In a LinearLayout,there is a TextView and Button ,both of them have a same drawable for background,
and their layout_width and layout_height are both wrap_content,but ,why the button is bigger than textview?
wrap_content means wrap the conent of that component so when the textView is empty it is smaller than the button which has text in it.
Try to make the text in the button shorter and you'll see it will be smaller.
I think you have given text size or text appearance for the button...if you have given these then remove them....you will see the difference....
Just guessing your layout.....Hope this helps you

I created custom dialog and i have textview in it. Text is pretty close to edge of my dialog box, so i wonder if I can set some space between my text and left and right edge of dialog box and how ??
In your custom dialog's xml layout add the following to the root:
android:padding="10dp"
Or whichever value you see fit.
You need to create your TextView with some marginLeft and marginRight attributes.
These will put some space between your TextView and the left, right edges of the screen.
Also consider using paddingLeft, paddingRight attributes to ensure that there is some space between the border of your TextView and the actual text itself.
Look here for more information about how you can set these parameters in a TextView.
I am trying to fit two EditTexts horizontally. What I am trying to accomplish is make the text keep scrolling right without the EditText extending in anyway when there is no more space in that specific EditText. This happens when the EditText is set to match_parent (width), but when I set an actually width or wrap_content, it breaks to the next line. Not the behavior I am hoping for. Any ideas?
If I understood your question correctly, you're saying you want the edit text to be a single line each? If so, have you tried using the xml attribute
android:singleLine
Or you can accomplish the same thing with:
setSingleLine() //called on the edit text
I just tested it out with 2 edit texts in a horizontal linear layout set to 100dp width each and I think it accomplishes the behavior you want.
You can try this:
Set both to fill_parent and layout_weight=1. This will align them side by side.
I need to create an animation in Android. I have 3 TextViews placed in an LinearLayout. All I want to do is the text field must come on to the screen as though it has been pulled out from the left end of the screen. Something similar to a marquee, however the text field must come from left end of screen one character at a time to occupy the left end of screen.
you must textView set textview property in your xml layout android:ellipsize="marquee" and you oncreate() method to set textview like youtextview.setSelected(true); now your textview running with marquee effect perfectly work for me!
another way you can add dynamically textview in coding you can follow this code:
yourtextview.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
yourtextview.setSelected(true);
I've got next problem.
There is ImageView and button panel below it. I want ImageView to be as large as it needs, but if there is no enough space button panel should be present on screen and Imageview should be shrinked. What is the best solution for that?
Have a look to the android:layout_weight attribute.
What does android:layout_weight mean?
In case there is only 2 views in one layout (ie. Imageview and button) you can put both view in linearlayout and give value 1 for imageview weight layout (and doesn't give any value for the button)
I have a RelativeLayout whose layout_height is set to "wrap_content" and inside that I have a TextView whose text is set at runtime. I have set android:layout_height="wrap_content" to my TextView, but it doesn't seems to change the height of the Textview even if the content is larger than 1 line.
It only takes the height of single line and displays 1 line, and all the remaining lines appears to be marquee vertically which is seen when I drag it manually...
so what will be the issue?
change property of textview Input Type:textMultiline
You can use also this
textView1.setText(Html.fromHtml("Titleeee"));
here i found a list of text that fromHtml will convert
