I'm trying to align 3 buttons in a row in the center of the screen. Each button will have a background color, an image, and some text under the image. I've tried using LinearLayout but I can't put the image over the button. I've tried RelativeLayout, and I managed to get them in a row, but they are not in the center of the screen. Any advices?
<Button
android:id="#+id/start"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="85dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="25dp"
android:paddingRight="25dp"
android:background="#drawable/light"
android:text="#string/start"
android:textColor="#color/text"
android:textSize="8pt"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/image"
android:src="#drawable/hstart"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/start"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/start"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/start"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/start"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp" />
Here is your Button view (your_btn_view.xml in the layout folder):
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:clickable="true"
android:background="#android:drawable/btn_default"
android:gravity="center" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/btn_iv"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_add" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/btn_tv"
android:text="text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Here is your layout view containing three buttons:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<include
android:id="#+id/btn1"
layout="#layout/your_btn_view" />
<include
android:id="#+id/btn2"
layout="#layout/your_btn_view" />
<include
android:id="#+id/btn3"
layout="#layout/your_btn_view" />
</LinearLayout>
Then, access and fill in the appropriate TextView and ImageView in your onCreate() like so:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle sIS){
super.onCreate(sIS);
setContentView(R.layout.that_layout_above, this, false);
LinearLayout btn1 = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.btn1);
((TextView)btn1.findViewById(R.id.btn_tv)).setText("my text");
...
Use a LinearLayout to hold a RelativeLayout for each button/image combination. "Nested" layouts is pretty common to get this type of visual effect.

I have a LinearLayout with multiple TextView and one ImageView. The first TextView has an android:gravity="left" attribute. I need the last element - ImageView to align the image to the right side. If I set the attribute android:gravity="right" or android:layout_gravity="right" it doesn't work. How can I right-align an image?
my xml:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="#+id/sampling_interval_slider"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="#+id/sampling_interval_slider"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/sampling_interval_slider"
android:paddingEnd="#dimen/sampling_interval_labels_layout_padding"
android:paddingStart="#dimen/sampling_interval_labels_layout_padding">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sampling_interval_2_min"
style="#style/default_work_mode_slider_label"
android:layout_weight="0.55"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="#string/sampling_interval_2_min" />
<TextView ... />
<TextView ... />
<TextView ... />
<TextView ... />
<TextView ... />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/sampling_interval_continuous"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.55"
android:src="#drawable/ic_infinity_loop" />
</LinearLayout>
Wrap ImageView inside ViewGroup either LinearLayout or RelativeLayout
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/sampling_interval_continuous"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.55">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/sampling_interval_continuous"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_infinity_loop" />
</LinearLayout>
Adjust the ImageView side according to your needs
I need to adjust my layout with a button as exit on the right corner of the layout and an image button below the center of the layout. It should be accurately there to support the background for multiple screens.
I used relative layout and inside it the image buttons, but I am unable to set the image button 2 on its position. If i do it, the whole layout is vertically expanded.

I don't understand cleary wath yo want but seems a problems that I have
And i change my layout to the FrameLayout
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_frame_layout.htm
Mayby a gravity center for one and gravite up aling right for the buton do the works
Create a new custom view extended from LinearLayour or RelativeLayout and place an image inside of it. If I understand correctly, you want to manipulate image inside of the button.
Once you have your own view with image inside of you can override on click to make it behave like button.
I have android layout with three parts (imageview, textview, imageview) and I want the last part move to right side, now its near the second element.
My code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/menu_button_bg"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingLeft="13dp" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/menuItemIcon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="13dp"
android:layout_marginRight="13dp"
android:layout_marginTop="13dp"
android:contentDescription="#string/menuItemDesc"
android:gravity="center_vertical" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/menuItemTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textSize="16sp" >
</TextView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/menuItemIconRight"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="13dp"
android:layout_marginRight="13dp"
android:layout_marginTop="13dp"
android:layout_weight="0.1"
android:contentDescription="#string/menuItemDesc"
android:gravity="right" />
</LinearLayout>
You can give the TextView the following attributes:
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
This will make the TextView stretch to use up the space between the two ImageViews. The other alternative is to use a RelativeLayout instead of a LinearLayout, but this should work for your needs.
I have a layout for a listview item and it's displayed incorrectly (book descr goes over the last update date). Can you please help me to fix?
If I set
android:layout_above="#+id/lastUpdatedDt"
to the bookDescr item the whole text disappears...

Hope your aware that the child view in the RelativeLayout need to placed below/above any of the sibling views or aligned from the parent.
The problem here is that , lastUpdatedDt is aligned to parent bottom , since the parent RelativeLayout height is set to wrap_content height will be decided based on the child views , so that lastUpdatedDt is placed at the bottom depends on the parent height, which overlap the sibling view.
FIX : Just set the android:layout_below="#+id/bookDescription" for the lastUpdatedDt TextView , so that the lastUpdatedDt will always be placed bottom of the parent and below bookDescription TextView sibling.
In a vertical linear layout, I have 2 textviews, then a button and then a frame layout.
I would like the button to be on the left of the frame layout. I tried putting the button in a relative layout, but how do I tell the frame layout to be on the right?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/content_container_white"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingLeft="30dp"
android:text="#string/t0"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textSize="30dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/editText2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/t1"
android:textColor="#color/black" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buybtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:text="#string/buy_button" />
</RelativeLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|right"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/videothumb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:src="#drawable/button_play_on" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/videothumbimage"
android:layout_width="380dp"
android:layout_height="170dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/demo_thumb_home" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You can do it by simply telling your FrameLayout android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/#+id/buybtn", but your FrameLayout must be inside a RelativeLayout too.
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buybtn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:text="#string/buy_button" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|right"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/#+id/buybtn" >
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/videothumb"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:src="#drawable/button_play_on" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/videothumbimage"
android:layout_width="380dp"
android:layout_height="170dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/demo_thumb_home" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Push FrameLayout into RelativeLayout or just put button and frame together in horizontal LinearLayout - what would be more simple
ps - kepp your code clean, use ctrl+shift+F (if using Eclipse) to auto-arrange it
Put your framelayout within Relativelayout and then set property align parent right.
The question makes no sense. From the documentation:
FrameLayout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display a single item.
Emphesis mine.
If you want your layout to contain more than one item, do not use a frame layout. Use something else.
