to the end of the file. You also might want to consider using an ImageView with android:scaleType="centerCrop" instead of using a LinearLayout with a background. Using android:background will stretch to fit the size of the screen, which can give a different aspect ratio on different devices, whereas an ImageView will scale it to maintain the aspect ratio (depending on the scaleType).
Also, a LinearLayout is not appropriate for a single image, since it is meant to be a container for other views.
For better performance I recommend you to follow this :
http://www.cutehacks.com/blog/2014/01/13/splash-screens
If you use an high end device you won't see a big difference, but for common devices you will see an huge improvement
My bare-bones test app sets the orientation to landscape on start up. It has a layout and layout-port directory. There is a simple layout file in each directory. They contain a textview with text set to either "Landscape" or "Portrait".
In my test I start the app on a tablet tipped into portrait. With this code, I would expect the layout from /layout/my_layout.xml to be used, but /layout-port/my_layout.xml is used instead. I've also tried making a /layout-land directory but still no luck.
From my main activity:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Start app with tablet in portrait orientation
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
int o = this.getRequestedOrientation();
// o is 0, indicating landscape. Display shifted to landscape
setContentView(R.layout.my_layout);
// layout-port/my_layout.xml is loaded. INCORRECT I think
}
/layout/my_layout.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:background="#ff000000">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvLabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Landscape"
android:textSize="50sp"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"/>
</LinearLayout>
/layout-port/my_layout.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:background="#ff000000">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvLabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Portrait"
android:textSize="50sp"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"/>
</LinearLayout>
AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.mytest"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<uses-sdk

android:targetSdkVersion="16" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Change /res/layout/my_layout.xml to /res/layout-land/my_layout.xml
Note: I added the suffix -land
Your have to remove option "orientation" in manifest:
android:configChanges="screenSize|orientation|keyboardHidden"
Because this option says you handle it by yourself...
Good explanation here:
Hi guys i have this splash screen with the layout main.xml which contains an imageview,
here is the main.xml file
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/slide11" />
</LinearLayout>
and here is my splashscreen.class file
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
try {
new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
public void run()
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),content_activity.class);
startActivity(intent);
Main.this.finish(); } }, 5000);
} catch(Exception e){}
}
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
super.onBackPressed();
} }
when i try to run this in my emulator all works fine, but when i try to run it in a device through debugging mode i don't get the image specified in the imageView, but i get a white screen for the specified amount of time.any help would be much appreciated.
//edit : i double checked the res/drawable folder and i tried primarily using png and also gave a go using .gif none worked in the device. (device micromax a110)
use this instead of your layout.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/slide11" >
looks like it was because of the size of the image, when reduced worked !!
Use image as layout background :-
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/slide11"
>
</LinearLayout>
This can be happening due to issue in the manifest file. Here is an example of my manifest file which has 3 activities and 1 splash screen. Hoping that this helps out.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.foodorder">
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/Theme.FoodOrder">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>
<activity android:name=".Final_activity" />
<activity android:name=".Second_activity" />
<activity
android:name=".SplashActivity"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Previously I've been looking at existing code to display a map in a tab, and this time I've tried to write it myself to see if I understood it.
It runs fine without errors (screenshot), but I don't completely understand why, and whether I'm doing this in the best way.
The part that I don't quite understand is in the manifest.
I would have thought that android:label should be maptabview_name, but that gives me an error saying no matching resource was found.
Why does it run when using app_name for that activity?
Why can't it find the maptabview_name resource?
Also, in MapTab2, is this the best way to start an intent?
What exactly is this telling the system? "I intend to start an activity from this class"?
Here's my code
(It's based on this):
MapTab2.java
package com.test.maptab2;
import android.app.TabActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TabHost;
public class MapTab2 extends TabActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Intent i = new Intent(this,MapTabView.class);
TabHost.TabSpec spec;
spec = getTabHost().newTabSpec("tab1");
spec.setContent(i);
spec.setIndicator("Map");
getTabHost().addTab(spec);
spec = getTabHost().newTabSpec("tab2");
spec.setContent(R.id.detailstub);
spec.setIndicator("Detail");
getTabHost().addTab(spec);
getTabHost().setCurrentTab(0);
}
}
MapTabView.java
package com.test.maptab2;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;
public class MapTabView extends MapActivity {
#Override
public void onCreate (Bundle icicle){
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.maptabview);
}
#Override
public boolean isRouteDisplayed(){
return false;
}

Q1: maptabview_name has to be in a string resource file, usually at res/values/string.xml, in case you have it there and still it's not in the resources generated file (gen/package/R.java), try removing it and let eclipse generate it again.
Q2: AFAIK, TabHost.TabSpec.setContent(Intent intent) it's like starting the Activity within the specified tab. I think that's the way do do it when you deal with tabs. Since Intents are used to do a lot of things, this is a basic usage, in this case just to specify the class.
Trying to get an Android 2.2 application to start up with a SurfaceView as the base view with a button placed atop it located near the bottom of the screen. So far, no luck. It crashes every time it attempts to launch. I've checked to make sure that the activity is registered in the manifest.
Here's my java code:
public class Dragable extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
and here's my main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SurfaceView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/surface_home"
>
<Button
android:id="#+id/add_new"
android:text="#string/add_new"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
</SurfaceView>
and my manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0">

<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

and here's my error:

Can't seem to find anything related doing searches on SO. My appologies if this has been asked before.
Now I see the problem. SurfaceView is not a container, I mean it does not extends ViewGroup, so you can't put a Button inside a SurfaceView. What you can do is wrapping the SurfaceView and the Button within a RelativeLayout.
You are not using any container to place components. Use this and make changes
