How to add buttons like this in android. Is there a library for it or what is it called?
Please note that when keyboard is hidden, this button takes up the space for navigation buttons.
Another question: How to change the size of the blue app bar when keyboard appears or hides?
**UPDATE : ** I can implement a similar layout using borderless buttons in frame layout and setting the gravity to bottom. Then I used android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
in the manifest file to make it work with keyboard hide/unhide. Still these buttons are not taking the space of navigation buttons. Also still need guidance for change app bar size on keyboard appear.
You can use
1- AppIntro
2- AppTour
Well, I would say that the button is not related in any way with they keyboard. I bet it's just a button inside a FrameLayout with the android:layout_gravity="bottom" property set.
It is a borderless button placed in a container(probably LinearLayout)
container itself is called buttonBar
Borderless button
One design that can be useful is a "borderless" button. Borderless
buttons resemble basic buttons except that they have no borders or
background but still change appearance during different states, such
as when clicked.
To create a borderless button, apply the borderlessButtonStyle style
to the button. For example:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_send"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/button_send"
android:onClick="sendMessage"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle" />
sample for button bar
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/footer" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" style="#android:style/ButtonBar">
<Button android:id="#+id/saveButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/menu_done" />
<Button android:id="#+id/cancelButton" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/menu_cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
Effect of everything else collapsing and this button bar being at top op keyboard can be achieved by keeping your entire view except buttonBar in a scroll view.
Use this as a reference. Insert your layout inside ScrollView.
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"

<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"

<EditText

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lines="1"
/>
</LinearLayout>

/>

I'm using CircularSeekBar (by Matt Joseph) inside my android app. When I add ScrollView on top of my layout file, CircularSeekbar is not shown. If I remove ScrollView, then CircularSeekBar works perfectly fine. I want to use Scroll bar in my activity, any help in this problem would be great.
My Code as below -
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<in.company.appname.CircularSeekBar
android:id="#+id/ratingBar"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:start_angle="180"
app:end_angle="0"
app:circle_stroke_width="16"
app:pointer_radius="0"
app:lock_enabled="true"
/>
<TextView
android:text="4.5"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="130dp"
android:textSize="60dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-250dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Above code doesn't show any seek bar.
I have a custom dialog which has 3 buttons and sometimes it has one button only. When I have 3 buttons, the LinearLayout fits those buttons well in itself. But when I have just one button, it gives the whole width available to a single button making that button look too big. I want that, if there's only one button, it should only take half the the complete width available or should wrap content (Button image.) See following images for reference-
Refer this XML file which is similar to your requirement. Just visibility to gone to not required button.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:weightSum="3" android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Button"/>
</LinearLayout>
In order to have one button take up half the available screen width you need to
set android:weightSum="2" in the parent LinearLayout
set android:layout_weight="1" in the Button
I have a layout that uses an EditText to let users search a database and populate a ListView. The EditText is about 2/3 of the way from the top of the screen (positioned over an ImageView, and followed by some intro text.)
The problem is that the soft keyboard hides the EditText, so the user can't see what he's typing. (I disabled the auto-suggest.)
I've tried LinearLayout, RelativeLayout, paddings, and different alignments/centerings, but I still can't get it to work right. The EditText is either hidden, gets pushed off the top of the screen, or get "squished" and distorted.
Suggestions???
One possible workaround is to move the EditText to the top of the screen. However, this deviates from the graphic design that I was given.
Another possible workaround is for me to make the soft keyboard open in full screen (not sure how, though). This will still hide the EditText, but then I can re-enable the auto-suggestion so the user can see what he's typing... sort of... because he can only see the suggestions for what he's typing.
Here's my latest attempt. See "introFrame".

