I have a question with the android programming.
I have a parent scrollview for whole activity, and there are three textviews with scrolling function. However, when I used the following code it seems to be not working at all. Only the parent scrolling is available.
final View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_register_terms_fragment, container, false);
TextView basicTermView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.register_terms_basic_info);
TextView purposeTermView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.register_terms_purpose_info);
TextView provideTermView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.register_terms_provide_info);
TextView previous = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.register_terms_pre);
TextView next = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.register_terms_next);
basicTermView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
purposeTermView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
provideTermView.setMovementMethod(new ScrollingMovementMethod());
How should I change the codes?
Thank you for helping me!
You can't have a scrollable View, like TextView or ListView or RecyclerView, inside a ScrollView. So use your simple TextView inside a normal layout and add android:scrollbars property to it or you can use view's customised class which will calculate view's width/height programatically and use ScrollView as it's parent.
As an example, to use Listview inside scrollview, we need to use following customised class of Listview which will calculate list items height and set it.
public class ExpandedListView extends ListView {
private ViewGroup.LayoutParams params;
private int old_count = 0;
public ExpandedListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ExpandedListView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public ExpandedListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int heightMeasureSpec_custom = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec_custom);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
if (getCount() != old_count) {
this.setScrollContainer(false);
old_count = getCount();
params = getLayoutParams();
params.height = getCount()
* (old_count > 0 ? getChildAt(0).getHeight() : 0);
setLayoutParams(params);
}
super.onDraw(canvas);
}
}

I would like to create a custom RelativeLayout that has two views in one row: one on the left side of the screen (android:layout_alignParentStart="true") and one on the right (android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"). The view on the right will grow toward the left view until it takes up all the space between the two views. Then it will move to a new line under the view on the left.
I have implemented a slightly modified version of Romain Guy's FlowLayout that extends RelativeLayout. However, this class seems to ignore the RelativeLayout's align properties and just sticks the views right next to each other. Is there a way to implement a such a layout that will anchor the views to the left and right?
FlowLayout class:
public class FlowLayout extends RelativeLayout {
private int mHorizontalSpacing;
private int mVerticalSpacing;
public FlowLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public FlowLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
TypedArray attributes = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.FlowLayout);
mHorizontalSpacing = attributes.getDimensionPixelSize(R.styleable
.FlowLayout_horizontalSpacing, 0);
mVerticalSpacing = attributes.getDimensionPixelSize(R.styleable
.FlowLayout_verticalSpacing, 0);
attributes.recycle();
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int widthSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int width = 0;
int height = getPaddingTop();
int currentWidth = getPaddingStart();
int currentHeight = 0;
final int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
measureChild(child, widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
if (currentWidth + child.getMeasuredWidth() > widthSize) {
height += currentHeight + mVerticalSpacing;
currentHeight = 0;
width = Math.max(width, currentWidth);
currentWidth = getPaddingEnd();
}
int spacing = mHorizontalSpacing;
if (lp.spacing > -1) {
spacing = lp.spacing;
}
lp.x = currentWidth + spacing;
lp.y = currentHeight;
currentWidth += child.getMeasuredWidth();
currentHeight = Math.max(currentHeight, child.getMeasuredHeight());
}
width += getPaddingEnd();
height += getPaddingBottom();
setMeasuredDimension(resolveSize(width, widthMeasureSpec), resolveSize(height,
heightMeasureSpec));
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
final int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
child.layout(lp.x, lp.y, lp.x + child.getMeasuredWidth(), lp.y + child
.getMeasuredHeight());
}
}
#Override
protected boolean checkLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams p) {
return p instanceof LayoutParams;
}
#Override
protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateDefaultLayoutParams() {
return new LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout
.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
}
#Override
protected ViewGroup.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams p) {
return new LayoutParams(p.width, p.height);
}
#Override
public RelativeLayout.LayoutParams generateLayoutParams(AttributeSet attrs) {
return new LayoutParams(getContext(), attrs);
}
public static class LayoutParams extends RelativeLayout.LayoutParams {
public int spacing;
public int x;
public int y;
public LayoutParams(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
TypedArray attributes = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable
.FlowLayout_LayoutParams);
spacing = attributes.getDimensionPixelSize(R.styleable
.FlowLayout_LayoutParams_layoutSpacing, -1);
attributes.recycle();
}
public LayoutParams(int width, int height) {
super(width, height);
}
}
}
It turns out that rather than calculating the right view's new position yourself, you can change its LayoutParams and have the OS handle positioning for you. I created a custom layout that extends RelativeLayout and overrides the onMeasure() method. This will adjust the LayoutParams accordingly.
