I'm trying to put three items in horizontal align using this code
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:src="#drawable/address"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text="#string/lbl_address"/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:id="#+id/txtAddress" />
</LinearLayout>
The problem is gravity never worked, the ImageView always starts from the left and other items follows in the same order.
I have tried to reverse item orders in the code which will work on none RTL languages, but my application targets both, so it shows wrong on RTL supported devices.
Also I have tried RelativeLayout but items come over each other.
Note: All languages should start from right to left, this is my desired behavior
Add this attribute to your root LinearLayout tag:
android:layoutDirection="rtl"
This will make your view lay out as though the user had chosen a right-to-left language, regardless of what language they've actually chosen.
Try to use this code in AndroidManifest.xml
android:supportsRtl="true"
For support languages that start from right in app.
Because you use android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_weight="1" in your code .The TextView will use the rest of space .So the left image will on the left .So you can remove android:layout_weight="1" and change the width of TextView .
You can change
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:id="#+id/txtAddress" />
to
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:id="#+id/txtAddress" />
Note
If you want to change the location of the LinearLayout's item .You can use android:gravity="right" .
If you want to change the location of the LinearLayout ,you can use android:layout_gravity="right" .
And you code is android:layout_width="match_parent" , so the android:layout_gravity="right" has no effect .
And you can use android:layoutDirection="rtl" in your LinearLayout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layoutDirection="rtl"

I started to develop for Android few days ago and I got stuck trying to use Radio Group. In my code for some reason all of the radio buttons can be selected together.
Any suggestion?
xml:
<RadioGroup
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/rG">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="89dp"
android:layout_below="#id/title"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true">
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="95"
android:layout_marginLeft="75sp"
android:layout_marginTop="20sp"
android:id="#+id/rb95"
android:layout_gravity="left|top"
android:checked="true"/>
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="98"
android:id="#+id/rb98"
android:layout_gravity="right|top"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/rb95"
android:layout_alignLeft="#+id/rbs"
android:layout_alignStart="#+id/rbs"/>
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="96"
android:id="#+id/rb96"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:layout_below="#id/rb95"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/rb95"
android:layout_alignStart="#id/rb95"/>
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="soler"
android:id="#+id/rbs"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginRight="75dp"
android:layout_alignTop="#id/rb96"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RadioGroup>
Pull the RadioButtons out of the RelativeLayout (get completely rid of it: it's not only misplaced, but also useless) and they will work as expected.
If you really need the RelativeLayout as a container for the RadioGroup, then swap the RelativeLayout and RadioGroup (RelativeLayout on the outside)
I think your problem is that you have a relativeLayout inside your RadioGroup.
Here is the Google Developer page on radio buttons.
I'm trying to set my TextView to the left of an ImageButton, but I can't seems to find this option.
I was expecting to use something like android:layout_alignLeft, but this option is missing.
I've tried to google the issue, but couldn't find any relative results.
Without it my TextView overlaps the ImageButton and I want to avoid it.
UPDATE
The full xml code is too complex, but here is the important part of it:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#color/white"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/frameLayoutBalanceClosed">
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/button_edit_nickname"
android:id="#+id/card_closed_control_editNickname" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/card_closed_description_nickname"
android:layout_margin="8dp" android:layout_gravity="left"/>
</FrameLayout>
I think what you need is a RelativeLayout. You can specify your TextView to the left of your ImageView with it's specifications. Your code would look something like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/imagebutton1" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/imagebutton1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
The reason FrameLayout isn't working is because it's purpose is to overlay items on top of each other, which wouldn't work at all!
If that isn't what you're looking for, you could also use a TableLayout in which items are arranged in columns.
So I have the following radiobuttons. I want to have them display like this:
However this occurs:
How I can get it to display like above? I can move in the GUI editor in Eclipse it but it removes the RadioButton from the RadioGroup!Within the group, it ignores all other layout parameters.
<RadioGroup
android:id="#+id/radioGroup1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/timeBar"
android:layout_marginTop="43dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/privRadio0"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Everyone" />
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/privRadio1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:checked="true"
android:text="FriendOfFriends" />
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/privRadio2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Friends" />
</RadioGroup>
You can simply copy this class:
https://github.com/jevonbeck/AbstractMachine/blob/jevon_dev/app/src/main/java/org/ricts/abstractmachine/ui/utils/MultiLineRadioGroup.java
into an appropriate package in your project and instantiate in XML like so:
<view
class="mypackage.packagepath.MultiLineRadioGroup"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"/>
What you are asking for is a FlowLayout. Such a layout has the benefit of only wrapping when it's needed, as opposed to 0gravity's more "static" solution.
