I have a 9-patch drawable(date_time). And i want to place this drawable behind Relative Layout content, so all child views should be drawn on top of this image.
Here is xml Layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="23dp"
android:layout_below="#id/tv_map_address"
android:layout_marginTop="11dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="12dp"
android:background="#drawable/date_time">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_map_distance"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_map_distance"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_map_distance"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/iv_map_distance"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="11sp"
android:text="2,7 км"
fontPath="fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf"/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_map_path"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/tv_map_distance"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_map_path"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_map_path"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/iv_map_path"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="11sp"
android:text="3,2 км"
fontPath="fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf"/>
</RelativeLayout>
But somehow this background overlaps all child content.
Here is shown what is happening.
But if i replace
android:background="#drawable/date_time"
to
android:background="#0000FF"
Everything is fine and the output is next:
Can you explain me what i am doing wrong?
Update:
Here is my 9-patch drawable.
Exactly as I thought your content indicators are incorrect (unless you wanna introduce such a content padding with your 9-patch). Try this instead:
Right and bottom guides, determine which part (or how much) of your drawable should be occupied by your content. You've set this region to really small space, and set a fixed height of your Layout. In other words: 9-patch forced your Layout to let its children occupy only a small, region of your view (which was limited by you not letting your Layout stretch).

I'm trying to create a message layout in a chat application.
This message layout should contain:
Message Textview in a rounded rectangle
Message status check icon ImageView within that same rectangle
Message send time TextView outside the rounded rectangle and to its right.
When text is short, the whole layout should align itself to the right.
When the text is long, message TextView is going to expand itself to the left and upon touching the left side of the screen, it expands to a new row.
The problem is: Rounded rectangle stretches to the whole screen regardless of the message being short or long although underlying FrameLayout width is set to wrap_content.
Here is an image of the problem:
The layout I am using is:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/outer_rl"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingTop="8dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_message_time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:textSize="10sp"
app:showDate="#{message.postedAt}" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/bubble_ll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/text_message_time"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_rectangle_bubble_sent"
android:padding="8dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_check"
android:layout_width="12dp"
android:layout_height="12dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
app:setStatusPng="#{message.status}" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/messagetext_tv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="6dp"
android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/iv_check"
android:singleLine="false"
android:text="#{message.messageText}"
android:textColor="#ffffff" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The inner RelativeLayout named bubble_ll has its width equals wrap_content.
What I am expecting is:
text_message_time TextView should be attached to the right of the screen due to its layout_alignParentEnd property set true.
bubble_ll stands left of the text_message_time view, due to its layout_toLeftOf property set. And it should have a width of its contents.
I have tried other layouts such as Linear, ConstraintLayout etc.
The LinearLayout approach did not work, since the width is set to wrap_content for TextView always overlaps status info checks and message time make them disappear when the message in the TextView is long.
With ConstraintLayout I could not align bubble to stay still on the right. It stays on the center of the screen horizontally since it is constrained on both horizontal sides of the screen.
Any help will be appreciated.
I have come up with the following layout which is a combination of RelativeLayout and LinearLayout. I hope this serves your purpose. Please change the drawables and the ids if necessary.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/outer_rl"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:padding="8dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text_message_time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/message_container"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_margin="4dp"
android:text="10:30 am"
android:textSize="10sp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/message_container"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/text_message_time"
android:background="#android:color/holo_blue_dark"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/messagetext_tv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="4dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="4dp"
android:singleLine="false"
android:text="You have a long message here. This is so long that it takes two lines inside the TextView. No wonder, now its taking three lines and now its four. How long this message can go? I now have that question!!!"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iv_check"
android:layout_width="12dp"
android:layout_height="12dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:src="#android:drawable/presence_online" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Is it possible to add padding into TextView with drawable element on its backround? Or do I need to use Draw 9-patch ?
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|left"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_height="85dp"
android:background="#drawable/text_background"
android:id="#+id/counter"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:paddingRight="2dp"
/>
This padding settings does not work. For 3-4 digits the background is displayed correctly but when it should adjust (for 5/6 digits) it stays the same.
