Adding text hint to Android SwipeRefreshLayout - android

How do I add a hint on the top of a listView like "Pull down to refresh" which is contained in a swipeRefreshLayout from android.support.v4.
The pull down to refresh works but I want to add a text whenever the user pulls the listview slightly down.

EDIT 10/21/2014
If you update the support-v4 to the latest version (at least 21.0.0) you can use the built-in loading indicator!
I just came up with a simple, yet effective, solution.
The idea is to add a custom ViewGroup that grows its height when the SwipeRefreshLayout child gets pulled down. In this ViewGroup you will put everything you need for your hint (TextViews, ImageViews, ...).
I chose to extend a RelativeLayout because it makes easier to position your "hint" elements.
1) Create a custom widget as follows:
public class SwipeRefreshHintLayout extends RelativeLayout {
public SwipeRefreshHintLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SwipeRefreshHintLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public SwipeRefreshHintLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public void setSwipeLayoutTarget(final SwipeRefreshLayout swipeRefreshLayout) {
final View swipeTarget = swipeRefreshLayout.getChildAt(0);
if (swipeTarget == null) {
return;
}
swipeTarget.getViewTreeObserver().addOnPreDrawListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnPreDrawListener() {
private Rect oldBounds = new Rect(), newBounds = new Rect();
#Override
public boolean onPreDraw() {
newBounds.set(swipeTarget.getLeft(), swipeRefreshLayout.getTop(), swipeTarget.getRight(), swipeTarget.getTop());
if (!oldBounds.equals(newBounds)){
getLayoutParams().height = newBounds.height();
requestLayout();
oldBounds.set(newBounds);
}
return true;
}
});
}
}
2) In your Fragment or Activity layout use this custom widget.
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<com.example.widget.SwipeRefreshHintLayout
android:id="#+id/swipe_hint"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:text="#string/label_swipe_to_refresh"/>
<!-- Any other view positioned using RelativeLayout rules -->
</com.example.widget.SwipeRefreshHintLayout>
<android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout
android:id="#+id/swipe_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</android.support.v4.widget.SwipeRefreshLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
3) Then, in your Activity onCreate() or in your Fragment onCreateView(), put those lines:
mSwipeRefreshLayout = (SwipeRefreshLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.swipe_container);
mSwipeRefreshHintLayout = (SwipeRefreshHintLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.swipe_hint);
mSwipeRefreshHintLayout.setSwipeLayoutTarget(mSwipeRefreshLayout);
Done!

Reuse ViewGroup

I use this kind of ViewGroup:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_width="16dp"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:src="#drawable/icon1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/text1"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/data"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</LinearLayout>
I must use 2 such layouts In my fragment, but with different icon and title. Is there some way to implement it without copy/paste and RecyclerView?
There are several ways to deal with it.
1. Use the include tag.
1.1. Move LinearLayout to a separate file.
1.2 Add layout using the include tag two times with different ids:
<LinearLayout ...>
<include layout="#layout/your_layout" android:id="#+id/first" />
<include layout="#layout/your_layout" android:id="#+id/second" />
</LinearLayout>
1.3 Set content programmatically:
View first = findViewById(R.id.first);
first.findViewById(R.id.date).setText("05/05/2020");
View second = findViewById(R.id.second);
second.findViewById(R.id.date).setText("04/04/2020");
2. Implement a custom view.
There are two ways also. The first is to inflate layout inside FrameLayout. The second is to extend LinearLayout and add content programmatically. I'll show you the first one.
public class YourCustomView extends FrameLayout {
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
inflate(context, R.layout.your_custom_view_layout, this);
}
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public MyView(Context context) {
this(context, null);
}
public void setContent(int iconRes, int titleRes, String data) {
findViewById(R.id.icon).setDrawableRes(iconRes);
findViewById(R.id.title).setDrawableRes(titleRes);
findViewById(R.id.data).setText(data);
}
}
3. Just copy-paste it :)
As I see icon and title are static and only data content changes, so it is not worth it to reuse such a simple layout, IMO.

