In the following UI, I hope the two buttons both btnAddress and btnDelete take minimum space,
and editnumber take max space, how can I do? Need I use RelativeLayout layout? Thanks!
BTW, the following code, the btnDelete button only display a part.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="left"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editnumber"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:phoneNumber="true"
android:ems="10" >
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnAddress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/BtnAddressMin" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnDelete"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/BtnDeleteMin" />
</LinearLayout>
This should do it. Giving editnumber a weight of 1. Leve the rest as it is.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:gravity="left"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editnumber"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:phoneNumber="true"
android:ems="10" >
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnAddress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/BtnAddressMin" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnDelete"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/BtnDeleteMin" />
</LinearLayout>
Instead of fixing the length of EditText with ems, use layout_weight to fill the remaining space.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editnumber"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:phoneNumber="true" />
Edit: I'm not sure if android:phoneNumber="true" is still recommended or not, but I would change it to android:inputType="phone" instead.
Give the android:layout_weight="1 to edit text .No need to change it to relative layout
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editnumber"
android:layout_width="0dp"//no need to specifing the width if parent layout is horizontal
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:phoneNumber="true"
android:layout_weight="1";>
</EditText>
Doing this Edittext will take maximum space and remaing space will be left for other View.Other then this no need to change anything in your xml

I am using the EditText with drawableLeft property and set ImageView in Right side for ClearText. My Question is how to put gap between text and Imageview in EditText?
Please help me.
Actually I have Like this,My Screenshot is,
Actually I want to Like this,
Create Gap Between Text and ImageView. How it is Possible?.

Okay i got your Question now...you have to use Search view instead of edittext
Here is link:- Check it out
Only this is a solution of your problem
i am using LinearLayout for this
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/chatText"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:padding="8dp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/buttonSend"
android:layout_width="50sp"
android:layout_height="50sp"
android:padding="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
Had the same problem a while ago fixed it with drawablePadding
Hello
Use Linear layout with weight instead of Relative as m showing below:-
<LinearLayout
width
hight
orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edtSearch"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/search"
android:drawablePadding="10dip"
android:hint="Find"
android:imeOptions="actionNext"
android:inputType="text"
android:singleLine="true" >
</EditText>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgSearchClear"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dip"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/clear" />
</LinearLayout>
if you found any issue regarding this please let me know..i love to help you
or in relative layou you can use drawable padding
Spartacus thanks :)
I can try to implement your code but It Like this,
and I want to Like this,
Set the right padding of EditText to the width of Clear button. Set all the dimension in dimen folder so that it will be compatible with all device sizes.
I want to present in my layout an EditText and a Button side by side with a small space (margin) between them. I don't want to set a fixed size (I think that's a bad habit).
How to do that?
My Try:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_search"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Search" />
</RelativeLayout>
You're using a RelativeLayout; however, you cannot created a flexible design within that type of ViewGroup. You must use a LinearLayout.
We use android:layout_weight="1" along with the android:layout_width="0dp" to create a flexible control. Adjust the weight number for different size ratios.
Afterwards, we use android:layout_margin on both controls so the resulting weighted size of each is equal.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_search"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Search"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp" />
</LinearLayout>
You can use Linear layout with horizontal orientation and add an EditText and Button in the following way
<LinearLayout
orientation="horizontal"
layoutwidth="match_parent"
layoutheight="wrap_content">
<EditText
layoutwidth="0dp"
layoutheight="wrap"
layout_weight=".8"/>
<Button
layoutwidth="0dp"
layoutheight="wrap"
layout_weight=".2"/>
</LinearLayout>
Hope this will solve your problem. Make sure to change the weights according to your needs.
Thanks
Use Linear layout to show both side by side and use 'match_parent' and 'wrap_content' appropriately.
Here's a piece of xml code
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/go"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Go!!" />
</LinearLayout>
I want to put in the same row a TextView, and Edittext and a button but I am having the problem that the button is not aligned properly to left and in small screens edittext fills entire with.
Small screen:
Big Screen:
My codification is as follows:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/address_textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/address_textview"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/address_edittext"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/address_textview_hint"
android:imeActionLabel="#string/search_button"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textCapWords"
android:nextFocusDown="#id/address_edittext"
android:nextFocusUp="#id/address_edittext"
android:singleLine="true" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="right" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_button"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:text="Go" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Apply a weight to your EditText so it will take up as much room as it can while letting the other two elements do the normal wrap_content. To do this, remove the relative layout container and then change the EditText width to "0dp" and give it a layout_weight of "1" as follows:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/address_textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/address_textview"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/address_edittext"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/address_textview_hint"
android:imeActionLabel="#string/search_button"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textCapWords"
android:nextFocusDown="#id/address_edittext"
android:nextFocusUp="#id/address_edittext"
android:singleLine="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_button"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:text="Go" />
</LinearLayout>
First, many people will tell you that hint is Android's solution for not needing the label. I don't care if you use the label or not but it does save you space, especially on smaller screens. That was just an FYI.
Now, your RelativeLayout that only has a Button appears to be useless...I would remove that. You can use layout_weight so that each View takes up the appropriate amount of space. Make sure to make the layout_width="0dp". So it may look something like
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/address_textview"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/address_textview"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/address_edittext"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:hint="#string/address_textview_hint"
android:imeActionLabel="#string/search_button"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
android:inputType="textCapWords"
android:nextFocusDown="#id/address_edittext"
android:nextFocusUp="#id/address_edittext"
android:singleLine="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/go_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Go" />
</LinearLayout>
Here I used 2,3,1 for the weights of your TextView, EditText, and Button respectively. You may need to change those to get exactly what you want but that should give you a start.
Layout weigth is ideal for designing layouts that adjust to screen size. However, make sure to set layout_width to 0dp, or it won't work properly.
Use like this:
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
I'm going to assume you mean the button is not properly aligned to the right.
It's because your RelativeLayout's android:width="wrap_content", but it should be android:width="match_parent".
Also, you'd be better off setting your EditText's android:width="0dp" and adding android:weight="1" so that it expands/contracts between screen sizes.
I have a RelativeLayout whose width/height is set to wrap_content. However, the button in the bottom right is truncated on its lower side.
Changing the RelativeLayout's paddingBottom doesn't help, neither does adding a marginBottom to the button.
Any ideas?
Here's my code:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/sign_up_phase_enteraddress"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:background="#ff6aa639"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sign_up_signuphere"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="29dp"
android:text="#string/sign_up_signuphere"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sign_up_emaillabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/sign_up_signuphere"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/sign_up_signuphere"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/sign_up_email"
android:text="#string/sign_up_emailaddress"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/sign_up_email"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="46dp"
android:layout_below="#id/sign_up_signuphere"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/sign_up_emaillabel"
android:ems="10"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
<Button
android:id="#+id/sign_up_signup"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/sign_up_haveaccount"
android:layout_alignRight="#id/sign_up_email"
android:layout_below="#id/sign_up_email"
android:text="#string/sign_up_signup" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sign_up_haveaccount"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/sign_up_emaillabel"
android:layout_marginTop="27dp"
android:layout_below="#id/sign_up_email"
android:text="#string/sign_up_haveaccount"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
</RelativeLayout>
...and this is what it looks like in the emulator:
Any thoughts on how I can get the bottom of my button to show?
TIA!
My fast idea is to set button bottom border to height of text on the left by using xml code
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/sign_up_haveaccount"
because you've setted layout_below option already. However your xml code is quite not proper :) I will try write here better xml code for you, later.
Well, I found your problem. And I was searching for solution.
I setted for textview new padding bottom because button was aligned to this textview basline. I know that it could be a nice hack but I coudln't find andy good way to handle it :)
According to your layout I changed behaviour for edittext to make it stretchable. Also I grouped all elements into 3 groups. Each one per row to make it more readable.
Also do not forget that first 2 lines about xmls.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/sign_up_phase_enteraddress"

