Hey guys I am trying to get multiple layouts previews for a single app in the Graphical view in eclipse for android. like how our layour would look on different screen sizes.
here is how it looks
Hope someone will help me out with this...
Also I have searched here before posting but didnt get it so dont down rate please.
Thanks
In the image below, click where the arrow is pointing to and select "Preview All Screen Sizes"
I guess that's a little hard to see but its the little page icon right next to "Pallete" on the top-left. Its the layout configuration drop-down.
you can add more previews and show all of the previews, as shown on the google IO video:

Is there a quick and easy way to see how my application will look on different screen sizes and shapes? Currently, I'm going into the AVD manager, editing my device definition, and then launching a fresh emulator. It takes maybe ten minutes for each one.
They layout is defined entirely from resource files. I don't actually need to execute the app. Is there a faster way to do this?
Edit: I should add: there are some custom widgets in the app.
While looking at a layout open the "Design" tab or open the "Preview" tab on the side. On the top of the window you will see a list where you can change the layout and orientation.
May not solve your entire issue, but it's a good to know.
If you want to have a preview of a static page (not rendered at runtime, like recyclerview), you could use android studio to do that.
I'm working from the sample code given here: https://github.com/playgameservices/a… but when I try to edit the views, I can only see the login screen "LoginLayout" in the component tree. All the other views: maths_layout, gameplay_layout, I cannot see. Please see my screenshot to see what I mean.
How can I see the other screens in the editor and modify them?
Thanks!
Maybe the other layouts are set as invisible/gone. Try to post the url again please, its not correct in original question.
I saw this when I first started and opened my emulator and wanted to include something like in my application.
Does anyone know how you implement this tutorial? Do you basically have a layout file with a TextView, ImageView, and a Button? And inflate it with some kind of dialog fragment? Is there a way to account for the transparency as well?
I experimented with a dialog fragment but mine looks nothing like the screenshot above. (no transparency, position at center, etc...)
I have never used it so I can not give you a code example. However it is documented in the Help Section of the developer documentation.
This library can help you too.
Everytime I follow a tutorial book or you tube video, I have also used the cheat help in eclipse. My programming always comes out with errors. here is one example why does all the tutorials main activity comes out showing linear layout and my projects default is relative layout. So how do I change the default to linear when creating new project.
I know I can open a new layout xml but all the tutorials opens a new project in linear.
I am a massive fan of android and I really want to make some apps, but all the tutorials never seem to correspond with the results I get and they all make it look so easy.
go to youre layout.xml
make sure to be in the graphical layout (check bottom bar)
top-right in 'outline' right-click on the relative layout
choose 'change layout'
choose youre desired layout, (linearlayout(vertical) probably in ur case)
I found it after digging a lot in Android Studio After visiting JetBrains and Intelij documentation and help sections i found nothing much helpful but i found way on my own, I had answered it here, With all explanation and screenshots.
I'm trying to simulate the iOS4 folder appearance in Android. I have a Button in my layout, and when pressed I would like to expand a View with some other buttons or images and the rest of the screen pushed down.
Here's an example video showing how the iOS 4 folders works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ZwC8TGwXo (0:44)
Is there any library or sample code on anything similar to this? Or maybe some indications on how to achieve this?
Greetings
I found something that looks really similar to the iOS folders animation. It's a custom Animation, here are the details: http://udinic.wordpress.com/2011/09/03/expanding-listview-items/