More specifically:
Call the super method then find the widths of the two views and their parent in onMeasure(). Use these to figure out if the right view will overlap the left view. If so, change the right view's layout_alignParentEnd="true" property to be layout_alignParentStart="true" and give it the layout_below="#id/left_view" property. Do the opposite when there will be no overlap. Call the super method again to have the OS remeasure the views for you.
The layout class:
public class WrappingLayout extends RelativeLayout {
private TextView leftView;
private EditText rightView;
//Use this to prevent unnecessarily adjusting the LayoutParams
//when the right view is already in the correct position
private boolean isMultiline = false;
public WrappingLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.wrapping_layout, this);
leftView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.left_view);
rightView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.right_view);
}
public WrappingLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.wrapping_layout, this);
leftView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.left_view);
rightView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.right_view);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
//Call first to make sure the views' initial widths have been set
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int screenWidth = getMeasuredWidth();
int leftViewWidth = getPaddingStart() + leftView.getMeasuredWidth() + leftView.getPaddingEnd();
int rightViewWidth = getPaddingEnd() + rightView.getMeasuredWidth() + rightView.getPaddingStart();
LayoutParams rightViewParams = (LayoutParams) rightView.getLayoutParams();
if (!isMultiline && rightViewWidth + leftViewWidth > screenWidth) {
isMultiline = true;
rightViewParams.addRule(BELOW, R.id.left_view);
rightViewParams.removeRule(ALIGN_PARENT_END);
rightViewParams.addRule(ALIGN_PARENT_START);
//Call again here to adjust dimensions for new params
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
} else if (isMultiline && rightViewWidth + leftViewWidth < screenWidth) {
isMultiline = false;
rightViewParams.removeRule(BELOW);
rightViewParams.addRule(ALIGN_PARENT_END);
rightViewParams.removeRule(ALIGN_PARENT_START);
//Call again here to adjust dimensions for new params
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
}
The layout XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#id/left_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>
<EditText
android:id="#id/right_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"

</merge>
I have a GridView with variable height cells. I want the row to be as high as all the largest cell in the row. I am able to adjust the cell heights to be consistent on a row, but I cannot set the Height of the GridView and have it actually change.
Another problem is that this GridView is in a ScrollView, so having a scroll bar is out of the question.
This is a problem because the way the GridView determines the height of the entire Grid is to take the first cell and multiply it by the number of rows. This is an obvious problem if the rows can have different heights. For example:
I have tried numerous ways to update it, but I am sure I am missing something simple. I am trying to do the update in a ViewTreeObserver so I know that the GridView has rendered so my calcs are correct (and they are). The code:
ViewTreeObserver treeListener = mGridView.getViewTreeObserver();
treeListener.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
#SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
mGridView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
else {
mGridView.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
// Calculate the new height we want for the GridView
int newHeight = determineCellHeight(mGridView, mNumberOfColumns, mRows);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = mGridView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = newHeight;
mGridView.setLayoutParams(params);
// Have tried all of these too!!!
// mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
// mGridView.requestLayout();
// mGridView.invalidateViews();
// mGridView.refreshDrawableState();
// mGridView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, newHeight + 10));
// mGridView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, newHeight + 10));
// View lastChild = mGridView.getChildAt( mGridView.getChildCount() - 1 );
// mGridView.setLayoutParams( new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, lastChild.getBottom() ) );
// mAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
// mGridView.invalidateViews();
// mGridView.setMinimumHeight(newHeight);
// mGridView.requestLayout();
// mGridView.refreshDrawableState();
}
});
I am beginning to wonder if this is even possible, though the numerous Stackflows seem to suggest it is...
