Divide Screen into Four Equal Parts using Relative Layout

Divide Screen into Four Equal Parts using Relative Layout - android

I currently have code that allows me to divide the screen into four equal parts, with an image button in each part. However, the code uses linear layouts which brings up the suggestion "nested weights are bad for performance". How can I make my layout using relative layouts?
Below is the code, and here is a picture of the intended format
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#ff191919">
<ToggleButton
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff414141"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:text="Plane"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:onClick="airplaneClicked"/>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff414141"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#drawable/ic_brightness"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#ff191919">01
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/button3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff414141"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#drawable/ic_sound" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/settingsbutton"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#ff414141"
android:layout_weight="1.0"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#drawable/settings2"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Using below xml:

Try this code for your RelativeLayout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/r1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/r3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="225dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/i1"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/i2"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/r2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="225dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/r3" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/i3"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/i4"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Try this
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1.0">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

Multiple layouts, one activity

I want to create an activity that contains 5 "FrameLayout" like the picture below.
3 equal FrameLayout in the first row and 2 FrameLayout in the second row.
I did it using Linear layouts but I got a warning that nested weights are bad. So is there an other way to make it.
Fragments should be streched on the screen without using values like (100dp).

you cal also use the two table layout..
like
<TableLayout android:weight='1'>
<TableRow>
<Linear>
<FrameLayout /> <FrameLayout /> <FrameLayout />
</Linear>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
<TableLayout android:weight='1'>
<TableRow>
<Linear>
<FrameLayout /> <FrameLayout/>
</Linear>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
its rough layout . i hope you got the idea.

Try this
<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"

Image Icons are ..
xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:background="#drawable/article_icn"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:scaleType="center" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/forum_icn"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"

android:background="#drawable/profile_icn"

I tried your code and modified a bit:
<?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" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/bottom" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:weightSum="3" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/icon"
android:padding="10dp"
android:scaleType="center" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/icon"
android:padding="10dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/icon"
android:padding="10dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Assigning android:weightSum="3" to container and weight 1 to all images works fine:
Output:

Check this layout, works exactly as you want. Just replace the image icons and background.

OUTPUT

You can use weight attrib:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#000000"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:src="#android:drawable/sym_action_chat" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.25"
android:src="#android:drawable/sym_action_chat" />

How to show arrow images in center?

In my app I have one layout to show text on top, image in center and then text in bottom. But now I want to try add Images of left arrow on left side and right arrow on right side in center of the image layout. Because I am using swipe in activity.
Following is my xml code and what I have tried. I want to use weight if it is possible.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/light" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="#dimen/txt"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:orientation="vertical" >
/////////////////////////I have tried this
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="center|left"
android:background="#drawable/left"/>
<ImageView android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="center|right"

Try this..
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/left"/>
<ImageView android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.6"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/yourimage"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/right"/>
</LinearLayout>
OR
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/left" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:src="#drawable/yourimage" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/right" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I would suggest using a RelativeLayout for your need.

Try this with Using RelativeLayout
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>

I have changed your LinearLayout with the RelativeLayout and made its gravity to center and set the images to left and right and it done.
Just change your layout android:id="#+id/layout2" with RelativeLayout as below:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="5"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#drawable/left" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="35dp"
android:layout_height="45dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#drawable/right" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

You can use Relative layout like:-
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/yourTextItem"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
>
</Button>
<Button
android:id="#+id/right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
>
</Button>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

layout design using weight
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="gaesh"
android:textColor="#4FFFFF"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="8"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center|left"
android:src="#drawable/yout image "
android:background="#123456" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="8"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center|right"
android:src="#drawable/yout image "
android:background="#334343" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center|right"
android:src="#drawable/yout image "
android:background="#654321" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.info.abc.TextViewEx
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
android:textSize="14sp" />

What is the proper way to center the image and text below it?
Many thanks in advance.

Try this its work for me
<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=".MainActivity" >
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="151dp"
android:onClick="onClick"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:text="Button" />
</RelativeLayout>

Try change the button to LinearLayout and use same onclicklistener on fakebutton
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/fakeButton"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon_big_evento" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/menu_about" />
</LinearLayout>