Why is Android Studio designer displaying my custom view nested inside itself, while it isn't

I've got a custom view for my app named AvatarView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.ulouder.views.AdvancedRelativeLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="CP"
android:id="#+id/initialsView"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/avatarView"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/avatarView"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/avatarView"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/avatarView"
android:background="#drawable/avatar_background"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:gravity="center"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="8sp" />
<com.makeramen.roundedimageview.RoundedImageView
app:riv_corner_radius="20dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/avatarView"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_marginTop="4dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="4dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="4dp"
app:riv_border_color="#color/lightGray"
app:riv_border_width="0.2dp" />
</com.uLouder.views.AdvancedRelativeLayout>
AdvancedRelativeLayout is just a superclass of RelativeLayout with a small fix, nothing special there. Then, I've created a view that uses my custom view:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<com.ulouder.views.AvatarView
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
Nothing fancy either. But in the designer view of the second layout XML, I'm getting this:
The editor displays my view hierarchy like it has a nested instance of itself, while clearly there isn't. If I delete either one, they both get deleted. If I declare attributes on one of them, other also gets it. They are clearly the same instance. The only exception is setting an ID. Then the problem disappears, and only single instance is displayed as expected.
I've rebuilt the project, restarted Android Studio, but it's still the same. What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: Nope, now, after editing id, the problem still continues again.
UPDATE 2: It's not just a layout so I can't use <include> tag. It's a custom view which has custom logic inside.
UPDATE 3: Here is my custom view's (relevant) code:
public class AvatarView extends FrameLayout {
public AvatarView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
TextView initialsView;
RoundedImageView imageView;
public AvatarView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
void init(){
inflate(getContext(), R.layout.view_avatar, this);
initialsView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.innerInitialsView);
imageView = (RoundedImageView) findViewById(R.id.innerImageView);
}
#SuppressWarnings("SuspiciousNameCombination")
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec); //always square
imageView.setCornerRadius(widthMeasureSpec / 2f);
initialsView.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, widthMeasureSpec * 30f);
}
}
UPDATE 4: It appears that this happens wherever I put my custom AvatarView class, not just at one place.
I did not find any reason to inflate the same view inside your class constructor method after checking the custom views documentation. Try to remove the inflate inside your init method.
...
public AvatarView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
...
public AvatarView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
void init(){
// inflate(getContext(), R.layout.view_avatar, this);
initialsView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.innerInitialsView);
imageView = (RoundedImageView) findViewById(R.id.innerImageView);
}
...

android: Custom view not showing

I'm having trouble creating a custom view.
If my understanding is correct, i wish for a compound view where ui elements like Switch can be incorporated within a custom view. An example of intention of this will be a modal view that displays a series of switches with a save & back button with relative actions, in context to an in-app form purpose.
In other examples/questions people have mentioned this.addView(View childView) however when i try to use this function i get an unresolved symbol error from android studio. When executed, the app displays blank.
public class NewView extends View {
private Switch switchOne;
private Switch switchTwo;
public NewView(Context context){
super(context);
init(null, 0);
}
public NewView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs){
super(context);
init(attrs, 0);
}
public NewView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle){
super(context);
init(attrs, defStyle);
}
private void init(AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
//LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(R.layout.customview, (ViewGroup) this.getParent(), true); //First attempted this approach
((Activity) getContext()).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.customview, (ViewGroup) this.getParent()); //then attempted this approach
this.switchOne = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.firstSwitch);
this.switchTwo = (Switch) findViewById(R.id.secondSwitch);
}
#Override
public void onDraw(Canvas canvas){
super.onDraw(canvas);
}
}

/>
</LinearLayout>
Extend from ViewGroup, override onLayout and provide an implementation. Alternatively, since you seem to just want the switches laid out vertically, just extend from LinearLayout to reuse its layout rules and set the orientation for your NewView in the activity_main.xml, or in code if you want to override the xml setting and enforce the vertical layout.
Replace the root LinearLayout in customview.xml with a merge.
When inflating, use this and not this.getParent() as the second parameter