What you're looking for is the Activity's windowSoftInputMode attribute. You set this in your AndroidManifest.xml file, and give it a value such as:
adjustResize: "The activity's main window is always resized to make room for the soft keyboard on screen."
adjustPan: "The activity's main window is not resized to make room for the soft keyboard. Rather, the contents of the window are automatically panned so that the current focus is never obscured by the keyboard and users can always see what they are typing. This is generally less desirable than resizing, because the user may need to close the soft keyboard to get at and interact with obscured parts of the window."
adjustResize will probably work for you, as long as you wrap the layout in a ScrollView. It may have negative effects if you have a bitmap image in the background, as it will be resized as well, in which case you may want to use adjustPan instead.
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" />
or
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />
More information is available at the above link.
What has worked for me is to drop my highest-level LinearLayout in a scrollView (the ScrollView can only have one child). This allowed the entire activity/form to scroll up and not clutter the EditText in focus.
First, I set in my activity:
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />
Then I did the ScrollView thing I'm talking about:
<ScrollView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- STUFF -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
just use following in manifest...
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
try giving the edit text a layout_weight (i.e. layout_weight=1) , this may have some other effects on your other layout items that you may have to work through, but this may help it stay visible when soft keyboard pops up
I'm trying to implement a login view where several EditTexts and a logo are displayed on the screen with a ButtonBar at the bottom, something like this:
alt text http://russellhaering.com/media/addAccount.png
The problem is that on very small screens, especially when they are rotated sideways, the entire main view doesn't fit onto the screen.
I currently have
<?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:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

I've tried encapsulating the first LinnearLayout in a ScrollView that looks like this:
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- Linear Layout Here -->
</ScrollView>
But that introduces two problems:
The ScrollView doesn't scroll, even on screens where the data doesn't all fit
The ButtonBar floats on top of the onscreen keyboard, obscuring even more of the screen when the keyboard comes up.
Everything worked great when I had the buttons inside the ScrollView, but now that I have them in the ButtonBar I'm having a lot of trouble figuring this out.
It turned out that the solution required two steps:
The inability to scroll was a result of the ScrollView being behind the Button Bar. To fix this, I defined the ScrollView below the Button Bar, then used android:layout_above="#id/buttonbar_login" to force the ScrollView to reside entirely above the Button Bar.
Apparently when the onscreen keyboard is opened, if you have a ScrollView it will be resized allowing the Button Bar to float up with the keyboard. To fix this I modified the manifest and added android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to prevent the ScrollView from resizing.
If your use case supports hiding of the button bar in landscape orientation you can check Resources.getSystem().getConfiguration().orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE and set the button bar to View.GONE.
You also probably need to set android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" on the <activity> in your manifest file. Android will only put it in adjustResize automatically when the root layout is a ScrollView (iirc).
I'm trying to figure out how to embed things, other than Drawables, inside an EditText widget. Specifically the example I'm thinking of is from the Google Buzz widget:
screenshot
(no inline image, sorry, I'm a newb)
It appears to the casual observer that there's an entire layout object pinned to the bottom of the EditText, containing an ImageView, a TextView, and a Button.
Anyone have any idea how to pull this off? Or do we think this is a custom subclass of EditText?
The EditText + Button + ... it's a FrameLayout with the EditText with fill_parent and the Buttons with layout_gravitiy:"bottom". Something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Main Layout (may be relative or whatever --> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- Layout for edittext and button -->
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lines="5"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:text="Overflow"/>
</FrameLayout>
<!-- More layouts ..... --> </RelativeLayout>
you can use frame layout for embed Button in EditText,here i give sample code for embed TextView in EditText,just change the TextView as Button
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_x="40px"
android:layout_y="35px"
>
<EditText android:id="#+id/twt_post_content" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="320dp" android:layout_height="140dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp" android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:gravity="left" android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:maxLength="140" android:ellipsize="end" />
<TextView
android:text="123"
android:paddingLeft="270dp"
android:paddingTop="100dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:id="#+id/twt_content_count"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/red"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#color/transparent"/>
</FrameLayout>
I think that what they have done here is create a background for their layout that looks like an EditText. Then they added an EditText with the background turned off and come Buttons.