android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#ff6aa639"
android:paddingBottom="10dp"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp" >
<!-- 1 row -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/row1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="29dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sign_up_signuphere"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/sign_up_signuphere"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</RelativeLayout>
<!-- 2 row -->
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/row2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/row1" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sign_up_emaillabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/sign_up_email"
android:text="#string/sign_up_emailaddress"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/sign_up_email"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/sign_up_emaillabel"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress" >
<requestFocus />

</RelativeLayout>
<!-- 3 row -->

android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/sign_up_haveaccount"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="#string/sign_up_signup" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
This is happening because of your padding , you have given 10 dp padding in bottom and your button view doesn't have enough space.Remove padding and check it .
I'm trying to create a kind of "Buttoned Edit" control, when EditText and Button controls are placed in the same line. I used a simple LinearLayout:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextFileName"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Database file name"
android:inputType="textUri" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonFileSelect"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minWidth="46dip"
android:text="..." />
</LinearLayout>
The problem is edit box and button are not aligned on the same "topline":
A closer look:
On a different emulators I'm getting a different spacing.
How to make both EditText and Button to be aligned on a topline always?
SOLUTION (thanks to #steevoo and #Mohamed_AbdAllah):
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonFileSelect"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minWidth="46dip"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="..." />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editTextFileName"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/buttonFileSelect"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/buttonFileSelect"
android:hint="Database file name"
android:inputType="textUri" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try using a RelativeLayout instead and use android:layout_alignTop to align the tops of the Button and the EditText. Also, you can give them the same fixed height (46dip) but this can cause text to be clipped in the EditText
