I want to center align my imageview with the above textview here's an image of what I'm getting.
I need something like this in a relative layout
<TextView
android:id="#+id/strength"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/hero_class"
android:textColor="#0095FF"
android:text="Strength"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/agility"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/hero_class"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="Agility"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#0095FF" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/intl"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/agility"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/agility"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="Intelligence"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#0095FF" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_int"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/img_str"
android:src="#drawable/intelligence" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_agi"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/img_int"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/agility" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_str"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/strength"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:src="#drawable/strength" />
This is what i have done but the problem is that i can have the middle imageview centered align but the left and right one are with align to the most right and most left not in the center of above textview
In layout.xml you can use this for each Text+Image:
<TextView ...
android:text="The Text"
android:drawableBottom="#drawable/icon1" />
You could repeat it into an LinearLayout with the horizontal orientation
You can make three Relative Views each containing a Textview and Imageview posited one below the other with the ImageView in the cater of the parent Relative View.
Finally put these three within an outer Relative View to position them as you like.
Try to create three linear layouts with orietation vertical,
Each linear layout will contain textview and imageview with gravity center
You can use LinearLayout as parent Layout having android:orientation="horizontal".
and then use three LinearLayout each contains TextView and ImageView having android:orientation="vertical".
See below code-
<?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="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/strength"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/hero_class"
android:textColor="#0095FF"
android:text="Strength"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_agi"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/img_int"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:src="#drawable/agility" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
TextView ImageView
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
TextView ImageView
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Hope this helps:

Check if your ImageView is centered on your layout with this attribute:
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
For your TextView, it needs a reference to be aligned above it and also be centered.
So you need this:
android:layout_alignParentEnd="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignParentRight="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:gravity="center"
Create GridView adapter and your done.

Iam having a custom list view where in a row i have 3 text views and 3 images each below each textview
(Relative Layout)
TextView1 Textiew2 TextView3
opening---->(LinearLayout1) (LinearLayout2) (LinearLayout3)
ImageView1 ImageView2 ImageView3
closing---->(/LinearLayout1) (/LinearLayout2) (/LinearLayout3)
closing-->(/RelativeLayout)
Now the output comes like the imageview is not center totextview, i mean if you have your text and image in center and its centerhorizontal then how it looks like, i need same on right and left end too, text and image in right end should be centered in right side , and same for left also. Please suggest me what to do.

Im trying to make a text view to align to the left border of another imageview in a RelativeLayout, but I'm having trouble and I cannot achieve this. Can anyone tell me how can I achieve this?

As #Salauyou mentioned, try with android:layout_alignLeft because it "Makes the left edge of this view match the left edge of the given anchor view ID"
and android:layout_toLeftOf means "Positions the right edge of this view to the left of the given anchor view ID."
Now, this is what I achieved:
I used this picture in drawable-mdpi (as the badge) - note the trick of the dual background:
and the standard launcher icon, since I didn't have a wine glass icon handy.
This is my layout:
<RelativeLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#fff"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="0dp"
>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="0dp"
android:padding="4dp"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtIcon"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="4dp"
android:background="#6b2339"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_launcher"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtBadge"
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/txtIcon"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="4dp"
android:background="#drawable/wines_crossing_badge"
android:text="8"
android:textColor="#312c23"
android:textSize="16sp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtDesc"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/txtBadge"
android:background="#312c23"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
android:padding="4dp"
android:text="Available Androids in stock for rental"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="16sp"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
I am trying to make a linear layout scrollable by using a scrollView so that the images put into the imageViews don't push the other views and functions off of the screen like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/customize"
android:textSize="30sp"

android:layout_marginTop="20dip"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/personalizetextviewChangeBackground"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
But it just makes it so that my first textView shows up and nothing else.
What can I do to fix this?
Put
android:orientation="vertical"
in LinearLayout and not in ScrollView ;)
The default orientation for LinearLayout is horizontal and your TextView probably spans across multiple lines.
I have a Spinner and a TextView in my LinearLayour.
I am trying to align the Spinner and a TextView vertically so that the center of both in on the same line:
This is my XML for that element:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/dropdownlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ok1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/white_box"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:text="#string/ok"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="#dimen/normale" />
</LinearLayout>
Tried this code as well, same result:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/dropdownlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ok1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/spinner1"
android:background="#drawable/white_box"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="#string/ok"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="#dimen/normale" />
</RelativeLayout>
Well note that you can't use RelativeLayout with Gravity or Layout_gravity
an example of how i do things. This works perfectly (it's at the right of a list view cell centerred verticaly)
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_margin="4dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/annuaire_distance_etablissement"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/arrow_img"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/clr_main_green"
android:textSize="12sp" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/arrow_img"
android:layout_width="15dp"
android:layout_height="15dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_marginRight="4dp"
android:src="#drawable/icone_fleche" />
</RelativeLayout>
Try this in Relative Layout like this
[<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/dropdownlayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner1"
android:layout_width="250dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#android:drawable/btn_dropdown"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/ok1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/white_box"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/spinner1"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:text="#string/ok"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:textSize="#dimen/normale" />
</RelativeLayout>]
You can simple wrap the Spinner and TextView inside a LinearLayout like this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
Remove the row
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/spinner1"
and if you want you can make relative the LinearLayout (adding the layout_below, layout_above, etc)
Then, inside both TextView and Spinner add:
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
You should stick to the linear layout and try the following on the TextView:
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
and then in your TextView you should change
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
into
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
I use the layout posted below to show messages by inflating that layout as a row into a ListView. The problem is that it works fine with a single-line message but when there are 2 lines or more the ImageView indicating the message state gets pushed off the screen, can't get the reason. Any ideas? Layout code and screenshot below.
That is the inflated layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvTimestamp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="TextView"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="8sp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_message_holder"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/tvTimestamp"
android:background="#drawable/outgoing_bg"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvMessageOutgoing"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
change you linear layout width fill_parent
and add android:layout_weight="1" in textview
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvTimestamp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="20"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="10:20pm"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="8sp" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_message_holder"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="80" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvMessageOutgoing"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:padding="4dp"
android:singleLine="false"
android:text="android developer tutorial in the world"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This worked for me
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvMessageOutgoing"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Medium Tesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeessssxt"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
It gives the textview the remaining space.
Try like this
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.6"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
Define your image view layout inside of Linear Layout
You can use
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_launcher"
