Android Button in LinearLayout Fit Left

I want to put button like above picture. But I have below image. I can't success this. Search a lot of but can't find it.
LinearLayout in LinearLayout has transparent background and there is button left of this.
Activity.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="#drawable/genel_arkaplan"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="750dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="40dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/lay_transparan_aramasecenek"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/lay_transparan_aramasecenek_beyaz">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:background="#drawable/kod_ile_arama"
android:id="#+id/imageButton" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

remove android:paddingLeft="40dp from LinearLayout Tag

Just remove below code from your "LinearLayout"
android:paddingLeft="40dp"
This is adding extra padding to your parent layout.
Below will be your final 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"
android:background="#drawable/genel_arkaplan"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="750dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/lay_transparan_aramasecenek"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/lay_transparan_aramasecenek_beyaz">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:background="#drawable/kod_ile_arama"
android:id="#+id/imageButton" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Try this code for batter result for your Button Icon. I Hope it is helpful for You.

Center ProgressBar and Image in XML android layout

I have a loading screen for my android app.
It's working ok if I only use background image or ProgressBar, but when I try to center both elements in the middle of the screen I get that:
So far my activityy_main.xml looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:id="#+id/mainLayout"
tools:context="com.siconet.axa.MainActivity" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/loadingPanel"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/axa_logo" />
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="250px"
android:layout_height="250px"
android:indeterminate="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
What I want to achieve is something like this:

Try this layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:id="#+id/mainLayout"
tools:context="com.siconet.axa.MainActivity" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/loadingPanel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="250px"
android:layout_height="250px"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:indeterminate="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>
Hope this helps you.

Try adding to your progressBar this line android:layout_centerInParent="true"

Try using centerInParent instead. Something like...
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/loadingPanel"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" > // right here
But I think a better approach would be to just use a LinearLayout.Try the below layout...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout 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:id="#+id/mainLayout" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/loadingPanel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent ="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/play"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="250px"
android:layout_height="250px"
android:background="#drawable/pause"
android:indeterminate="true" />
</LinearLayout >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:visibility="gone"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Take note of the different changes but this layout gives me the following ...
I don't see your ImageView in the second image so I centered them both. If you can explain where that should be then I can adjust this layout for that.

Try use Frame Layout instead of RelativeLayout in "loadingPanel"

Unable to align ImageView to bottom of RelativeLayout

I've read several tutorials on how to do this, but for whatever reason, my image won't budge from the center of the screen. The ninjas image is 1080x517px
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:weightSum="1"
android:background="#color/white">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ninjas"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="#drawable/ninjas"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
From what I can tell, this is correct. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

You make the image fill the parent currently. Change
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
to
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

try this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ninjas"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try changing
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ninjas"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="#drawable/ninjas"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
to
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ninjas"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ninjas"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
At present your ImageView is occupying all the space in its parent. After changing layout_width and layout_height to wrap_content it will only occupy as much space as size of #drawable/ninjas

// Try this way,hope this will help you to solve your problem...
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
android:gravity="bottom|right"
android:padding="5dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/ninjas"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ninjas"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"/>
</LinearLayout

The relative layout leaving spaces where it should not?

Hi I am using a relative layout to align the image at the bottom but the image is giving away some margin at the top and at the bottom. My code is as below
<?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:background="#drawable/back" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Can someone help me out with this. Thank you
I tried using Fllo answer and i am attaching the screenshot
I am uploading the png

I think it's because you use android:layout_alignParentTop="true" at the same time. You don't need a parent LinearLayout but you need to set your RelativeLayout height to match_parent. Try as follows:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:scaleType="FIT_XY" />
</RelativeLayout>
As Rat-a-tat-a-tat Ratatouille suggested, I think it's the right way to avoid deformation with your image. The attribute scaleType according to the Reference is to:
Scale in X and Y independently, so that src matches dst exactly. This may change the aspect ratio of the src
It's not a bad idea.

try changing this:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
to
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

Replace your code for Image View from:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
To:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
android:adjustViewBounds="true" is the solution of your problem.
Hope it will help you..

Try to change:
<?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:background="#drawable/back" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:src="#drawable/compare1footer"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
to this:
<?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" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" >
</ImageView>
</RelativeLayout>

How to prevent other View being pushed out of the screen

this is the example XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="5dip" android:background="#FF992222">
<ScrollView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="TextView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="24dip"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="5dip" android:background="#FF555555">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="TextView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="24dip"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The result is like this :
If you notice, the text in upper LinerLayout are wrapped in LinearLayout and ScrollView.
If the upper content keep added, it will look like this
Bottom Linearlayout will be pushed out of the screen before the ScrollView become active and make the first content become scrollable.... And I don't want that to be happened...
What should I do to make the Scrollview before the bottom View being pushed out of the screen like this :
(this is edited image and not created by Android Layout editor)
Hope the question clear enough.. Thanks :)

It took me an insane amount of time to figure this out, there is no info on the net, but I finally got it. Enjoy!
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainlayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LL"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="1" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/TV1"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:fillViewport="true" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/TV2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center" />
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"

android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:text="TextView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="24dip"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Try this. The key is using layout_weight within the linear layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ScrollView android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
....
</ScrollView>
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:text="TextView"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="24dip"/>
</LinearLayout>

Well, if I understand you question clearly, you want the TextView in grey to remain stationary, while the textViews in red can be scrolled around, correct me if I'm wrong here. If thats what you want, then you can use RelativeLayout to achieve that. Following is the code to produce an output like:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836/device20111011012652.png/
The ListView entries are scrollable while the button(in your case it should be a TextView) stays where it is.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/newtask" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
</ListView>
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/newtask"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add New Task" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">
</Button>
</RelativeLayout>
Just change the bottom button to a TextView and it would match what you wanted.
