I am putting this LinearLayout inside RelativeLayout.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#66000000"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="23dp"
android:src="#drawable/big_tick" />
</LinearLayout>
What I am trying to do is - to show which item has been chosen. I set LinearLayout's height and width match_parent. It is only matching parent(RelativeLayout)'s width, not height.
This is what I have intended to do:
This is what I am getting:
LinearLayout is not taking whole height of its parent.
There are 2 reasons, why I am using Relative layout as parent:
The LinearLayout should be in upside(should cover) book information with 40% black color
To show this symbol on the top of book
The whole XML looks like 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"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="6dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"

android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="11dp"
android:paddingRight="2dp"
android:paddingTop="8dp">

android:layout_height="23dp"
android:src="#drawable/big_tick" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
I am using this RelativeLayout in BaseAdapter class using which I am filling GridView with items.
public class LibraryAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
Context context;
RealmResults<RBook> rBooks;
LayoutInflater inflater;
public LibraryAdapter(Context context, RealmResults<RBook> rBooks) {
this.context = context;
this.rBooks = rBooks;
this.inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
}
#Override
public int getCount() {
return rBooks.size();
}
#Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return rBooks.get(position);
}
#Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return position;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
RBook rBook = (RBook) getItem(position);
View view = convertView;
if(view == null) {
// new row is needed to inflate new row
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.listitem_library_book, parent, false);
}
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(rBook.getCover() , 0, rBook.getCover().length);
ImageView ivCover = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.ivCover);
ivCover.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
TextView tvTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tvTitle);
tvTitle.setText(rBook.getTitle());
TextView tvAuthor = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.tvAuthor);
tvAuthor.setText(rBook.getAuthor());
return view;
}
}
EDIT:
Try1: as cj1098 suggested I have changed child LinearLayout to RelativeLayout. Unfortunately, no effect
Try2: as challenger suggested, I have used this inside my child LinearLayout, but effect was like this:
Try3: as codeMagic suggested, I have changed child LinearLayout's
gravity="center"
to ImageView's
layout_gravity="center"
In result, LinearLayout is not taking whole height.
So my question is how make child LinearLayout match parent RelativeLayout's height?
Try to add this to the LinearLayout:
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
Any way use can use this without even using the LinearLayout (with fixing the size of the drawable "big_tick" ):
<ImageView
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:background="#66000000"
android:layout_height="23dp"
android:src="#drawable/big_tick" />
I think that using this layout by itself is fine. It is the fact that you are putting it into a ListView is causing some sort a havoc.
However, you can force the overlay to align itself bottom and top with the book layout:
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/llBook"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/llBook"
After that maybe you still have a few margins to fix, but the two lines above will make the overlay be as big as the book layout.
it is taking the full height of its parent. Get rid of the padding on your child linear layout. Then if that doesn't work. Switch your linearLayout to a relativeLayout. (It's better anyway) another limitation is the actual images you are using. Do they have differing heights?
Remove the LinearLayout totally, use the imageview with src 'tick' as a direct child of the Relative layout with:
andriod:centerInParent=true
and then add View with the desired background transparency that has
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

