I am trying to make share button when clicked a Popupmenu appears with three horizontal choices facebook, twitter and google+.
I keep searching for a while but I got nothing until now.
Is it possible to create horizontal or even grid PopupMenu?
Is it possible to use RecyclerView in PopupMenu?
Instead of a PopupMenu, would you be able to use a DialogFragment with a custom layout?
In this case, you can use PopupWindow. You can use ListView to display items in each line. Example code to show a PopupWindow:
public PopupWindow popupWindowsort() {
// initialize a pop up window type
popupWindow = new PopupWindow(this);
ArrayList<String> sortList = new ArrayList<String>();
sortList.add("Google+");
sortList.add("Facebook");
sortList.add("Twitter");
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, sortList);
// the drop down list is a list view
ListView listViewSort = new ListView(this);
// set our adapter and pass our pop up window contents
listViewSort.setAdapter(adapter);
// set on item selected
listViewSort.setOnItemClickListener(onItemClickListener());
// some other visual settings for popup window
popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
popupWindow.setWidth(250);
//popupWindow.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.white));
popupWindow.setHeight(WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// set the list view as pop up window content
popupWindow.setContentView(listViewSort);
return popupWindow;
}

Hope this help!
Create a basic layout XML with an inner horizontal layout.
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/popup_horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Assign the layout to the PopupMenu, then use the inner layout.
// PopupMenu accepts ViewGroup, so cast the inflated layout view
// Replace ROOT_VIEW_HERE with the parent view of the PopupMenu
LinearLayout popupWindow = (LinearLayout) LayoutInflater.from(this).inflate(R.layout.popup_window, ROOT_VIEW_HERE);
PopupMenu popupMenu = new PopupMenu(this, popupWindow);
LinearLayout innerView = popupWindow.findViewById(R.id.popup_horizontal);
It really is that simple.
A complete solution is:
1 - The Custom PopupMenu class:
public class PopupMenuCustomLayout {
private PopupMenuCustomOnClickListener onClickListener;
private Context context;
private PopupWindow popupWindow;
private int rLayoutId;
private View popupView;
public PopupMenuCustomLayout(Context context, int rLayoutId, PopupMenuCustomOnClickListener onClickListener) {
this.context = context;
this.onClickListener = onClickListener;
this.rLayoutId = rLayoutId;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
popupView = inflater.inflate(rLayoutId, null);
int width = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
int height = LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
boolean focusable = true;
popupWindow = new PopupWindow(popupView, width, height, focusable);
popupWindow.setElevation(10);
LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) popupView;
for (int i = 0; i < linearLayout.getChildCount(); i++) {
View v = linearLayout.getChildAt(i);
v.setOnClickListener( v1 -> { onClickListener.onClick( v1.getId()); popupWindow.dismiss(); });
}
}
public void setAnimationStyle( int animationStyle) {
popupWindow.setAnimationStyle(animationStyle);
}
public void show() {
popupWindow.showAtLocation( popupView, Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);
}
public void show( View anchorView, int gravity, int offsetX, int offsetY) {
popupWindow.showAsDropDown( anchorView, 0, -2 * (anchorView.getHeight()));
}
public interface PopupMenuCustomOnClickListener {
public void onClick(int menuItemId);
}
}
2 - Your custom layout, e.g. linearlayout with horizontal layout. In this case I use a simple LinearLayout with TextView items. You can use Buttons, etc.
<?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="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/white"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/popup_menu_custom_item_a"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="A"
android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/popup_menu_custom_item_b"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
android:text="B"
android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium" />
// ...
</LinearLayout>
3 - Using the Custom PopupMenu like the normal PopupMenu.
PopupMenuCustomLayout popupMenu = new PopupMenuCustomLayout(
MainActivity.mainActivity, R.layout.popup_menu_custom_layout,
new PopupMenuCustomLayout.PopupMenuCustomOnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(int itemId) {
// log statement: "Clicked on: " + itemId
switch (itemId) {
case R.id.popup_menu_custom_item_a:
// log statement: "Item A was clicked!"
break;
}
}
});
// Method 1: popupMenu.show();
// Method 2: via an anchor view:
popupMenu.show( anchorView, Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);

I have a DialogFragment which consists of three parts, from up to down: the title, the central view which displays all the contents, and the bottom pane which holds the PositiveButton "OK":
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
FragmentActivity act = getActivity();
LayoutInflater inflater = act.getLayoutInflater();
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(act);
// TITLE:
TextView title = (TextView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_title, null);
title.setText(R.string.updates);
builder.setCustomTitle(title);
// CENTRAL VIEW:
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_updates, null);
// ... customize it ...
builder.setView(view);
// POSITIVE BUTTON:
builder.setPositiveButton( R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which)
{
// something
}
});
}
The stuff that's shown by the central view is downloaded from the web. Initially, when a user pops up the dialog, the View shows just the "Downloading..." message:
When we get an answer, we create a ScrollView and keep adding vertically scrollable Panes to it like so:
(image above shows three such panes added so far)
The result is that the height of the dialog keeps changing, which is visually unpleasant.
