Elements inside RelativeLayout not showing up - android

I am trying to design a 3D page curl.
In my mainActivity, I have a viewPager which contains pages to be curled. For each page I have a separate layout file.
In the layout file if i just add a text view like below it is showing up fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="#style/PageTitle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/green"
android:text="VIEW 1" /> -->
But if I wrap the textview inside relative layout, it just shows a white blank screen and textview is not shown.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".DemoActivity" >
<TextView
style="#style/PageTitle"
android:id="#+id/sampletextview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="VIEW 1" />
</RelativeLayout>
Can someone please help me to know why i am not able to use relative layout in my view layout file:
I inflate the view like this:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) myAppContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view1 = inflater.inflate(mViewIds[0], null);

Try changing the second parameter of the inflate() call from null to the ViewGroup that view1 is added to. Or post the code where you add it (and include the part where you define the LayoutParams).

Custom view xml versus its usage

I have a custom view CustomSettingEntry this is its xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/layout_custom_setting_entry_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/custom_setting_entry_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Then I use it in a fragment and assign it an id:
<com.mypackage.name.CustomSettingEntry
android:id="#+id/layout_notification_setting"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:setting_title="#string/title"
app:setting_subtitle="#string/subtitle" />
My question is what's the difference between the LinearLayout with id layout_custom_setting_entry_container and the usage with id layout_notification_setting? do they refer to the same thing?
If I set a click listener on the custom view inside the fragment, then later in some condition disabled clicking on the root LinearLayout inside the custom view, will this stop the listener?
I understand your custom view is a subclass of LinearLayout which inflates an xml layout. If so, the resulting view hierarchy is
[LinearLayout (actually a CustomSettingEntry), id : layout_notification_setting]
[LinearLayout, id : layout_custom_setting_entry_container]
...
So there are two levels of viewgroups, each one with it own id.
By the way this is inefficient because, the outer viewgroup (your custom class) has only one child (the root of the xml).
On solution is to use a <merge> as root of the xml layout to skip one level. See Optimize by merging or Inflating layout for your custom view
for more details.

How to create 'i' number of objects in a layout (by looping)?

I need to create i number of photo_view and give it a special amount every time (loop). number of photo_view in every time will be different. What exactly should I do in the code ?
my xml file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:custom="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/coordinatorLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#color/black">
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<com.github.chrisbanes.photoview.PhotoView
android:id="#+id/photo_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/exit_btn"
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/ic_back_ltr" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>
Dynamically adding Views to a ViewGroup is what you are looking for. which is done by code not by XML.
In general, there are two ways to add a view dynamically,
either by inflating some layout file in a view then add this view to your parent viewgroup (LinearLayout for ex) by calling the add method on this parent view.
Or by defining a new object of that view and add all params needed to it then add it to the parent viewgroup.
See an example about way 1 here
See an example about way 2 here
in your case you could create a new layout.xml file contains only your custom view com.github.chrisbanes.photoview.PhotoView with all the needed params. then add an id for the parent linearlayout
<LinearLayout
android:"#+id/parentViewGroup"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
</LinearLayout>
And in your code, loop by the count and add the custom inflated view to parent. like this:
View inflatedView = View.inflate(context, yourViewXML, null);
LinearLayout parentViewGroup = findViewById(R.id.parentViewGroup);
for(int i = 0 ; i<count ; i++){
parentViewGroup.add(inflatedView);
}

ListView and Button(android)

I want to make to the listView with an increase fell button:
My attempt at implementing this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#214075"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listbascet"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/sendtoEmail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:text="Заказать услуги" />
</LinearLayout>
You would better remove the button from the XML and add it to another one.
Then you can use the inflate to get the button and add it as footer view to the original list view.
This way it will be at the end of the list and scroll will it as well!
How to inflate:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)
getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);
Button item = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.item); // how to reference your button
How to add footer:
listView.addFooterView(view); // view is the inflated layout.
More details about footer view contained in this answer as well.

service show view getLayoutInflater

I would like to show two views in a service context. One is a TextView, and the other is a class that I have developed extending the basic View class.
prompt.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/mtPrompt"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/background_dark"
android:text="#string/demoString"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:minLines="2"
android:textSize="25dp" >
</TextView>
and input.xml:
<com.xxx.ime.sssView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/inputView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/translucent_gray"
android:cacheColorHint="#null" >
</com.xxx.ime.sssView>
in my onInitializeInterface() implementation I inflate them as follows:
sssView sv =
(sssView) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.input, null);
TextView tv =
(TextView) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.prompt, null);
I see the sssView, but not the TextView. Any ideas why?
This isn't quite an answer, but it is a solution. Rather than having two separate views, all I needed to do was inherit my sssView from TextView rather than view. Then I inflated the one view, and placed my text where I want it using gravity.

Android: How to dynamically include a XML Layout?

I want to decompose my UI into several XML Layouts. The first one would be the main layout, and the other ones would be the content layouts.
I would like to be able to set which content_layout should be included dynamically at run-time, so I don't want to set a "layout="#+layout/content_layout" in my XML file.
Here are my layouts:
main_layout.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="600dp"
android:layout_height="800dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<include /> <!-- I WANT TO INCLUDE MY CONTENT HERE -->
<Button
android:id="#+id/cancelButton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="Cancel" />
</RelativeLayout>
content_layout.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/whatever"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
content_layout2.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/whatever2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" />
How can I do that?
Thanks!
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/rl" ...
In your code:
// get your outer relative layout
RelativeLayout rl = (RelativeLayout) findById(R.id.rl);
// inflate content layout and add it to the relative layout as second child
// add as second child, therefore pass index 1 (0,1,...)
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)
this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
rl.addView(1, layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.content_layout, this, false) );
You could try using a ViewStub and just change which layout it is going to inflate programatically.
This answer discusses using one ViewStub.
