I have a LinearLayout that has a lot of TextViews programatically put in. By a lot, I mean it extends beyond the bottom of my screen. I want to use a ScrollView to allow the user to scroll beyond the screen and see the rest of the TextViews. This is my activity_main.xml currently:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="61dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Try changing android:layout_width="wrap_content" to android:layout_width="match_parent"
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="61dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Change your code as below !
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="61dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
NOTE: To see if it is scrolling or not try placing some views inside linearLayout like buttons otherwise you won't notice the screen scrolling
Also You Can Do Like This.It Works Well.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scrollData"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scrollbars="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearWhere"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

I am trying to make a layout where there are a LinearLayout and inside it I want a FrameLayout and a button.
I want the button to use the bottom of the linearlayout and to use the maximum width and the enough height for the button, using wrap content.
The other component, the FrameLayout I want to use it the remaining part of the screen.
How can I do it?
Here it the layout so far..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:text="#string/Capture" />
</LinearLayout>
Is not showing the button :s
Thanks alot in advance ;)
Better to work out with relative layout with button aligned to parent bottom and your frame layout above it occupying the rest space of the screen.Like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
use the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="capture" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
i am just trying to make these layout, after compare my layout code and your layout code, i find a different code, there is in my code. Did you missing it or just move it away cause it useless from the layout code ?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#id/flayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world">
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
To prevent multiple GetView calling I have set the height of ListView to fill_parent.
How to show other views than the ListView itself?
The following layout is inflated in a ViewPager:
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="15dp" >
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv_viol_infraction"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<include layout="#layout/activity_prontuario_home" />
</LinearLayout>
where the included layout is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="20dp" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/prontuariohome_scrollview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scrollbars="none" >
.
.
.
.
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
EDIT: This solution won't work for view higher than a button
I don't understand what you want to achieve, but if you NEED to have the height as fill_parent for some reason and can't be any other value, you can put the ListView with inside a LinearLayout with the height="0dp" and weight="1". So would be something like this:
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="15dp" >
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv_viol_infraction"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<include layout="#layout/activity_prontuario_home" />
</LinearLayout>
Try to use following code
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
in ListView tag
With android:layout_height="0dip" the view will take the rest of the free place
You said this solution is wont work:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white" android:layout_above="#+id/bt"/>
<Button android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/bt" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
just add it a android:layout_above="#+id/bt" to listview.
I'm sorry for being not clear.
Here is the link of the (probably) main thread asked here in Sof about the issue I was talking about.
After some tries I'm happy to give you the solution of my problem.
Giving another layout above the ListView lets the LV cuts the space not filled by the ListView itself
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="15dp" >
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv_viol_infraction"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<include layout="#layout/activity_prontuario_home" />
</LinearLayout>
I'd like the OK / Cancel buttons to be anchored at the bottom (even when there's more items on the list that can be shown on the screen). Here's what it currently looks like:
The buttons are on the top, not on the bottom.
The layout that contains the buttons:
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:stretchColumns="true"
android:id="#+id/buttons_layout">
<TableRow>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnOK"
android:background="#color/pomegranate"
android:text="OK"
android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnCancel"
android:background="#color/wet_asphalt"
android:text="Cancel"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
The composite layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView android:id="#+id/options_list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</ListView>
<include layout="#id/buttons_layout"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/options_list"/>
</RelativeLayout>
I followed the guidelines I read on http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/relative.html
I tried this answer - https://stackoverflow.com/a/6285438/168719 - it hasn't helped me.
I suspected that it might not work because the list view doesn't "know" how tall it is, so the button layout doesn't know where to place itself, either. But I ruled it out by setting the ListView height to an arbitrary value like 100dp. The buttons are still superimposed over it.
I fiddled with all the layout attributes, but I can't get it to work.
Apart from the solution, I would also like to know why mine doesn't work...
the layout should be something like this :
<?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">
<ListView android:id="#+id/options_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/layout_buttons" >
</ListView>
<include android:id="#+id/layout_buttons"
layout="#id/buttons_layout"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
you can use tab to do it
you can see this tutorial
Android Tab Layout Tutorial
you could try using it this way
<relativelayout1>
<relativelayout2 specify layout below listview with id="list">
<button1>
<button2>
</relativelayout2>
<listview id="list">
</listview>
</relativelayout1>
so this will ensure no matter how long your list is you always get the buttons below your list. so you can have a scrolling list and a static buttons below the list
try this. Put the include tag inside another RelativeLayout, then be sure ListView is above the new RelativeLayout
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/parentLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/buttonsContent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" >
<include
android:id="#+id/buttons"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
layout="#layout/buttons_layout" />
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/options_list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/buttonsContent" >
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
Try like this
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/layout_buttons"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView android:id="#+id/options_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
<include android:id="#+id/layout_buttons"
layout="#id/buttons_layout"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_parent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
i want to put two layouts horizantally, small layout on the right and the big on on the left
i tried like this
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#000000" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="10dip"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#ffffff" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
but still get the small one on the right, what should i do?
A LinearLayout displays its children in the order in which you add them: top to bottom = left to right, for a horizontal view and top to bottom for a vertical view. Change the order of the views in the XML and they will change on the screen.
Sorry to see your comment lately. But try this:
pseudo code(Untested):
<?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="match_parent"
android:weightsum = "10"
>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="7"
android:background="#ffffff"
>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:background="#000000"
>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You don't need to put orientation horizontal as it supports by default. Even there is no problem if you keep it as the other answerer said.
Try this :
<?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="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#000000" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="20dip"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#ffffff" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Reference :
The use of layout_weight with Android layouts
Thanks.
I need to do a layout like the one in the picture, using 3 linearlayout, or relativelayout or whatever similar. The linearlayout in the middle has to adapt the height depending on the free space between the first ll one the top and the third ll at the bottom.
The ll at the bottom has to be fixed there.
How can I do?
Thanks, Mattia
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1">
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
The important thing here is the android:layout_weight="1" in the second layout
Use this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ui_main_header"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:orientation="horizontal"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ui_main_footer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:orientation="horizontal"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ui_main_center"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/ui_main_header"
android:layout_above="#id/ui_main_footer"
android:orientation="vertical"/>
</RelativeLayout>