So I really want to keep the height of the whole Dialog constant, let's say pinned to 3/4 of the height of the screen. Let's do it then:
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
Window window = getDialog().getWindow();
Context context = getContext();
if( window!=null && context!=null )
{
DisplayMetrics metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
final float height= metrics.heightPixels;
WindowManager.LayoutParams params = window.getAttributes();
params.width = WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
params.height = (int)(0.75f*height);
window.setAttributes(params);
}
}
Result:
This does kind of work, as you can see though - it works by enlarging the lower pane with the 'OK' button, rather than the central View.
How to fix this?
EDIT: here's my dialog_title.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"/>
One workaround for this issue is to use ConstrainedLayout for your whole dialog like this:
fragment_dialog layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout 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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="Updates"
android:textSize="20sp"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/central_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Downloading"
app:layout_constrainedHeight="true"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/positive_action"
app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.8"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/title" />
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:id="#+id/positive_action"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="end"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:text="OK"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
You can change the percentage of your central view with app:layout_constraintHeight_percent="0.8"
DialogFragment class:
public class LoadingDialog extends DialogFragment {
#NonNull
#Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(#Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
FragmentActivity act = getActivity();
LayoutInflater inflater = act.getLayoutInflater();
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_dialog, null);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(act).setView(view);
// POSITIVE BUTTON:
view.findViewById(R.id.positive_action).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
//something
}
});
return builder.create();
}
#Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
getDialog().getWindow().setLayout(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
}
}
And you will get this result:
I'm using ViewPager. I want to put a button on each page, but in doing so fills the entire page. I would like to determine the width and height of button but do not know how.
This is my code:
Pager Activity
public class PagerActivity extends Activity {
PagerContainer mContainer;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
mContainer = (PagerContainer) findViewById(R.id.pager_container);
ViewPager pager = mContainer.getViewPager();
PagerAdapter adapter = new MyPagerAdapter();
pager.setAdapter(adapter);
//Necessary or the pager will only have one extra page to show
// make this at least however many pages you can see
pager.setOffscreenPageLimit(adapter.getCount());
//A little space between pages
pager.setPageMargin(15);
//If hardware acceleration is enabled, you should also remove
// clipping on the pager for its children.
pager.setClipChildren(false);
}
//Nothing special about this adapter, just throwing up colored views for demo
private class MyPagerAdapter extends PagerAdapter {
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, int position) {
TextView view = new TextView(PagerActivity.this);
view.setText("Item "+position);
view.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, position * 50, position * 10, position * 50));
view.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#CA2C68"));
Button buttonView = new Button(PagerActivity.this);
buttonView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_states_azul);
container.addView(buttonView);
return buttonView;
}
#Override
public void destroyItem(ViewGroup container, int position, Object object) {
container.removeView((View)object);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return 5;
}
#Override
public boolean isViewFromObject(View view, Object object) {
return (view == object);
}
}
}
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:background="#FF7CB8"
android:id="#+id/linear" >
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="4dp"
android:background="#CA2C68"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"/>
</LinearLayout>
<com.example.slidee.PagerContainer
android:id="#+id/pager_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"

</com.example.slidee.PagerContainer>
ViewPager expects the contained view to occupy the whole container.
Use some layout to contain a button:
LinearLayout lay = new LinearLayout(PagerActivity.this);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
buttonView.setLayoutParams(lp);
lay.addView(buttonView);
container.addView(lay);
an other way to do it is to make a new xml file and inflate it.
<?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">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/viewpager_button"
android:background="#drawable/button_states_azul"/>
</LinearLayout>
and in instantiateItem
LayoutInflater inflater = MainActivity.this.getLayoutInflater();
View pagerView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.viewpager_layout, null);
Button button = (Button) pagerView.findViewById(R.id.viewpager_button);
container.addView(button);
You are creating the button dynamically and hence by default it does a match_parent for width and height.
Add this line:
buttonView.setLayoutParams(new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
This is how i do it, create a xml layout you want to inflate. Add all the view you are intending. Then inside your adapter class, inside instantiateItem override do something like this. remember to adjust your xml views to fit parents width and height as you wish.
#Override
public Object instantiateItem(ViewGroup container, final int position) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Activity.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.your_view, container, false);
// get reference to your button over here if you have one
Button b = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.enter_button);
container.addView(view);
return view;
}
Im trying to add a view to my Material dialog using setView(...), I want to have my inflated view look like this
That is the recycler view will always take up roughly 2/3 of the screen. That includes when it is empty, where it will be an empty space and when it has many lines of data, where it can become scroll able.