UPDATE - add image
If You are adding drawable as background then drawablePadding doesn't works.
You just have to give proper padding to you TextView, so that it can handle most of your usecases.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_bankid_login"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/layout_user_detail"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/spacing_huge"
android:background="#drawable/textview_selector"
android:clickable="true"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:padding="#dimen/spacing_small"
android:text="#string/login_bankid"
android:textColor="#color/app_background_color"
android:textSize="#dimen/font_normal" />
Never give static height or width to your layouts as you have used in height. It will create problem in different screens and you will face text cutoff.
I'm trying to build the following layout on Android without any success.
I want a text to be displayed on my screen. It can take the whole width, but must be centered horizontally.
On the same line, on the right side of the screen I want to display a small layout. It shouldn't impact the horizontal centering of the main text and the main text shouldn't be visible behind the layout displayed on the right.
I cannot use a hard color for my layout background as it's displayed on a transparent background over a bitmap...
Any idea on how to achieve this ?
I can either use a RelativeLayout in which case the main text isn't centered based on the middle of the screen (it takes the right layout width into account)
Or the text is displayed behind the right layout...
Edit:
Here is one of my test
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="bottom|center_horizontal"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="?android:attr/textColorPrimary"
android:textSize="17sp"
android:text="very looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong text"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:padding="3dp"
android:visibility="visible" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="24dp"
android:layout_height="24dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:filter="true"
android:src="#drawable/device_access_time" />
<Spinner
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
RelativeLayouts adhere to the principle of z-indexes, so if you put the right-aligned layout first, the centered text view will be drawn correctly on top.
Here's the code:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/tc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/tc"
android:layout_marginLeft="185dip"
android:layout_marginTop="25dip"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/tc_icon"
android:background="#drawable/count_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/tc"
android:layout_mar
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tc_icon_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:text="1"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:textColor="#f7e906"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
I have somehow managed to make the image and the text views overlap each other (which I wanted). Now, I want them to be placed to the bottom left corner of their parent RelativeLayout (with id 'tc').... However, they just wouldn't move.
If I used alignParentBottom.... the entire relative layout stretches across the screen and aligns to its parent relativeLayout.
Please help. Thanks! :)
If you wanna overlap an image and a textview, simplw use a android:drawableleft or ony position where you want.
For example:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tc_icon_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dip"
android:text="1"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:textColor="#f7e906"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:drawableleft="#drawable/yourimage.jpg"/>
This will give you an image on the left of your textview. Check it out
I wanted to make two equally-sized radio buttons with a custom background, text, and an image to the right of the text. Because of how different these are from a standard "Button", I made them using a clickable "RelativeLayout".
The text and the image are of different heights, but I want each one to be centered vertically in the button. I also want the combination of the text+image to be centered horizontally in the button. This second part is what I'm having trouble with; it's off-center, close to the left side. In the image below, the left side is what I want, but the right side is what's happening. The image on one of the buttons (the one with the longer text) is resized to be smaller, too... Though there is still plenty of space on the right side of the button.
Here is my code:
<LinearLayout
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/my_button"
android:background="#drawable/radio_button"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/button_textview"
android:text="#string/button_label"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceButton"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
<ImageView
android:contentDescription="#string/image_description"
android:id="#+id/button_imageview"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:src="#drawable/my_icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/button_textview">
</ImageView>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
... same thing for the second button ...
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
What am I doing wrong?
Use this as your button:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
>
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="MyButton"/>
<ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:src="#drawable/my_image"/>
</LinearLayout>
Now, you can place it in other parent views. To apply layout attributes to above button, place those attributes in the outer <LinearLayout> tag of above button.
Alternative:
You can set custom images to be drawn on sides(Left,Right,Top,Bottom) of a TextView using attributes like:
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/my_image"
Turns out the solution was adding
android:paddingRight="0dip"
strangely enough, even though I didn't put any padding there in the first place.
