In Xamarin, how can I create and position a container over a Layout?
Here is my Layout XML code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/mapWithOverlay"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
How can I create a container that has a TextView and a Button and then position this container where I want on top of the FrameLayout?
Thanks in advance
Use Relative Layout, you can arrange the elements where ever you want.
Check here Relative Layout
Here you go:
<?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"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dip" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
</LinearLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/mapWithOverlay"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/thumbnail" />
</RelativeLayout>

<?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.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="#+id/groups_of_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="100"
android:text="There are not place for me" />
</LinearLayout>
In the code above ViewPager occupies all of the place. How to make it occupy as much space as much as a content requires. As layout's "wrap_content" property.
UPD:
ViewPager is filled with:
<?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">
<TextView android:id="#+id/group_name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/group_active"
/>
</LinearLayout>
I want to ViewPager have size as musch as TextView in code above. How to make it?
If you are going to use android:layout_weight you have to set the android:layout_height to 0dip like in this example.
<?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.support.v4.view.ViewPager android:id="#+id/groups_of_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="3"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Must there be place for me" />
</LinearLayout>
I want to create, what seems to be a simple layout, but I am having a few problems with it.
The layout consists of a header, body which is a webview, and a footer banner on bottom as seen on the attached sketch.
I need the webview to take all the remaining space between the header and footer.
I have tried this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/banner"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/banner" />
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/bck"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="4">
<com.mobclix.android.sdk.MobclixMMABannerXLAdView
android:id="#+id/banner_adview"
android:layout_width="320dip"
android:layout_height="50dip"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Put all of them inside a RelativeLayout and in the webview use layout_below="#id/header_banner" and layout_above="#+id/footer_banner"
This will work for you:
<?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:id="#+id/ddd"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/banner1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:src="#drawable/atm" />
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/webview1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/banner2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:src="#drawable/atm" />
</LinearLayout>
How can i set Tab Layout in Bottom?
I try this property
android:gravity="bottom"
android:layout_marginBottom="-3dp"
but not any effect and give error.
Place Tab Widget to below FrameLayout like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/tabHost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout android:id="#android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" >
</FrameLayout>
<TabWidget android:id="#android:id/tabs"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0" />
</LinearLayout>
</TabHost>
You have a best android Tab Layout to set that in Layout Bottom. Just use this code -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="55dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/tab_indicator"
android:padding="5dp">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/icon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
/>
<TextView android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
style="?android:attr/tabWidgetStyle"
/>
And, see this answer. Hope this helps you.
In my layout this is not moving the button to the right of the screen.
What am I missing?
The button is within a linear layout.
But has its own relative layout.
Try this, it works for me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true">
<Button
android:text="Button"
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Something like this for main.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="right" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="Right Button"
</Button>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Cheers.
Set the RelativeLayout android:width to "fill_parent", for the LinearLayout set the android:layout_gravity property to "right"
I need somehow to do this :
I tried playing with Relative Layout, I placed top imageview and bottom button but how do I place my gridview in the center? BUT BETWEEN top image and bottom button?
Have the top image and the bottom button use wrap_content for height, and the GridView use 0dip for height along with a weight of 1. This will cause the top and bottom elements to measure first, and the GridView will get all remaining space in the middle.
<?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">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/top_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<GridView android:id="#+id/grid"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button android:id="#+id/bottom_button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
adamp's answer didn't work for me. This is what I found to work perfectly:
<?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" >
<ImageView android:id="#+id/top_image"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<Button android:id="#+id/bottom_button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container_layout"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/bottom_button"
android:layout_below="#id/top_image"
android:gravity="center" >
<GridView android:id="#+id/grid"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
I've used this with other LinearLayouts in place of the GridView, with android:gravity="center" set on the innermost layout as well to make all of its text views and images centered horizontally as well as vertically.
use something like this
<?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">
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/table">
<TableRow
android:weightSum="100">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/image1"
android:src="#drawable/icon"
android:visibility="visible"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="50" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:weightSum="100">
<GridView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content">
</GridView>
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:weightSum="100">
<Button android:id="#+id/btn1"
android:visibility="visible"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="50" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
</LinearLayout>
You could 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="vertical">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/top_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<GridView android:id="#+id/grid1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Add these to your Grid View:
android:layout_above="#id/bottom_button"
android:layout_below="#id/top_image"