I did come across this problem too several months ago, so there's an easy solution. You need to subclass your own GridView, and override the "onMeasure()" method so as to calculate the actual height of your needs. Here is the implementation.
public class ExpandableHeightGridView extends GridView {
boolean expanded = false;
public ExpandableHeightGridView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public ExpandableHeightGridView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ExpandableHeightGridView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public boolean isExpanded() {
return expanded;
}
public void setExpanded(boolean expanded) {
this.expanded = expanded;
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
if (isExpanded()) {
int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(MEASURED_SIZE_MASK,
MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
} else {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
}
Hope it helps.
I have created List view with in Scroll View for that I have created one method to set the height of list view. like below - This method is working fine in API 22 but not in API 18(got null pointer Exception while running in API 18). please give me solution thanks
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView)
{
ListAdapter mAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
int totalHeight = 0;
System.out.println("Adapter "+mAdapter);
for (int i = 0; i < mAdapter.getCount(); i++) {
View mView = mAdapter.getView(i, null, listView);
System.out.println("M View "+mView);
mView.measure(
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED),
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED));
totalHeight += mView.getMeasuredHeight();
Log.w("HEIGHT" + i, String.valueOf(totalHeight));
}
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalHeight
+ (listView.getDividerHeight() * (mAdapter.getCount() - 1));
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
}
You should not put a ListView inside ScrollView.
Just refer the below results.
ListView inside ScrollView is not scrolling on Android
Android list view inside a scroll view
There is no need to put your listview inside the scrollview .By default listview has scrollview .
I have had this error like you. And my solution is following as:
1. Create a custom listview which is non scrollable
public class NonScrollListView extends ListView {
public NonScrollListView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public NonScrollListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int heightMeasureSpec_custom = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(
Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec_custom);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = getLayoutParams();
params.height = getMeasuredHeight();
}
}
2. Use above custom class for xml file
<com.Example.NonScrollListView
android:id="#+id/lv_nonscroll_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</com.Example.NonScrollListView>
It worked well on all OS-version for me.
Hope best for you.
I have a horizontal scrollview with many EditText children. I want each of these children to be the same width of the visible area of the parent scrollview. Is this possible in XML?
You can do it writing a small helper class:
We are creating a very small class that extends EditText called FullWidthEditText like this:
package com.YOURPACKAGENAME;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.HorizontalScrollView;
public class FullWidthEditText extends EditText {
public FullWidthEditText(Context context) { super(context);}
public FullWidthEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) { super(context, attrs); }
public FullWidthEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) { super(context, attrs, defStyle); }
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
View parentScrollView=((View)(getParent().getParent()));
if (parentScrollView!=null) {
// check the container of the container is an HorizontallScrollView
if (parentScrollView instanceof HorizontalScrollView) {
// Yes it is, so change width to HSV's width
widthMeasureSpec=parentScrollView.getMeasuredWidth();
}
}
setMeasuredDimension(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}
Now you have this class created, you can use it in your XML just like a normal EditText:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/horizontalScrollView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffff0000" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<com.YOURPACKAGENAME.FullWidthEditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/yourEditTextId">
</com.YOURPACKAGENAME.FullWidthEditText>
<com.YOURPACKAGENAME.FullWidthEditText
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
</com.YOURPACKAGENAME.FullWidthEditText>
.
.
.
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
You can also create it programmatically, add handlers, listeners, change text, findViewById ... etc ... just like a normal EditText.
EditText editText=new EditText(context);
FullWidthEditText fullWidthEditText=new FullWidthEditText(context);
Note that this solution works for any other Widget as well. If you need ie. a full-width button, just change extends EditText for extends Button and you got it.
You can easily customize the size, the key line is: widthMeasureSpec=parentScrollView.getMeasuredWidth(); so you can ie. make full width minus 10 or 20px, make half width, etc.
Hope it helps !
I think ViewPager should be more appropriate but maybe you can try this view hierarchy:
HorizontalScrollView (width = MATCH_PARENT, weightSum = 1)
LinearLayout (orientation = HORIZONTAL, weight = 3, weightSum = 3)
LinearLayout (page 1, orientation = VERTICAL, weight = 1)
EditText (width = MATCH_PARENT)
LinearLayout (page 2, orientation = VERTICAL, weight = 1)
EditText (width = MATCH_PARENT)
LinearLayout (page 3, orientation = VERTICAL, weight = 1)
EditText (width = MATCH_PARENT)
Note: I have not tested it.
