Android right aligned LinearLayout strange animations on layout change - android

I have a right aligned linearlayout attached to a window (I am using a service)
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
llp = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE);
llp.gravity = Gravity.RIGHT;
windowManager = (WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
windowManager.addView(ll, llp);
It has two elements in it: an ImageView and a TextView.
LinearLayout.LayoutParams textParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, fixedHeight);
textView = new TextView(this);
ll.addView(textView, textParam);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams imageParam = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(fixedWidth, fixedHeight);
imageView = new ImageView(this);
ll.addView(imageView, imageParam);
This all works as expected, and image is on the far right and a text snippet is to the left of the image. However after a set amount of time I hide the text snippet.
textView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
I would have thought doing so would have no effect on the imageView as the imageView is on the far right.
However it appears there is some sort of built in animation on layoutchanges which makes the imageview jump to the left most point of the linearlayout and animate back to its original position.
Does anyone know how to disable that animation? I have looked into it and thought something like this would do it:
ll.setLayoutTransition(null);
But it has no effect. I also found this suggestion:
LayoutTransition lt = new LayoutTransition();
lt.disableTransitionType(LayoutTransition.DISAPPEARING);
mContainerView.setLayoutTransition(lt);
That changed the animation actually making it a bit worse for my case.
If anyone has any information on how to disable all layoutchange animations or even any information on them it would be much appreciated.

Aligning child in fixed width LinearLayout

I'm unable to center-align a child inside a LinearLayout that uses a fixed width. As far as I can see, this should be possible by setting the gravity flag on the LinearLayout but it doesn't seem to work.
Here is the code:
LinearLayout hbox = new LinearLayout(getContext());
hbox.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();
getContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.listChoiceIndicatorMultiple, typedValue, true);
CheckedTextView ctv = new CheckedTextView(getContext());
ctv.setCheckMarkDrawable(typedValue.resourceId);
params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ctv.setLayoutParams(params);
hbox.addView(ctv);
params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(200, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
hbox.setLayoutParams(params);
As you can see, the CheckedTextView uses WRAP_CONTENT so it should be possible to align it. Its parent LinearLayout uses a fixed width of 200 pixels and gravity set to Gravity.CENTER. Still, it isn't center-aligned but the checkbox always appears on the left side of the LinearLayout, not in the center.
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong there?
To answer my own question, setting params.gravity was wrong because this corresponds to the alignment of hbox within its parent. What I want, though, is to set the alignment of the children of hbox, so it has to be like this instead:
params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(200, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
hbox.setLayoutParams(params);
hbox.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
Then it works.

Android first ImageView in vertical LinearLayout stretching

I'm creating the above popup, the content of which consists of rows of horizontal LinearLayout views within a main vertical LinearLayout. Each horizontal LinearLayout contains one ImageView and one TextView.
I'm creating this within a PopupWindow, and doing so programmatically so that I can change the ImageView source as required.
As you can see the first icon seems to take up a lot of space, despite having the same code generating it as the other icons.
Below is the code:
LinearLayout verticalLayout = new LinearLayout(context);
verticalLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams mainLayoutParams =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
verticalLayout.setLayoutParams(mainLayoutParams);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams iconParams =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams textParams =
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//History row
LinearLayout historyLayout = new LinearLayout(context);
historyLayout.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
historyLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
ImageView historyIcon = new ImageView(context);
historyIcon.setImageResource(R.drawable.small_book_grey);
historyIcon.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
historyIcon.setLayoutParams(iconParams);
historyLayout.addView(historyIcon);
TextView historyText = new TextView(context);
historyText.setLayoutParams(textParams);
historyText.setText("History");
historyLayout.addView(historyText);
verticalLayout.addView(historyLayout);
//Exam row...
//... (duplicate of history row)
I've tried playing around with the layout parameters, even creating a mock xml layout that displays the content as I'd like, to match the parameters to.
If anyone can give some advice on making that book icon the same size as the others, I'd be grateful.
Add a scaleType to ImageView of fitCenter
Write this code under historyIcon.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
historyIcon.setWidth()`
And put width according to your layout.
Although I didn't figure out why the first image was scaling differently to the other images, I did find another solution: Using compound left drawables.
historyText.getViewTreeObserver()
.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
Drawable img = m_context.getResources().getDrawable(
R.drawable.small_book_grey);
img.setBounds(0, 0, img.getIntrinsicWidth() * historyText.getMeasuredHeight() / img.getIntrinsicHeight(), historyText.getMeasuredHeight());
historyText.setCompoundDrawables(img, null, null, null);
historyText.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
});
Manually setting the bounds to match the TextView worked. Seems clunky, but it was the only way I could get it to do what I was aiming for.