When I run layout on a specific XML file, I get this:
This tag and its children can be replaced by one <TextView/>
and a compound drawable
What change should be done for the following xml code:
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/name_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#drawable/grouplist_single_left_grey_area" >
<ImageView android:id="#+id/photo_image"
android:layout_width="#dimen/thumbnail_width"
android:layout_height="#dimen/thumbnail_height"
android:paddingBottom="5dip"
android:paddingTop="5dip"
android:paddingRight="5dip"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:src="#*android:drawable/nopicture_thumbnail"
android:background="#drawable/photo_highlight" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/name"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
This is how it looks like on the screen:
The camera icon is the default. Clicking on that will give the user an option to choose another image.
To expand on Romain Guy's answer, here is an example.
Before:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:padding="5dp" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="My Compound Button" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/my_drawable" />
</LinearLayout>
After:
<TextView
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Compound Button"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/my_drawable" android:padding="5dp" />
Merge the TextView and the ImageView into one, by using TextView's setCompoundDrawable*() methods, or using android:drawableLeft.
Thought I would try to get some extra puntos for this as well: you can add padding between the image and the text using android:drawablePadding. https://stackoverflow.com/a/6671544/1224741
Add tools:ignore="UseCompoundDrawables" to <LinearLayout>.
Sometimes it is possible to replace ImageView (or multiple) and TextView with one TextView with compound drawable(s). There are NOT many parameters which can be applied to compound drawable using native API and this TextViewRichDrawable library, but if you can manage one TextView instead of using LinearLayout you should definitely use it.
The list of attributes and parameters which can be applied to compound drawables:
Size: (YES, really):
<com.tolstykh.textviewrichdrawable.TextViewRichDrawable
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some text"
app:compoundDrawableHeight="24dp"
app:compoundDrawableWidth="24dp"/>
Even set vector resource as drawable:
<com.tolstykh.textviewrichdrawable.TextViewRichDrawable
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some text"
app:drawableTopVector="#drawable/some_vector_drawble"
app:drawableEndVector="#drawable/another_vector_drawable" />
Drawable's Padding using native API android:drawablePadding -> link
Here is an example:
A LinearLayout which contains an ImageView and a TextView can
be more efficiently handled as a compound drawable (a single
TextView, using the drawableTop, drawableLeft, drawableRight
and/or drawableBottom attributes to draw one or more images
adjacent to the text).
If the two widgets are offset from each other with margins, this
can be replaced with a drawablePadding attribute.
There's a lint quickfix to perform this conversion in the Eclipse
plugin.
From: Android Official API docs!
When I followed the code above, text inside the TextView doesn't set properly.
You need to set its gravity to center|start to achieve what shown in the asked question.
The textview looks like this:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/export_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/up_arrow"
android:drawableStart="#drawable/up_arrow"
android:gravity="center|start"
android:text="....."
android:textSize="#dimen/font_size15" >
</TextView>
the latest correct way at time of writing to add a compound drawable is using app:drawableStartCompat rather than android:drawableLeft.
<TextView
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Compound Button"
android:drawablePadding="5dp"
app:drawableStartCompat="#drawable/my_drawable" />
You can refer this code for example
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:text="#string/myName"
android:textAlignment="center"
android:textColor="#color/myColor"
app:drawableTopCompat="#drawable/image_name" />
If you don't want to change the ImageView and TextView, you can change the version in the AndroidManifest.xml as:
<uses-sdk`
android:minSdkVersion="8"
android:targetSdkVersion="18"
/>
If your version is android:targetSdkVersion="17" change it s "18".
Hope this will rectify. I did it and got it right
I don't know if this is an efficient solution. But using <androidx.appcompat.widget.LinearLayoutCompat> to wrap the imageView and TextView instead of <LinearLayout> will fix this error. Also by using LinearLayoutCompat, you will be able to adjust the image's width and height which you can't when using a drawableRight, drawableLeft, drawableTop or drawableBottom inside a TextView.
This warning is rather misleading. You can use a compound drawable using a TextView as others have suggested but it doesn't necessarily give you the desired result. You have very littler control over how you want your button to look like using a compound drawable, so it is better to just add tools:ignore="UseCompoundDrawables" and ignore this warning.
Another approach is embed the ViewImage into another LinearLayout (allow handle it with alone id):
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/blue_3"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:paddingTop="16dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvPrompt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:text="#string/xy" />
This tag and its children can be replaced by one <TextView/> and a compound drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