For your EditTexts, when you set layout_width or height to match_parent, they'll match whatever size their parent is set to. But their dimensions will expand once their content will be filled with text, hence having the same width / height than the ScrollView.
Although it can be done using horizontal scrollview. I have found it is much much easier to use a view pager instead. Its also cleaner and allows for a smoother swipe in my opinion.
Add the xml
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/pager"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="70dp"/>
set the pager up
mPager =(ViewPager)getActivity().findViewById(R.id.pager);
mPager .setAdapter(new CustomPagerAdapter());
mPager .setOffscreenPageLimit(6);
Adapter
public class CustomPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) container.getContext()
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View page= inflater.inflate(R.layout.page_item, container, false);
TextView textView =(TextView)page.findViewById(R.id.textView);
textView.setText("Text");
container.addView(page);
return(page);
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position,
Object object) {
container.removeView((View)object);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 16;
}
#Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return view.equals( object );
}
}
I found some edge cases where the FullWidthEditText posted by rupps didn't work, so I modified it to work in all the cases I've found:
public class FullWidthTextView extends android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatTextView
{
public FullWidthTextView( final Context context )
{
super( context );
}
public FullWidthTextView( final Context context, #Nullable final AttributeSet attrs )
{
super( context, attrs );
}
public FullWidthTextView( final Context context, #Nullable final AttributeSet attrs, final int defStyleAttr )
{
super( context, attrs, defStyleAttr );
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure( int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec )
{
View parentScrollView = ((View) (getParent().getParent()));
boolean needsRemeassure = false;
if( parentScrollView != null )
{
// check the container of the container is an HorizontallScrollView
if( parentScrollView instanceof HorizontalScrollView )
{
// Yes it is, so change width to HSV's width
int parentWidth = parentScrollView.getMeasuredWidth();
if( parentWidth > 0 )
{
widthMeasureSpec = parentWidth;
}
// It's possible for the parent to still have ZERO width
// in this case we must request to be remeassured
else
{
needsRemeassure = true;
}
}
}
super.onMeasure( widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec );
setMeasuredDimension( View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec( widthMeasureSpec, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY ),
View.MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec( getMeasuredHeight(), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY ) );
if( needsRemeassure )
{
post( new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
requestLayout();
}
} );
}
}
}
I'm having a little difficulties while trying to get a certain layout to work: I want to have list. List does not have to be scrollable, but should be shown completely. But the page itself should be able to scroll (with the lists in it), if the total content ist higher than the screen.
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linear_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#ff181818"
>
<Textview android:id="#+id/my_text" text="header contents goes here" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Textview android:id="#+id/headertext" text="header contents goes here" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/my_list1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
it only uses a small part of the screen (about 2 lines per list), instead of filling the available height, and the lists themselves can be scrolled. How can I change the layout to always show the whole lists but have the screen be scrollalbe?
The solution I used is to replace ListView with LinearLayout. You can create all your items inside LinearLayout, they will all be displayed. So there's really no need to use ListView.
LinearLayout list = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.list_recycled_parts);
for (int i=0; i<products.size(); i++) {
Product product = products.get(i);
View vi = inflater.inflate(R.layout.product_item, null);
list.addView(vi);
}
As #Alex noted in the accepted answer that LinearLayout is hardly a replacement. I had a problem where LinearLayout was not an option, that's when i came across this blog. I will put the code here for reference purposes. Hope it helps someone out there!
public class UIUtils {
/**
* Sets ListView height dynamically based on the height of the items.
*
* #param listView to be resized
* #return true if the listView is successfully resized, false otherwise
*/
public static boolean setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(ListView listView) {
ListAdapter listAdapter = listView.getAdapter();
if (listAdapter != null) {
int numberOfItems = listAdapter.getCount();
// Get total height of all items.
int totalItemsHeight = 0;
for (int itemPos = 0; itemPos < numberOfItems; itemPos++) {
View item = listAdapter.getView(itemPos, null, listView);
item.measure(0, 0);
totalItemsHeight += item.getMeasuredHeight();
}
// Get total height of all item dividers.