Button not clickable in custom LinearLayout

I have a custom view that contain a framelayout. This framelayout contain two views (LinearLayout) that can be swipe. If I swipe the first one, the second one appears and vice versa. One of those views has a button but I don't know why, this button is like disable. I cannot click on it and the onClick method has no effect.
Here the structure of the layout xml inflated in the custom view :
<FrameLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/frontview"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/backview">
<Button
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/ButtonUpdate"
android:text="#string/bUpdate"
android:padding="5dp"
android:clickable="true"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
Here the code in my custom view :
public class mView extends LinearLayout {
ImageView icon;
TextView current_data;
TextView previous_data;
TextView time ;
Button bUpdate;
EditText TextUpdate;
public mView(Context context) {
super(context);
init(context);
}
public mView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context,attrs);
init(context);
}
public mView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init(context);
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
// nothing
}
}
public void init(Context pContext) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) pContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View ll = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_data, this, true);
/** We initialize the elements of our UI **/
/**
* First View
*/
icon= (ImageView) ll.findViewById(R.id.ic_icon);
current_data = ll.(TextView) findViewById(R.id.current_data);
previous_data = ll.(TextView) findViewById(R.id.previous_data);
time = (TextView) ll.findViewById(R.id.time);
/**
* Second View
*/
bUpdate = (Button) ll.findViewById(R.id.ButtonUpdate);
TextUpdate= (EditText) ll.findViewById(R.id.TextUpdate);
bUpdate.setOnClickListener(new bUpdateClickListener());
}
private class bUpdateClickListener implements OnClickListener {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// When the button is clicked, the front view re-appears and the backview disappears
frontview
.animate()
.translationX(0);
backview
.animate()
.translationX(-backview.getMeasuredWidth());
}
}
The swipe is correctly handle with onInterceptTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) and onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev).
Here the main.xml used in MyActivity :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ffffff">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#f6f6f6">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/infoimc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:text="#string/app_name"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="16dp"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/divider_infoimc"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dip"
android:layout_marginRight="18dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"
android:background="#99CC00"/>
<com.example.essai.CustomGraph
android:id="#+id/CustomGraph"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:visibility="visible"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:layout_gravity="left|center_vertical">
<com.example.essai.mView
android:id="#+id/CustomView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And MyActivity.class :
public class MyActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
I don't know if the button must be handle also in the Activity ?
Thanks for your help !
The root cause
According to API:
FrameLayout is designed to block out an area on the screen to display
a single item.
If there is more items, like in your case, then "unexpected" things will happen:
Child views are drawn in a stack, with the most recently added child
on top.
This means, your frontview is on top of your backview and since the frontview doesn't have android:clickable="true" the click events (on button) are not delegated below.
Solution 1
Reorder the child-layout gravity programmatically.
You can, however, add multiple children to a FrameLayout and control
their position within the FrameLayout by assigning gravity to each
child, using the android:layout_gravity attribute.
Just switch the android:layout_gravity="top" and android:layout_gravity="bottom" whenever you are sliding them.
Solution 2
Control the visibility of the child-layouts programmatically.
When the backview should be displayed, set the visibility of the frontview to View.GONE. And set it to View.VISIBLE in the reversed case.
Solution 3
Change FrameLayout to a different layout type.
Could require more "fiddling" with layout xmls...
See what you're familliar with the most and choose the solution accordingly :)

Android ViewPager dimension

Does the ViewPager have to be the only object present inside the activity layout?
I'm trying to implement something like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/reader_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/page_viewer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<Gallery
android:id="#+id/miniatures_gallery"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" /></LinearLayout>
Where should I have a big pager scrolling in the top (and I have it) and a smaller gallery scrolling under that.
This shows me only the pager and not the gallery.
Any suggestion?
The ViewPager does not support wrap_content as it (usually) never have all its children loaded at the same time, and can therefore not get an appropriate size (the option would be to have a pager that changes size every time you have switched page).
You can however set a precise dimension (e.g. 150dp) and match_parent works as well.
You can also modify the dimensions dynamically from your code by changing the height-attribute in its LayoutParams.
Assign layout weight to view pager as 1 & height = 0dp instead of wrap_content
<android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
android:id="#+id/page_viewer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
I solved the problem with a couple of hacks. Here is what it involves:
First, I needed a layout that would ignore ViewPager's height limit. Used it as a parent layout for ViewPager items.
public class TallLinearLayout extends LinearLayout {
public TallLinearLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public TallLinearLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public TallLinearLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
}
}
I then wrote the logic for resizing ViewPager:
private class ViewPagerContentWrapper implements OnGlobalLayoutListener {
private ViewPager mViewPager;
public ViewPagerContentWrapper(ViewPager viewPager) {
mViewPager = viewPager;
}
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
int position = mViewPager.getCurrentItem();
check(position);
check(position + 1);
}
private void check(int position) {
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) mViewPager.getChildAt(position);
View v = vg == null ? null : vg.getChildAt(0);
if (v != null) {
int height = v.getHeight();
if (height > mViewPager.getHeight()) {
resize(height);
}
}
}
private void resize(int height) {
mViewPager.setLayoutParams(
new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
height
)
);
}
}
Which I registered as global layout listener:
viewPager.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewPagerContentWrapper(viewPager));
