What is the best way to achieve a design icons with text with the support library for the design material.It would look something like the image of link above
enter link description here
As Karakuri said in comments, nested LinearLayouts will render your the required view like this
Here is the code for layout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:weightSum="3"
android:padding="16dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_action_repeat_48d"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Repeat"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_action_heart_48d"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Favourite"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_action_shuffle_48dp"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Shuffle"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The code is just a layout structure, you have to add paddings and ImageView width-height as you want. You have to do a little work for your desired layout. If you want two rows likewise your uploaded picture, just replicate the layout twice.
Hope it helps or drop a comment if any trouble implementing.
Cheers!

Let me explain i have a xml like this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgCircle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/img_circle" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/llFirstScreen"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/imgCircle"
android:background="#drawable/layout_view_round_corner"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mapCurrentLocation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="TextView1"
android:textColor="#color/lblTextColor"
android:textSize="#dimen/lblTextLarge"
android:textStyle="normal" >
</TextView>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="TextView2"
android:textColor="#color/lblHintColor2"
android:textSize="#dimen/lblTextMedium"
android:textStyle="normal" >
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
And this gives me Image and TextViews next to it
But i want to accomplish something like this
that TextView Background is extended (padding maybe) at the half of the Rounded Image (behind it) so that it looks like its "part" of the image. Or I was thinking of Making a view with background white that goes behind TextView so that it looks that way. But wanted to ask here maybe if there is a better way to do this.
I hope i was clear in explaining this (That is why I added pictures).
I have tried to use demo with your xml file and you can check below code. I had to give static height and width of the ImageView to achieve result.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/llFirstScreen"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/imgCarCircle"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/imgCarCircle"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:background="#color/colorAccent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="40dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/mapCurrentLocation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="text1"
android:textStyle="normal"></TextView>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="text2"
android:textStyle="normal"></TextView>
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgCarCircle"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:src="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round" />
</RelativeLayout>
try these:
first solution: change this
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/llFirstScreen"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_toEndOf="#id/imgCircle"
android:background="#drawable/layout_view_round_corner"
android:orientation="vertical">
to this:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/llFirstScreen"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/imgCircle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp" // or just figure your image width and set this programatically
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/layout_view_round_corner"
android:orientation="vertical">
second solution: it to use AbsoluteLayout which is a bit hard to handle.
I think to do a overlay of layout, this is the code that I have now.:
<?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:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container_main"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/text_search"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#color/white"

android:imeOptions="actionSend"/>
<ImageView

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.5"
android:src="#drawable/img_header" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="-5dp"

android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical|center"/>
<ListView