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() *
(numberOfItems - 1);
// Set list height.
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
params.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight;
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
listView.requestLayout();
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
Usage:
//initializing the adapter
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
UIUtils.setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(listView);
//whenever the data changes
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
UIUtils.setListViewHeightBasedOnItems(listView);
You can make your own customlistview. (It can extends ListView/ExpandableListView/GridView) and override the onMeasure method with this. With this you'll never need to call a function or anything. Just use it in your xml.
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2,
MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
}
I had a ListView in my layout and wanted to use a library which can't handle a ListView here because it wraps it into a ScrollView. The best solution for me is based on Fedor´s answer.
Since I already got an ArrayAdapter for the ListView I wanted to re-use it:
LinearLayout listViewReplacement = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.listViewReplacement);
NamesRowItemAdapter adapter = new NamesRowItemAdapter(this, namesInList);
for (int i = 0; i < adapter.getCount(); i++) {
View view = adapter.getView(i, null, listViewReplacement);
listViewReplacement.addView(view);
}
For me this works fine because I just need to display dynamic data varying from 1 to 5 elements. I just had to add my own divider.
If someone still has the problem then you can make customList and add onMesure() method just like I implemented it:
public class ScrolleDisabledListView extends ListView {
private int mPosition;
public ScrolleDisabledListView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public ScrolleDisabledListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public ScrolleDisabledListView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
final int actionMasked = ev.getActionMasked() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK;
if (actionMasked == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
// Record the position the list the touch landed on
mPosition = pointToPosition((int) ev.getX(), (int) ev.getY());
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
if (actionMasked == MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE) {
// Ignore move events
return true;
}
if (actionMasked == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
// Check if we are still within the same view
if (pointToPosition((int) ev.getX(), (int) ev.getY()) == mPosition) {
super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
} else {
// Clear pressed state, cancel the action
setPressed(false);
invalidate();
return true;
}
}
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
#Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int expandSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(Integer.MAX_VALUE >> 2,
MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, expandSpec);
}
}
Check this out:
ListView ignoring wrap_content
Using android:layout_height and android:layout_weight solved it for me:
<ListView
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
I just did it using setting params of ListView
public static void setListViewHeightBasedOnChildren(ListView listView) {
//this comes from value from xml tag of each item
final int HEIGHT_LARGE=75;
final int HEIGHT_LARGE=50;
final int HEIGHT_LARGE=35;
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = listView.getLayoutParams();
int screenSize = getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout & Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;
switch(screenSize) {
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE:
params.height =(int) (HEIGHT_LARGE*size);
break;
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_NORMAL:
params.height =(int) (HEIGHT_NORMAL*size);
break;
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_SMALL:
params.height =(int) (HEIGHT_SMALL*size);
break;
}
listView.setLayoutParams(params);
}
I don't have a static header, but using HussoM's post as a clue, here is what I was able to get to work. In my scenario, the height of the items in the list was non-uniform, due to variable text sentences in each of the items, and I am using wrap_content for the height and match_parent for the width.

this.setMeasuredDimension(widthMeasureSpec,

}
If all items has the same height
int totalItemsHeight = baseDictionaries.size() * item.getMeasuredHeight();
int totalDividersHeight = listView.getDividerHeight() * (baseDictionaries.size() - 1);
int totalPadding = listView.getPaddingBottom() + listView.getPaddingTop();
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) listTranslationWords.getLayoutParams();
lp.height = totalItemsHeight + totalDividersHeight + totalPadding;
listTranslationWords.setLayoutParams(lp);
Iam supprised no one see this.U cant have two scrolls on the same layout. 1st u have a scrollview and then u have a list, i bet u are killing some android good practices there.
If you want a simple solution to this problem without extending ListView class, this is a solution for you.
mListView.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
int height = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < mListView.getChildCount();i++)
height += mListView.getChildAt(i).getHeight();
ViewGroup.LayoutParams lParams = mListView.getLayoutParams();
lParams.height = height;
mListView.setLayoutParams(lParams);
}
});
In my case, I had ListView inside ScrollView and scrollview was shrinking listview by default. So I just add this in my ScrollView and it worked for me
android:fillViewport="true"
Set android:layout_height="fill_parent" in your LinearLayout
