Android - Adding a GridLayout inside a FrameLayout - android

I am trying to use the Library SwipeLayout (https://github.com/daimajia/AndroidSwipeLayout) to make a table of swipeable rows (that is, to achieve this effect). I want to create the table dynamically (with Java, not xml). The table (if it were to exist as xml) should look like this:
...TableLayout...
<TableRow
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="0dp">
<com.daimajia.swipe.SwipeLayout
android:id="#+id/swipe"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!-- The first view in SwipeLayout is the delete button hidden behind -->
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:id="#+id/delete1"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="16dp"
android:background="#FF0000"
android:textSize="22sp"
android:text="Delete"/>
<GridLayout android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/bottom_border_light_solid"
android:columnCount="2"
android:padding="10dp">
...TextViews...
</GridLayout>
</com.daimajia.swipe.SwipeLayout>
</TableRow>
.../TableLayout...
My table creation code looks like this:
TableRow row = new TableRow(c);
SwipeLayout swipeLayout = new SwipeLayout(c);
TextView delete = generateDeleteButton(c); //I have confirmed that this function works
GridLayout cell = generateRoutineLayout(c); //I have confirmed that this function works
swipeLayout.setShowMode(SwipeLayout.ShowMode.LayDown);
swipeLayout.addDrag(SwipeLayout.DragEdge.Left, delete);
swipeLayout.addSwipeListener(swipeListener);
cell.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
swipeLayout.addView(delete);
swipeLayout.addView(cell);
TableRow.LayoutParams lp = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
swipeLayout.setLayoutParams(lp);
row.addView(swipeLayout);
TableRow.LayoutParams rl = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
row.setLayoutParams(rl);//TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
row.setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0);
I have confirmed that generateRoutineLayout(c) works properly and generates a correct GridLayout. After closely inspecting the Tree View in Android monitor it is clear that the grid layout IS added to the SwipeLayout and IS properly sized, but it is simply not appearing!
I know that SwipeLayout extends FrameLayout. Is it possible that I can't insert a GridLayout into a FrameLayout?
Thanks

Try having RelativeLayout inside your FrameLayout and then add your GridLayout inside the RelativeLayout.
Hope this helps you.

Android: TableLayout programmatically fill up the whole screen with equal cells

Trying to do a dynamic TableLayout in Android.
In my layout there is only this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/main_table"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#android:color/background_dark"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:keepScreenOn="true">
</TableLayout>
I want to dynamically add rows (and columns) to this table, because at compile time it is unknown how many cells will I need to display.
What is known for sure however, that the whole table must fit to the screen (fit and stretch actually).
I created a layout for the rows too (for now with 2 fixed cells):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableRow xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Rate User1"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Rate User2"
/>
</TableRow>
In the activity's onCreate function I'm inflating 3 rows and I expect them to lay all over the screen:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
TableLayout tableLayout = findViewById(R.id.main_table);
TableRow.LayoutParams rowParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0, 1f /*0.33f*/);
TableRow tableRow1 = (TableRow)inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_stream_row, tableLayout, false);
tableRow1.setLayoutParams(rowParams);
TableRow tableRow2 = (TableRow)inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_stream_row, tableLayout, false);
tableRow2.setLayoutParams(rowParams);
TableRow tableRow3 = (TableRow)inflater.inflate(R.layout.item_stream_row, tableLayout, false);
tableRow3.setLayoutParams(rowParams);
//tableLayout.setWeightSum(1f);
tableLayout.addView(tableRow1);
tableLayout.addView(tableRow2);
tableLayout.addView(tableRow3);
}
But for now the row heights matches their content instead of stretching to the whole screen:
If I comment out the addViews, and put 3 TableRows into the main layout, it looks like as I want:
So the question is how can I achieve my desired result (2nd image), if putting rows directly into the layout file is not an option?
Solution was to change the LayoutParams of TableRow:
TableRow.LayoutParams rowParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 0, 1f);
to LayoutParams of TableLayout:
TableLayout.LayoutParams rowParams = new TableLayout.LayoutParams(TableLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, TableLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f);
After this change the layout is stretching to the whole screen.

Fail to Move a View to a TableRow

I am trying to inflate a layout resource and move some views in it to a table. I remove the views from their parents and then add them to the table. It works but what I really need is to add them to a TableRow in the table instead. However, when I tried to do that, nothing showed up.
To simplify the example, I just use views in an xml instead of ones generated in code. In the following xml, there are a TableLayout with one TableRow and an ImageButton:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
...>
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/table">
<TableRow
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/row_1"></TableRow>
</TableLayout>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="#+id/button" />
</RelativeLayout>
If I move the button to the table, it works:
Button button = (Button ) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.button);
TableLayout table = (TableLayout) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.table);
TableRow row = (TableRow) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.row_1);
((ViewGroup)button.getParent()).removeView(button);
table.addView(button);
However, if I move it to the TableRow, the button won't show up.
row.addView(button);
Does anyone have a solution?
Try to add the Button to a row like this:
row.addView(button,new TableRow.LayoutParams(
TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