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="50dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/style_header"
android:weightSum="3">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/otherlayout2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="gone"
android:text="Other Layout 2" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container_buttons_tall2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/style_header"">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/otherlayoutn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:visibility="gone"
android:text="Other Layout N" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
I want to overlay the next layouts after of the ID "#+id/text_search" with the rest, this list is the a search and show suggestions to users.
This list will overlay about others layouts that I define below, if the user want to make a search.
Are there some way easy of overlay? Or tutorial that can help me. I try to use RelativeLayout, but I didn't get to make it well.
Thanks in advance.
you can use the Relative Layout for this, but you need to specify the relations (thats why relative => relative to what)
means you have to set the postion of your +id/text_search relative to parent.
and also the elements which should do the overlayer have to be relative to parent.
todo so relative Layout uses layout properties like: below=(ID) toRightOf(ID) and so on.
you can start reading about it here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/relative.html
but for the search you want todo, there is already a good advice howto it: so i recommend reading this article:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/search-dialog.html
and doing it right, like all the others apps do it, your customers will be satisfied then (don't need to learn something new )
I am developing an app which has a splash screen, you can see it in the picture below.
My problem is that I am needing to put a progress bar as you can see in the picture below without many layouts, because now I have eight layout in order to get this effect (layout-sw320dp, layout-sw320dp-land, layout-sw480dp, layout-sw480dp-land...600,720).
I was trying use relative layout and center horizontally the progress bar, but with different screen sizes the progress bar get other position vertically.
Could I solve it with less folders?
This is my layout file for 320dp:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/splash_screen_land"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="24dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
I suggest you use just one layout file, let's say splash.xml. Put in a RelativeLayout your ImageView, with android:layout_centerInParent="true". Then your ProgressBar with android:below="#id/image" to put it relatively below the image. You can change the layout paddingBottom to adjust views in the center of the layout.
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/padding_bottom">
<ImageView
android:id="#id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/image"
android:minHeight="#dimen/progress_height"
android:minWidth="#dimen/progress_height" />
</RelativeLayout>
Now instead of having many layouts, you will keep the above layout, and create many values according to your screen sizes. Meaning :
values/dimens.xml
values-large/dimens.xml
values-land/dimens.xml
etc.
Thus, your view's layout won't change from a screen to another, only their size will !
Maybe 3 horizontal LinearLayout using layout_weight to center everything horizontaly with respect of the ratio, containing a vertical LinearLayout with centered gravity?
If you post your actual layout file, that could be easier to explain.
Edit:
Something like that: (you may have to play with the layout_weight values to get the size you want:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"></LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"></LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/splash_screen_land"/>
<ProgressBar
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"></LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"></LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I could solve it with weightSum, layout_weight properties which are very useful to imitate percentages.
This is my code with the problem solved:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/splash_screen_land"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v7.widget.Space
android:id="#+id/space1"
android:layout_weight="100"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp" />
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="15" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="17"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="TextView"
android:textSize="20sp" />
</LinearLayout>
I hope this will be useful for someone else
firstly excuse me for terrible naming with the subject.
I have the following layout setup:
<RelativeLayout 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"
tools:context=".PersonDetails" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/bannerLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/coverImage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#drawable/default_cover">
</ImageView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/thumbImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left|bottom"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#drawable/fingerprint_ic" />
</FrameLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textColor="#55FF55"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</RelativeLayout>
What i am trying to achieve is to have a banner (much like facebook cover that spans across the top of the screen). And have a thumbnail photo at the corner left of the banner.
The height of the banner should only takes up about 1/4 of the height of the screen. Since i would need the rest of the space for other components.
Immediately below the banner i would like to have a TextView (on the leftside) and a button on the rightside.
So far i can only able to put the thumbnail on top of the banner, but i don't know how to place it on the lower left (i could set it using marginTop but, i believe this is not the correct way of doing it).
Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks.
EDIT #1:
Here is the UI
From your description i think you want to make something like this:
I used a linearlayout with 2 layouts as content. Using the android:layout_weight attribute we can make the top layout take up 1/4th of the space, while the bottom layout has the rest to use.
Then to position the icon in the top layout we use alignParentBottom to make it stick to the bottom.
<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"
tools:context=".PersonDetails"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/bannerLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/coverImage"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/default_cover"></ImageView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/thumbImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:scaleType="fitStart"
android:src="#drawable/fingerprint_ic" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_margin="10dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="40dp"
android:text="Large Text"
android:textColor="#55FF55"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I have some behaviour of my layout. I give two of them, very similar to each other. Only one difference is the width attribute of the textviews.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="bottom">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:isScrollContainer="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#color/black">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#color/black"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Einstellungen"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/selector_settings"
android:id="#+id/main_menu_button_connection"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="10px">
</TextView>
...
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Suche"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/selector_search"
android:id="#+id/main_menu_button_connection"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="10px">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
If layout_width is set to wrap content, I get following layout results:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="bottom">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:isScrollContainer="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#color/black">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/tabs"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#color/black"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Einstellungen"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/selector_settings"
android:id="#+id/main_menu_button_connection"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="10px">
</TextView>
...
<TextView
android:layout_width="70dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Suche"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/selector_search"
android:id="#+id/main_menu_button_connection"
android:gravity="center"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textSize="10px">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
If layout_width is set to a value instead (here 70dp), my layout looks so, I want it to have:
Can anybody explain me, why?!
Is there some solution avoiding to set a constant width and still having layout result like at the second picture?!
Thank you in advance
You probably want to give each TextView an equal layout weight such as android:layout_weight="1" and a width of fill_parent. Also, don't give a weight for the tabs linear layout. Also, while I don't really know what's going on later in the layout file, having three nested LinearLayouts seems like it might be wasteful. Maybe you can get rid of one of them?
I recommend starting over and using the eclipse designer view or use droiddraw to create the layout, especially since there are recent improvements to the layout editor.