This is my aim. However when I try to inflate this View inside my dialog I get the following..
That screen represents an empty recyclerview taking up most of the screen.
Here is the code
//Adding to dialog
mMaterialDialog = new MaterialDialog(mContext)
.setView(new ISEQDialog(mContext))
//.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.dublin_watchlist)
.setPositiveButton("OK", new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mMaterialDialog.dismiss();
}
});
mMaterialDialog.show();
}
});
//View
public class ISEQDialog extends FrameLayout{
SeekBar mBuySeekBar;
TextView mStockHeading;
Context mContext;
View mView;
RecyclerView mStockDataList;
public ISEQDialog(Context context) {
super(context);
this.mContext = context;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
if(inflater != null){
mView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.stock_dialog, null);
}
mStockDataList = (RecyclerView) mView.findViewById(R.id.rv_stock_data_list);
//
mStockDataList.setAdapter(new ISEQDialofRecyclerViewAdapter());
LinearLayoutManager layoutManager = new LinearLayoutManager(mContext);
layoutManager.setOrientation(LinearLayoutManager.VERTICAL);
layoutManager.scrollToPosition(0);
mStockDataList.setLayoutManager(layoutManager);
//mStockDataList.addItemDecoration(new DividerItemDecoration(mContext.getDrawable(R.drawable.divider)));
addView(mView);
}
}
//RecyclerViewAdapter
public class ISEQDialofRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<ISEQDialofRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder>{
#Override
public ISEQDialofRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onBindViewHolder(ISEQDialofRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder holder, int position) {
}
#Override
public int getItemCount() {
return 0;
}
public static class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder {
public ViewHolder(View itemView) {
super(itemView);
}
}
}
//XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I had the same issue trying to add the recycler view to the dialog.
When i tried troubleshooting i realized that only the constrcutor of the recycler view adapter gets called and stops. The remaining methods as getItemCount(), onCreateViewHolder() and onBindViewHolder() doesn't gets called.
So i did the following
1) i replaced the recyclerview with the linear layout.
2) referenced the linear layout as view holder in code.
3) Then i manually iterated through the list i was to pass to the recycler view and on so i inflated the single row xml file, referenced the views and set text on it.
4) I added the view to the view holder and displayed the dialog. It works
5) This operation inflates the view as we are not recycling anything so if the items to display is below 10-15 you can use this as well or else hits the performance of the app a slight.
In Activity
Dialog myTestDialog = new Dialog(getActivity());
myTestDialog.setContentView(R.layout.order_details_orders_to_deliver);
//get the layout group
ViewGroup layout = (ViewGroup) myTestDialog.findViewById(R.id.order_details_recycler_view);
List<OrderItemDetails> orderItemDetailsList = mDatabaseOperationsAdapter.getOrderDetail(ordersToDeliver.getOrderId());
for (int x = 0; x < orderItemDetailsList.size(); x++) {
OrderItemDetails orderItemDetails = orderItemDetailsList.get(x);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.order_details_row, null);
TextView itemName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.order_details_item_name);
TextView quantity = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.order_details_item_quantity);
TextView itemTotal = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.order_details_item_total);
itemName.setText(orderItemDetails.getProductName());
quantity.setText(String.valueOf(orderItemDetails.getProductQuantity()));
itemTotal.setText(String.valueOf(orderItemDetails.getTotalPrice()));
layout.addView(view);
}
myTestDialog.show();
Note : order_details_recycler_view is the linear layout not recycler view as i changed it to linear layout keeping the id same.
List orderItemDetailsList is the list that was to be passed to the adapter.
This problem is related to RecyclerView as i know, when it is empty it fills layout, unless you give fixed layout_height.
There is trick, which is you check list of items before you create alertDialog. If empty, create alertDialog without RecyclerView, just with warning text. Otherwise create your custom alertDialog.
What I'm trying to do is to have a listview item with a button in each list viewitem.
When the Buttton is being pressed I want a layout that is at gone state will be visible and expand with animation down, and if the layout is shown than when the same button is being preesed than the layout will slide up and be gone again.
In order to do so I've created the next layout for the listview item -
<?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" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/tilte_info">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:text="TextView"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_open"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:text="Open" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#5C83AF"
android:visibility="gone"
android:id="#+id/extend_info">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView_more_info"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:text="TextView"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
As you can see there are two layouts - one is tilte_info which is always shown and have the button in it, and the other one is extend_info which will be shown or hide by the button click.