This is my code for how each row looks.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:id="#+id/recipe_container"
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:background="#f1f1f1">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/recipe_name_text_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textSize="32sp"
android:text="DUMMY TEXT"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/recipe_time_text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="DUMMY TEXT"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/recipe_difficulty_text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="DUMMY TEXT"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/recipe_thumbnail_image_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/sladice"/>
</LinearLayout>
As you can see I have margin set, if I check preview it is also shown.
I populated with inflate this listivew.
This is activity_sladice.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView 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:id="#+id/recipe_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.example.android.recepti.Sladice"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary">
</ListView>
Now each row is together, there is no spacing between left, right, bottom , top.
If I add margin or padding to listview it only works on the entire list, not on each row.
How to do it? I know I can add divider between each row but I also want spacing right and left.
This is getView method from custom adapter.
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View recipeView = convertView;
ReceptThumbnail recipe = getItem(position);
// Inflate view if to be inflated
if (recipeView == null) {
recipeView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.recipe_item, parent, false);
}
TextView recipeName = (TextView) recipeView.findViewById(R.id.recipe_name_text_view);
recipeName.setText(recipe.getName());
TextView recipeTime = (TextView) recipeView.findViewById(R.id.recipe_time_text_view);
recipeTime.setText(recipe.getTime());
TextView recipeDifficulty = (TextView) recipeView.findViewById(R.id.recipe_difficulty_text_view);
recipeDifficulty.setText(recipe.getDifficulty());
ImageView recipeImage = (ImageView) recipeView.findViewById(R.id.recipe_thumbnail_image_view);
recipeImage.setImageResource(recipe.getImageResourceID());
}
If you want to add margins to the ListView, add margns to the listview.
If you want to add margins to the items, add margins to the items.
It is simple.
However, I suggest you to use ConstraintLAyout. And RecyclerView instead of ListView.
Try using padding in the LinearLayout, and create another LinearLayout as a child of the original, and move the background attribute to it.
try setting margin programmatically in getView method using below method.
public static void setMarginLeft(View v, int left) {
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams params =
(ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams)v.getLayoutParams();
params.setMargins(left, params.topMargin,
params.rightMargin, params.bottomMargin);
}
I'm trying to do a ListView of CardViews.
The CardView contains an ImageView at the top and several TextViews at the bottom.
I manage to do everything right, although for some reason the image don't fit the CardView (so it gets cropped at the top of it) and the TextViews overlaps the rest of the image.
I tried a lot of different solutions, although nothing worked for me and i cam't figure out why.
The main layout:
<ListView android:id="#+id/item_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
The CardView layout:
<?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="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin">
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView android:id="#+id/item_card"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/item_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/item_image_desc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/item_desc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
And the getView() methid:
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View cardView;
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) this.getContext()).getLayoutInflater();
cardView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_card_list, parent, false);
}
else {
cardView = convertView;
}
ImageView itemImage = (ImageView)cardView.findViewById(R.id.item_image);
TextView itemTitle = (TextView)cardView.findViewById(R.id.item_title);
TextView imgDesc = (TextView)cardView.findViewById(R.id.item_image_desc);
TextView itemDesc = (TextView)cardView.findViewById(R.id.item_desc);
Item currItem = this.getItem(position);
itemImage.setImageDrawable(currItem.mImageDrawable);
itemTitle.setText(currItem.mTitle);
imgDesc.setText(currItem.mDescription.imageDesc);
itemDesc.setText(currItem.mDescription.descText);
itemImage.setScaleX((float)1000 / currItem.mImageDrawable.getMinimumWidth());
itemImage.setScaleY((float)1000 / currItem.mImageDrawable.getMinimumWidth());
return (cardView);
}
It seems like the CardViews have a max height or something..can't tell :(
Thanks in advance!
My approach was all wrong. I realized that the setScale() methods I used only scaled the bitmap, and not the ImageView itself. Although when I tried to resize the ImageView before it was even layed down on the canvas, I got no luck either. So I did this:
Instead of trying to resizing the ImageView after I assigned it with a small bitmap, I resized the bitmap itself before setting it to the ImageView. Fixed everything :)
I have a ListView and I wanted to place a small rectangle on the side of each item. To do so I made the following rendered layout:
<?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"
android:padding="3dp">
<View
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/item_color_image"
android:background="#color/wallet_holo_blue_light"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="3dp" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/item_icon_image"
android:src="#drawable/m"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/item_color_image"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Business Name"
android:id="#+id/item_title_text"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/item_icon_image"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/item_icon_image" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:text="Distance"
android:id="#+id/item_distance_text"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/item_title_text"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/item_icon_image"
android:layout_marginBottom="-10dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
When I inflate this layout in a frame, it works just fine.....BUT when I inflate it inside a ListView I get this:
The rectangle's height is being ignored to match the container's height.
I inflate it using this code:
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View itemView = convertView;
if (itemView == null) {
itemView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.business_item_view, parent, false);
}
Business currentBusiness = businesses.get(position);
ImageView icon = (ImageView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.item_icon_image);
icon.setImageBitmap(currentBusiness.getIcon());
TextView name = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.item_title_text);
name.setText(currentBusiness.getName());
TextView distance = (TextView) itemView.findViewById(R.id.item_distance_text);
distance.setText("2 Km"); // TODO: Calculate distance
return itemView;
}
How can I fix this? Thanks!!
Having your root item for a ListView row be match_parent for height doesn't make sense; each item would fill the ListView. I expect that's automatically being changed to wrap_content somewhere.
And RelativeLayouts don't support children with match_parent for height if the RelativeLayout's height is wrap_content. It works with LinearLayouts, so you should look into switching to that. Source: combining wrap_content on parent and fill_parent on child