Adding Views to LinearLayout with weight programmatically

I am getting stucked on the following problem:
For a questions app I want to implement a nice output for a survey showing the possible answers and the percentage of people answered the specific question. Therefore, I want to add a "bar" to my app that displays the percentage. I try to solve this by using views and weighting them in a linear layout.
I want to add the different answers programmatically, this is the code I've got so far.
My problems are, that I am not getting closer to weighting the views and resizing them.
/* Add all questions */
RelativeLayout my_root = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.ownerRL);
/* Add a new Linearlayout as a container for the question */
LinearLayout A = new LinearLayout(this);
A.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
my_root.addView(A);
/* Create a new View in this container, for the status bar */
View new_view = new View(getBaseContext());
new_view.setBackgroundColor(Color.YELLOW);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(50, 20, 3);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) A.getLayoutParams();
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.question1);
A.addView(new_view);
View new_view2 = new View(getBaseContext());
new_view.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp2 = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(50, 20);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params2 = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) A.getLayoutParams();
params2.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.question1);
params2.addRule(RelativeLayout.LEFT_OF, new_view.getId());
A.addView(new_view2);
The Green view should actually be right of the yellow one (which is not visible).
How do get it managed such that it creates a red/white bar that has a height of 4px and the red and weight parts are weighted?
Thanks for your help!
check this link, Set Linear Layout weight it like this
LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, 1.0f);
The last parameter is weight.Hope this help.

Custom view: nested linearlayout not showing up

I created a custom view. In it, theres a line, a textview, another line. beneath the bottom line, i wanted to put a new horizontally oriented linearlayout. when i run it, this nested linearlayout doesnt seem to show up at all. Instead, i can see the test button right underneath the bottom line. what am i doing wrong?
public class MyView extends LinearLayout {
public MyView(Context context, Question question) {
super(context);
// this.setLayoutParams(params);
this.setOrientation(VERTICAL);
this.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams lineParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 2);
View topLine = new View(context);
lineParams.setMargins(0, 15, 0, 0);
topLine.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 0, 159, 218));
topLine.setLayoutParams(lineParams);
this.addView(topLine);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//Challenge Question
TextView questionText = new TextView(context);
questionText.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
questionText.setTextSize(14);
questionText.setLayoutParams(params);
questionText.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
questionText.setText(question.getQuestion());
this.addView(questionText);
View bottomLine = new View(context);
bottomLine.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 0, 159, 218));
bottomLine.setLayoutParams(lineParams);
this.addView(bottomLine);
LinearLayout innerLayout = new LinearLayout(context);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams innerLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(300, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
innerLayout.setLayoutParams(innerLayoutParams);
innerLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
innerLayout.setOrientation(HORIZONTAL);
//TableLayout for the multiple choices
TableLayout tableLayout = new TableLayout(context);
LayoutParams tableLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
// tableLayoutParams.weight = .8f;
tableLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
tableLayout.setLayoutParams(tableLayoutParams);
innerLayout.addView(tableLayout);
this.addView(innerLayout);
Button button = new Button(context);
button.setLayoutParams(params);
button.setText("testing 123");
this.addView(button);
}
Note that I pasted the code without all the stuff that I added to the tablelayout. I probably should have pasted that too. But it didn't work when I did that either. but either way, if i set the nested linearlayout to 300 width and set a background color of red to it, i should at least see it, no?
Think about what the height of the inner layout should be. Right now it is wrap_content and contains a TableLayout (with no rows) with its height also set to wrap_content. There doesn't seem to be anything in that inner layout giving it a height dimension, so that may be why it is not being displayed.
Trying the following will make your layout visible:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams innerLayoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(300, 300);
More usefully, you can try adding something with a real width/height to the TableLayout.
Also consider writing your layout in XML to better separate your application logic and the presentation.

How i detemine Button (x,y) cords in Layout?

I Have this simple Code:
layout = new RelativeLayout(this);
bottom = new LinearLayout(this);
Button close = new Button(this);
close.setText("Close");
bottom.addView(close);
layout.addView(bottom);
setContentView(layout);
How can i put my button at the bottom of the window i prefer to determine the x,y cords but any solution will be good.
since the absoluteLayout is deprecated i tried using the Relativelayout as the api adviced with no succes.
i'm not using XML at all is that a problem ?
You can set LayoutParametrs (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) to your elements. And don't forget to set LayoutParams to parent view.
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lp.addRule(ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
button.setLayoutParams(lp)