Now I've used the next code in order to try and make it work -
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ArrayList<Place> placesList = new ArrayList<Place>();
placeAdapter adapter;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Place place1 = new Place("Place num 1", "some info on place 1");
Place place2 = new Place("Place num 2", "some info on place 2");
Place place3 = new Place("Place num 3", "some info on place 3");
placesList.add(place1);
placesList.add(place2);
placesList.add(place3);
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview_1);
adapter = new placeAdapter(this);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}
class placeAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Place> implements OnClickListener{
public placeAdapter(Context context) {
super(context, -1, placesList);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
if (convertView==null){
// use the LayoutInflater to inflate an XML layout file:
convertView=getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent,false);
}
TextView textTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView_title);
TextView textInfo = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView_more_info);
Button open = (Button) convertView.findViewById(R.id.button_open);
infoLayout = (View) convertView.findViewById(R.id.extend_info);
infoLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
open.setOnClickListener(this);
Place place = placesList.get(position);
textTitle.setText(place.getTitle());
textInfo.setText(place.getInfo());
return convertView;
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if(infoLayout.isShown()){
slide_up(MainActivity.this, infoLayout);
infoLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
}else{
infoLayout.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
slide_down(MainActivity.this, infoLayout);
}
}
}
public static void slide_down(Context ctx, View v){
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(ctx, R.anim.slide_down);
if(a != null){
a.reset();
if(v != null){
v.clearAnimation();
v.startAnimation(a);
}
}
}
public static void slide_up(Context ctx, View v){
Animation a = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(ctx, R.anim.slide_up);
if(a != null){
a.reset();
if(v != null){
v.clearAnimation();
v.startAnimation(a);
}
}
}
}
The thing is that I tried to debug the code and it getting into the onclick function but nothing is happening - the layout that is gone not been shown.
I've chacked the animation code with simple textview outside the listview and it worked, but when im trying to use it in the listview item, it doesn't work.
Any ideas why?
Thanks for any kind of help
Use ExpandableListView. You have to extend the BaseExpandableListAdapter to your adapter and override methods. In this methods, override getGroupView to display the name of expandablegroup and override getChildView method to inflate the child view for list. After inflating the layout for child, set whatever animation you want on that view.
you shoud use expandableview for it...
basic example fot that is here... expandavlelistview example
In my Activity i have:
DrawView which is a Custom Relative Layout.
This RelativeLayout should exist of a Custom Navigationbar and a Custom GridView
The Custom NavigationBar is added here to the DrawView:
final LayoutInflater factory = getLayoutInflater();
final View textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.multiplechoice, null);
com.lernapp.src.Views.NavigationBarTest navigation = (com.lernapp.src.Views.NavigationBarTest)textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.navigationbar);
RelativeLayout parent = (RelativeLayout)navigation.getParent();
parent.removeAllViews();
drawView.addView(navigation);
i wanted to do something similar with the GridView..
I dont get it, my CustomGridView is always null, why is this!?
MyCustomGridView grid = (MyCustomGridView)findViewById(R.id.gridview);
xml:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.lernapp.src.Views.MyCustomGridView
android:id="#+id/gridview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
android:listSelector="#android:color/transparent"
android:numColumns="auto_fit"
android:columnWidth="160dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
CustomGridView:
public class MyCustomGridView extends GridView implements OnItemClickListener{
private Listener mListener;
public MyCustomGridView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
setOnItemClickListener(this);
}
public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v, int position, long id) {
if (mListener != null) {
mListener.onClick(position);
}
}
public void setListener(Listener l){
mListener = l;
}
public interface Listener{
void onClick(int position);
}
}
EDIT:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
int height = this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
int width = this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
MyCustomGridView grid = (MyCustomGridView)findViewById(R.id.gridview);
DrawView drawView = new DrawView(this, dragFieldText, targetFieldText, height, width, grid);
final LayoutInflater factory = getLayoutInflater();
final View textEntryView = factory.inflate(R.layout.multiplechoice, null);
com.lernapp.src.Views.NavigationBarTest navigation = (com.lernapp.src.Views.NavigationBarTest)textEntryView.findViewById(R.id.navigationbar);
RelativeLayout parent = (RelativeLayout)navigation.getParent();
parent.removeAllViews();
drawView.addView(navigation);
setContentView(drawView);
}
Add this line to your onCreate and all will be good:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.the_name_of_the_layout_for_this_activity);
And to be really clear, its
setContentView(R.layout.the_name_of_the_layout_for_this_activity);
You should add to the onCreate, and it must be added BEFORE you try and do findViewById().
You have 2 options
you use findViewById. The view you're looking for MUST be "on the screen" by having used setContentView(). THere's no other way around it, that's what the function findViewById is for.
If you cannot use setContentView() because you want to programatically set this view and it is not in an XML you want to set for some reason, you have to INFLATE the view and then do your magic with it, and then you can use setContentView() as you wish. Examples of how to do this are easy, but check out the manual and some random example
As Heinrisch said you need to call setContentView before using findViewById().
Why dont you add your custom Relative Layout to your layout xml? Usually you dont need to inflate Views by yourself.