I have a layout problem with my custom viewgroup class.
I call init() in the constructor. In my init() function I inflate the viewgroups layout from an xml file, which contains a LinearLayout to which I add several other views.
I am using spacer (View layout_width="0" and layout_weight="1") to distribute the items equaly.
The problem lies here: the layout still has not defined any width when i add the children. So the spacer all have the size 0, and wont actually place the "line_dot" items equally. How can i somehow update their size?
public class SliderSwitch extends FrameLayout {
...
public SliderSwitch(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context);
}
private void init(Context context)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
inflater.inflate(R.layout.slider_switch,this);
sliderLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.sliderLayout);
labelLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.labelLayout);
// add one spacer
View spacer = (View) inflate(context,R.layout.spacer, null);
sliderLayout.addView(spacer);
// setup the view depending on how many elements there are
for (int i=1;i<numberOfElements-1;i++) {
ImageView lineDot = (ImageView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.slider_switch_line_dot, null);
sliderLayout.addView(lineDot);
View spacer = (View) inflate(context,R.layout.spacer, null);
sliderLayout.addView(spacer);
}
}
...
}
this is the xml file for the spacer:
<View
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" />
and this is the one for my viewgroup layout
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mainLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/left_bg" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/sliderLayout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/middle_bg"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<!-- <include layout="#layout/spacer"/> -->
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/right_bg" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/sliderKnob"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="0dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/knob" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I found the solution now. You have to set the LayoutParams in the code again (even if they are already defined in the xml file), then everything is neatly spaced, how its supposed to. seems to be a bug. But this solution works:
// add one spacer
View spacer = (View) inflate(context,R.layout.spacer, null);
spacer.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(1,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1.0F));
sliderLayout.addView(spacer);
// setup the view depending on how many elements there are
for (int i=1;i<numberOfElements-1;i++) {
ImageView lineDot = (ImageView) inflater.inflate(R.layout.slider_switch_line_dot, null);
sliderLayout.addView(lineDot);
spacer = (View) inflate(context,R.layout.spacer, null);
spacer.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(1,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,1.0F));
sliderLayout.addView(spacer);
}
You can call init() on onSizeChanged callback. Remember to set and keep a flag in order to avoid calling it twice, since this callback may run more than once.
Got a little problem. I'd like to create an android list view activity with all items in the list having a fixed height.
So, my item layout (thread_item.xml) looks like 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="300dip"
>
<TextView android:id="#+id/thread_item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="[dummy]"
android:textSize="20dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
<ImageView android:id="#+id/thread_first_image"
android:layout_below="#id/thread_item_title"
android:scaleType="centerInside"
android:maxWidth="100dip"
android:maxHeight="100dip"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/thread_item_preview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/thread_first_image"
android:text="[dummy]"
android:textSize="15dip">
</TextView>
</RelativeLayout>
I set layout_height of the root element to 300dip and expect all items to have the same height, but they don't. When I run the application it looks like the height having a wrap_content value.
In addition the activity itself looks like this:
public class ThreadListActivity extends ListActivity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
/*
Code to get items from the storage.
*/
setListAdapter(new ThreadItemAdapter(this, R.layout.thread_item, itemsArray)));
getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long id) {
/*Start new Activity. Unrelated stuff.*/
}
});
}
}
And adapter I'm using looks like this:
public class ThreadItemAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ThreadItem> {
Activity context;
List<ThreadItem> items;
public ThreadItemAdapter(Activity context, int textViewResourceId, List<ThreadItem> items) {
super(context, textViewResourceId, items);
this.context = context;
this.items = items;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inf = this.context.getLayoutInflater();
View result;
if (convertView == null) {
result = inf.inflate(R.layout.thread_item, null);
} else {
result = convertView;
}
TextView tbTitle = (TextView) result.findViewById(R.id.thread_item_title);
TextView tbPreview = (TextView) result.findViewById(R.id.thread_item_preview);
ImageView ivFirstImage = (ImageView) result.findViewById(R.id.thread_first_image);
ThreadItem item = items.get(position);
tbTitle.setText(item.getThreadTitle());
ivFirstImage.setImageBitmap(item.getFirstImage());
SimpleLeadingMarginSpan span = new SimpleLeadingMarginSpan(item.getFirstImage() != null ? 5 : 0, 115); // TODO: const
SpannableString previewText = new SpannableString(item.getThreadPreview());
previewText.setSpan(span, 0, previewText.length(), 0);
tbPreview.setText(previewText);
return result;
}
}
I can't see why all list items still wrap their content and don't stay 300dip in height. They might be both smaller or bigger then 300dip.
I'm using android 2.3.3, testing on HTC Evo 3D device and an emulator (both show same result).
Thanks a lot in advance.
UPD:
Thanks to Miguel and Sam. The solution is to set maxHeight to the textView, that makes my list item grow (that would be +id/thread_item_preview) and setting the RelativeLayout's minHeight to 300dip as well, to prevent it from shrinking.
when inflating for convertView, instead of just
result = inf.inflate(R.layout.thread_item, null);
do
result = inf.inflate(R.layout.thread_item, parent, false);
The method in question is inflater.inflate(int viewId, ViewGroup parent, boolean attachToRoot) -- because you're not honoring the supplied parent (which in this case is the ListView), whatever dimension you supply to the listview item will by default be set to layout_width=fill_parent, layout_height=wrap_content, ignoring the 300dip height you specified in xml. By supplying the parent view and passing false, the inflater will honor the 300dip height, while not attaching it to the root (parent).
What if you change all the child view heights in the row from wrap_content to match_parent?
From comments
Have you tried the minHeight and maxHeight attributes? For example:
android:minHeight="300dp"
You should also watch Android's Romain Guy discuss efficiency in adapters and getView().
Try changing this
android:layout_height="300dip"
to
android:minHeight="300dip"
This worked for me using an ExpandableListView, so I suppose it will work for this case.
You can achieve this by specifying the same dimension for Min and Max. This fixed my problem.

Try setting the content TextView's height to 0dp and then setting its layout_alignParentBottom to true.

If I'm not mistaken, the listView automatically modifies the LayoutParams of a custom view to wrap_content, wrap_content. However, the answers above are correct, if you set a minHeight or minWidth it will work brilliantly.