Strange scaling of imagebutton in last column of TableLayout

I'm using a TableLayout with 3 rows, and 3 imagebuttons in each row. I want to keep the aspect ratio of the images.
I have defined a layout like this:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#000000"
android:padding="0dp" >
<TableRow
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="0dp" >
<ImageButton
android:layout_weight="1"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/Cell"
android:padding="0dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#drawable/empty" >
</ImageButton>
<!-- Two more images like above -->
</TableRow>
<!-- Two more rows like above -->
</TableLayout>
With this layout, I get something like this:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/reoSd.png
As you can see, strange holes between rows in the last column appear. I dont know why, but if I change the TableLayout margin to 0dp, this problem dissapears:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:background="#000000"
android:padding="0dp" >
And the result:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/Jytix.png
Why this behavior? What I am doing wrong? I have tested this, with many devices on the emulator and I always get the same. As additional information, I have printed the size and padding of the images of the last column and the first dinamically with getHeight() and getWidth()..., and i always get exactly the same.
I had this issue, you should use relative layout instead... If you still want to use Table layout, try :
TableLayout tableView = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.tableView);
TableRow row = (TableRow) inflater.inflate(R.layout.tablerow, tableView, false);
ImageView imgDis = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.spinnerEntryContactPhoto);
imgDis.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
imgDis.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
// set row height width
TableRow.LayoutParams params = new TableRow.LayoutParams(TableRow.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 50);
params.topMargin = 0;
params.bottomMargin = 0;
params.leftMargin = 0;
params.rightMargin = 0;
Hope this help

Android TableLayout CustomRow

I am trying to make a day-calendar and for that I am using a tablelayout and I then want to define a custom row(layout xml) containing TextViews to be able to access data here is and example of my table layout:
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/appointmentListView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TableRow
android:id="#+id/tableRow1">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/unitNul"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="00:00"/>
<CustomRow><\CustomRow> //this is where I imagined I would have to put my custom element
</LinearLayout>
</TableRow>
I would then proceed to put in appointments based on their time of the day in the correct rows (via. switch logic)
My questions are:
How do I add a Custom element to each tablerow?
Is this the best way to do so?
side note:
I have tried to make a custom view element, but this seems to be a bit too dificult for me to handle. (this is also an option if you know a good guide explaining this)
I have already tried: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/custom-components.html
create an Xml like this::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout
android:id="#+id/tablerows"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white"
android:stretchColumns="0,1" >
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
then in activity class dynamically add rows and the other views like this;;
TableRow row;
TextView t1, t2;
int dip = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,(float) 1, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
row = new TableRow(context);
row.setLayoutParams(new android.widget.TableRow.LayoutParams(android.widget.TableRow.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
android.widget.TableRow.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
t1 = new TextView(context);
t1.setTypeface(null, 1);
t1.setTextSize(15);
t1.setWidth(50 * dip);
t1.setPadding(20*dip, 0, 0, 0);
row.addView(t1);
then in ur table(here "myTable") add the row like this::
myTable.addView(row, new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

tablelayout not visible in my custom dialog

I have been trying to get some data to show up in my dialog.
In the dialog I have a checkbox and two buttons that show up, so I know it is loading my layout file.
I am not certain what else to do, so why would the background on my dialog be completely transparent, and more importantly, why can't I see anything in the two views I have experimented with?
Here is my entire layout file:
<?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="vertical" >
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/show_all_checkbox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Include books read" />
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/books_by_author_select_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Add Books" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/books_by_author_cancel_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Cancel" />
</LinearLayout>
<TableLayout android:id="#+id/books_by_author_list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:stretchColumns="0">
<TableRow android:id="#+id/TableRow01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:id="#+id/TextView01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="textfield 1-1"></TextView>
<CheckBox android:id="#+id/CheckBox01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></CheckBox>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I have also tried this with a ListView but the same results. Directly below the two buttons the dialog is transparent.
The TableLayout has nine children when it finishes being initialized, and since it wasn't showing up, I then added the TableRow in the xml above, originally that block wasn't there.
this.mContext = context;
setContentView(R.layout.books_by_author);
final TableLayout view = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.books_by_author_list);
for(int position = 0; position < list.size(); position++) {
TableLayout table = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.books_by_author_list);
// create a new TableRow
TableRow row = new TableRow(mContext);
// create a new TextView
TextView t = new TextView(mContext);
// set the text to "text xx"
t.setText(list.get(position).mTitle);
// create a CheckBox
CheckBox c = new CheckBox(mContext);
// add the TextView and the CheckBox to the new TableRow
row.addView(t);
row.addView(c);
// add the TableRow to the TableLayout
table.addView(row,new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
}
view.invalidate();
I have tried this with a ListView and just using an ArrayAdapter, and I have created a custom adapter extending ArrayAdapter and BaseAdapter.
I have also explicitly set the background of the ListView and TableLayout to be Color.YELLOW, and tried setting other colors, but nothing helps.
TableLayout doesn't work in many cases. Moreover, while running your app, TableLayout creates problem.
Always prefer using LinearLayout or FrameLayout.
Linearlayout can fit at any place where you are using TableLayout.
Solution: The problem was that the LinearLayout containing the buttons has fill_parent instead of wrap_content for the layout_height attribute.
