Scrollview hiding the textview text in landscape mode

I am trying to use the scrollview to make the textview wrapped within it scrollable.
I am using the grid layout and am able to position the items as I need to, particularly the long text block, wrapped in a scroll view (the text under the big heading).
However, upon rotating , the long text block disappears completely and I have to keep scrolling it up to make it visible. I need it to be visible as expected when in landscape mode.
landscape mode, now visible after swiping up
This is my XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Thank you

You're going to have to make your whole layout scrollable or come up with a different design. To make the whole layout scrollable, put the RelativeLayout inside the ScrollView and set the layout_height for the ScrollView to be wrap_content.

If your business rules don't allow for the entire layout to be scrollable, what you can do is put your ScrollView as the first layout in the XML and adjust your other views layout_above and layout_below to that initial one (basically making that the view that is always shown and everything else adjust around it).

1. Add RelativeLayout as a direct child of ScrollView and put TextView inside it.
2. Use attributge android:fillViewport="true" to ScrollView.
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

android:layout_height="match_parent">
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" android:id="#+id/toolbar"/>
<ImageView

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:id="#+id/articlesummaryimageview"
android:layout_below="#id/toolbar"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

android:layout_below="#id/articlesummaryheadingtextview"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:layout_above="#+id/showfullarticlebutton">

How to align imageview, and two text at center of screen android?

Hi I have parent layout as LinearLayout and I need to place an imageview at center and after that two textview one after another at center of screen. At bottom of the screen is an icon.
I placed everything but imageview and two textview are not aligning at center of screen. Here is layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I really couldn't figure out what mistake I am doing in this design. ImageView, and two text are placing at top of screen and not in center of screen.

I have changed some dimensions and images, correct those and you are good to go.

The problem is that you are using linear layout so it is aligning the layouts one after another.So you need to use relative layout and it will work

Try this code
<?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"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:background="#drawable/bg"
android:orientation="vertical">
//this image and two textview, i need to place at center of screen
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/seat_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/on_logo"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/dp_size20"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/seat_number"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test1"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:gravity="center"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/another_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/dp_size10"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/dp_size10"
android:text="TEst 2"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="16dp"
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="#dimen/dp_size10">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="1"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/on_boarding_circle_arrow"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/circle_arrow" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

The RelativeLayout at the bottom is the problem. And add android:gravity="center" to your parent LinearLayout

Just add android:gravity="center" in your root LinearLayout and remove last RelativeLayout and see

cut the 'layout_gravity' and 'gravity' parameters from child LinearLayout and paste this to Parent LinearLayout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/seat_icon"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

RelativeLayout limits after adding ScrollView

I am adding a ScrollView as parent of a RelativeLayout, but when I do so my RelativeLayout limits to a little area and I can't change it.
When I change the padding I can fix the things in their place, but it is not a good way.
Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relatOne"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingBottom="20dp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:paddingRight="20dp"
android:paddingTop="20dp">
<!--textArea Title-->
<EditText
android:id="#+id/textArea"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/textView"
android:hint="Write your message here!"
android:linksClickable="true"
android:maxLines="6"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:textColorHint="#8e8e8e" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#id/textArea"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:text="Text:"

android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"

</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>

You should make ScrollView as parent Root element not as Child in your case Change your Layout like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView android:layout_width="match_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fillViewport="true">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center">
<!--textArea Title-->
<EditText
android:id="#+id/textArea"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:hint="Write your message here!"
android:linksClickable="true"
android:maxLines="6"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:textColorHint="#8e8e8e" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#id/textArea"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:text="Text:"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:background="#000"
android:onClick="btnSetter"
android:text="Set on Channel"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#ffffffff"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Change Your Linear Layout gravity and margin according to your need

I've tried using,
android:fillViewport="true"
but of no help.

A ScrollView is a FrameLayout, meaning you should place one child in it containing the entire contents to scroll; this child may itself be a layout manager with a complex hierarchy of objects.
So here you have to take LinearLayout or RelativeLayout and then you have to put different hierarchy of component.
Android : buttons not visible in scrollview
here i have given answer of Some problem so you can follow this for solve your problem with clearing your concept.

Try like this ,Scrolling will work till End
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">

android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:layout_height="386dp"

</ScrollView>
</Relativelayout>

If ScrollView fits to your device screen it would not be scrollable, so make sure content inside ScrollView takes space larger than your screen size.

systematix Try this,here you getting scroll.

Text overlay over imageview in android

I am trying to have textviews overlay over imageviews. Something like this
Can someone help me with the code.

Wrap a TextView and ImageView into FrameLayout, put the TextView in FrameLayout after ImageView. Then, wrap the FrameLayout into RelativeLayout OR LinearLayout. Make some position setup (as per the needs).
<RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout>
<ImageView />
<TextView />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

You can create a frame layout and within the frame layout keep an imageview and a linearlayout(with a translucent background and a textview).
The translucent color can be placed in the colors file as : #80000000
Here is a snippet :)
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:foregroundGravity="bottom"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ivFullScreenAd"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:src="#drawable/home_page_ad" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#color/translucent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/detailTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:paddingLeft="10dip"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:text="Please swipe up"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textIsSelectable="true"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

I had the same problem and solved it using a custom gridView. You must apply this in getView.
Custom gridView XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout_practitioner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/item_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:contentDescription="#string/contentDescriptionContent"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#CC515116"
android:visibility="gone"
android:gravity="center" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="#string/text_enter_pass_password"
android:paddingBottom="7dp"
android:textSize="20sp"
/>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_practitioner_pin"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/edittext_shape"
android:ems="6"
android:gravity="center"
android:inputType="numberPassword"
android:maxLength="4"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:visibility="visible"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/pract_button"
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:background="#drawable/buton_shape"
android:layout_marginBottom="35dp"
android:text="#string/btn_ok"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#bbffffff"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false" >
<TextView android:id="#+id/item_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:textColor="#color/text_black"
android:gravity="bottom|center"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:paddingBottom="0dp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_pratiotioner_group_name"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textColor="#color/sub_title_color"
android:visibility="visible"
android:gravity="bottom|center"
android:textAllCaps="true"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>

Though an old question but should incase anyone is interested in the card view version of this question here you go...
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
app:cardElevation="5dp"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
android:clickable="true">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_centerInParent="true">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="16dp"
android:background="#89969F">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_overlay"
android:layout_width="196dp"
android:layout_height="196dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:src="#drawable/your_image"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:background="#80000000"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="Settings"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentTop="false"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:padding="8dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

Please modify the layout accordingly, If you want to accommodate the images on an imageview only, then you can drop the below layout in a relative one including an imageview too.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/your_image"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/bottom_textview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
<!-- layout_gravity="supply accordingly" -->
android:gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>
