Can't create a view in layout - android

i've got a ListView with a custom adapter so i can customize the single row. I would create a view in the layout on the left that has as height all row height, and as width something like 5dp. So it will be like a little "strip" on the left of each row in the listview. I tried in this way
<?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="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#layout/cardwhite"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/first"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/viewlist"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:text="Partenza "
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<View
android:id="#id/viewlist"
android:gravity="left"
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:background="#52BD4F"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/second"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/viewlist"
android:layout_below="#id/first"
android:textSize="15dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
But using android:layout_height="match_parent" or android:layout_height="wrap_content" not works and the strip doesn't appear. If i write android:layout_height="20dp" it goes but of course it's not "dynamic". I don't understand why it desappears.. Any ideas?


Please modify the layout accordingly. I have already done this one, so I'm just pasting it. You just need to make use of android:layout_alignBottom and android:layout_alignTop with proper id inside your View. Here is the screen shot !
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/tv_type"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/tv_dayName"
android:background="#00ff00" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_dayName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

Dont use relative layout just linearLayout
sample:
Beware that I dont have your cardwhite image so it wont be look like that one that you posted but just put the image in the linear layout background and it will look like the same as the one you posted.
<?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:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#layout/cardwhite"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<View
android:id="#id/viewlist"
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#52BD4F" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/first"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:text="Customer 1"
android:textSize="15dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/second"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:fontFamily="sans-serif-light"
android:text="Meeting"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
result:


Here is a small trick. Instead of giving height to the view use a TextView and give Height as MatchParant and set TextSize according to your need and set Background color to your TextView. Hope this helps you!
<TextView
android:id="#+id/col_status"
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="3dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:rotation="180"
android:textColor="#color/main_list_text"
android:textSize="12sp" />

Align checkbox right most side in a listview

I want to allign the checkboxes in a list view to right most part of the screen.
my Layout is shown below
<?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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="9"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/nameTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Name"
android:textSize="30sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/numberTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Number"
android:textSize="25sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right|center"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="right|center" />
But When i run this i get the output as checkboxes right next to the textview
Found mistake.. its in mainactivity.. i have put the the width of listview as wrap content instead of fill parent

Use RelativeLayout for ChechBox Section and Add android:layout_alignParentRight="true" .Try this way ,Let me inform .
Okay,You can set 2 Textview and ChechBox on same row using layout weight (Linear Layout). And set gravity,layout gravity right for ChechBox.

<?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="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/nameTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Name"
android:textSize="30sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/numberTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Number"
android:textSize="25sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/checkBox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Check this one

Textview in Linear Layout Appears on the wrong position

I have the Below Layout. I want the linear layout that holds the Textviews to appear below the PieChart. However it appears on top and on smaller screens the piechart overlays over the text.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uk.co.senab.actionbarpulltorefresh.extras.actionbarsherlock.PullToRefreshLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/catexprpt_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<com.echo.holographlibrary.PieGraph
android:id="#+id/piegraph"
android:paddingTop="20dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/tableRowN"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="15dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/piegraph"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/titleN"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_edges"
android:text="#string/note"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="13sp"
android:typeface="serif" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/notice3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:typeface="serif" />
</LinearLayout>

Can you try with the PieGraph as a child of the LinearLayout.
I'm not sure about ActionBarSherlock's PullToRefreshLayout but the Android implementation SwipeRefreshLayout supports only one direct child view.
Edit:
I'm suggesting something like this as an only child to the Refresh layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.echo.holographlibrary.PieGraph
android:id="#+id/piegraph"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginRight="6dip" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/titleN"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/piegraph"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_edges"
android:text="#string/note"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:textSize="13sp"
android:typeface="serif" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/notice3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/piegraph"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:typeface="serif" />
</RelativeLayout>

Textview center-aligned based on percentage of screenwidth

I thought this will be a common question, but I couldn't find any answers......
Is it possible to center-aligned a (variable length) textview based on a percentage of the screen width?
In my case, I have 2 textview and I want to achieve something like this:
Another example:
The first textview is center-aligend 30% of the screenwidth, width=wrap_content, while the second textview takes up the rest of the space. The first textview's size should NOT be fixed (see picture above)
I do not want to do that programatically, as it will be expensive on my program. If possible it's better be in an xml layout file :)
Right now I can only achieve a "left-aligned" textview using layout_weight of LinearLayout (by putting a 30% dummy on the left), but I want center-alignment.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="3" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="7"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="textview" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="another textview"
android:textColor="#FFFF0000"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

With almost an hour testing this "..." layout, I succeeded with 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="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="100" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="40"
android:background="#android:color/transparent">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/left_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="0dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="first textview"
android:textColor="#FFFF0000" >
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#0000FF" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:background="#00FF00"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="textview"
android:textColor="#FFF" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/left_layout"
android:background="#0000FF"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="textview"
android:textColor="#FFF" />
</RelativeLayout>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="60"
android:background="#FFFF0000"
android:gravity="right"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="another textview"
android:textColor="#FFF" />
</LinearLayout>
Outputs
Finally in your Java, according to the green textview width or content length, you can change the layout_weight for other textviews programmatically.
This should help you
Have a nice day.

dynamic textview display in android

In my application I am showing list of datas from database in a list view.For that listview i have 1 header with 4 text views arranged horizontally..But i want this to be arranged with some space exactly between and also it should fit into every screen. Please help me.Thanks in advance.By the following code it is arranging 1 after the other without space.
My code:
<?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="horizontal"
android:background="#ffffffff">
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Date"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdateasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdes"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Item"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdritemasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrprice"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Price"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrpriceasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrtot"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Total"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrtotasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
/>
</LinearLayout>

You can use layout margin for spacing between view like
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
To fit them on the screen you can use layout_weight.Give every view weight 1 so all will be equal.You already use fill_parent for the width of your LinearLayout.
android:layout_weight="1" for every view

try this use android:layout_weight="1"in all TextView
<?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="horizontal"
android:background="#ffffffff">
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#ff00ff00"
android:text="Date"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdateasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="gffgfg"
android:textColor="#ffff0000"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdes"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textColor="#FF4500"
android:text="Item"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdritemasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="gdgdfgsg"
android:textColor="#ff0000ff"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrprice"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#ff00ff00"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Price"
/>
</LinearLayout>

Instead of wrap_content for widht you should use weight on your textview and weightsum on linear layout:
<?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="horizontal"
android:background="#ffffffff"
android:weightSum="100.0">
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdate"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="100/number of text views"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:text="Date"/>
....
</LinearLayout>
If you do not want to use exact values for your margins you should add some blank text views and set the weight smaller than the one of the ones in which you have text.

Here is the code,
<?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="horizontal"
android:background="#ffffffff">
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdate"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Date"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdateasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrdes"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Item"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdritemasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrprice"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Price"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/hdrpriceasc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

ListView Row Height Too Small

Below is an image of a ListView row that is too short. I've tried too many combinations and yield my frustration to StackOverflow.
How can I fix this and show the whole row? Here is the XML for the item.
<?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="fill_parent"
android:weightSum="1">
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/item_left"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingRight="2dp"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:background="#drawable/item_left"
android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/status_day"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/item_left_text"
android:textSize="25sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:background="#drawable/item_right"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/item_right_text"
android:text="" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/item_right_text"
android:text="" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/options"
android:background="#drawable/item_right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_moreoverflow_normal_holo_light"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Any help is appreciated.

can you use this, set row layout height
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"

I set the height of the ImageButton to match_parent.
This fixed the issue oddly. Sigh.

just set the height of the outer layout, instead of using fill_parent
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:awesome="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height=50dp <!-- or anything which fits -->
