android child layout not showing - android

I have a LinearLayout with three RelativeLayout inside. The first two children layouts show. The third one does not show. When I change the children from RelativeLayout to LinearLayouts, the third one still does not show. Any ideas on how to fix this? The one not showing contains the ImageView.
Here is the 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="60dp"

android:layout_height="1dp"

<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/guess" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Your second Relative Layout's height is
android:layout_height="match_parent"
try putting:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
--edit - try adding a weight attribute.
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:weight=1
>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:weight=1>
</RelativeLayout>

android:layout_centerInParent="true" remove this from the view, if you want to add a view you can add separately out of the RelativeLayout with this your Layout is already in the center of the parent, For debug purpose set the width of each view to certain level so that you can see. Your two RelativeLayout already took the width of the Linear Layout, so no space left for the third Layout.

I decide to do it programmatically. I get the width of the device using context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels. Then from there I layout my pieces pixels by pixels, so to speak.

Is there way to make my list view constant of height when I add LinearLayout

I currently have problem on my layout xml, I want to list all the records on my xml layout however there is a such thing when I add another Linear Layout my ListView getting smaller, I really don't understand why the height of my list view adjusting every time I add the Linear Layout. I will show you guys my actual results and the goal I wanted.

I think your Appended List View root LinearLayout height should be wrap content

Relative Layout, align center of parent and right of view with no overlap

I am trying to align a TextView to be centered in a relative layout but also to the right of an ImageView. I would like it to look like this.
[-(image)-----some text here------------]
I'm able to do this with the code below, but if the text becomes too long it overlaps the image.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/small_padding"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/small_padding"
android:background="#color/White">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/navMenu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/home_icon"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/small_padding"
android:contentDescription="#string/abc_search_hint"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/actionBarTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/profile"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#color/Black"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:contentDescription="#string/title_activity_connect"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
I have tried aligning the TextView to the right of the ImageView but it stops centering in parent if I do that. Any help is appreciated
You could try something like this. I used a radio group instead of a linear layout for this but it should still work. Have a the linear layout horizontal as you already do and then make the layout gravity center then just put the image first then the text view
<RadioGroup
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:paddingTop="20dp">
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radio_student"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/checkbox_student"
android:onClick="onRadioButtonClicked"
android:layout_marginEnd="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"/>
<RadioButton
android:id="#+id/radio_teacher"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/checkbox_teacher"
android:onClick="onRadioButtonClicked"
android:layout_marginStart="30dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"/>
</RadioGroup>
EDIT:
I don't know if the margin attributes for the buttons I have work on text views but padding left on the text might work
try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/small_padding"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/small_padding"
android:background="#color/White">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/navMenu"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/home_icon"
android:layout_marginEnd="#dimen/small_padding"
android:contentDescription="#string/abc_search_hint"
android:layout_alignParentStart="`enter code here`true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/actionBarTitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/profile"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#color/Black"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:contentDescription="#string/title_activity_connect"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/navMenu"
android:alignParentRight="true"
android:gravity="center" />
</RelativeLayout>
You could (and should, for performance sake), use a compound drawable for the TextView (and get rid of the ImageView)
You want the image to stay on the Left part of the TextView, so use android:drawableLeft:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/small_padding"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/small_padding"
android:background="#color/White"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/actionBarTitle"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/home_icon"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/profile"
android:textSize="24sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#color/Black"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="end"
android:contentDescription="#string/title_activity_connect"
android:centerInParent="true"
android:gravity="center"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

RelativeLayout doesn't match parent's height

The relativelayout inside main layout won't fill the parent height when it's displayed on device. In fact i want the left-side layout with the yellow color to fill the row vertically.
here is the xml code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/verses_relativeLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.ad.holyquran.extra.TextViewEx
android:id="#+id/textView_Verse"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/versesRelativeLayout"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_marginTop="-15dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingRight="5dp"
android:text="Text"
android:textSize="#dimen/versesTextSize"
android:textColor="#ff000000" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView_VerseTranslation"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView_Verse"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/versesRelativeLayout"
android:paddingRight="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:text="Text Text Text Text Text Text"
android:textSize="20sp" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/versesRelativeLayout"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#fff3f27f">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/verseNumberIcRL"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/versesImageView"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/verse_number_ic" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView_verseNumber"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/versesImageView"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:text="280"
android:paddingBottom="28dp"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:textColor="#ff000000" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Thanks for reading.
If you remove the line
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/versesRelativeLayout"
It will stop being on the right. If you need the yellow as background, then in the main layout (which is the first relativeLayout) set it as the background using
android:background="#drawable\image"
You may need to put all the other elements inside the main RelativeLayout.
Hope this helps.
I couldn't see the end tag of the main RelativeLayout.
Just add the tag in layout versesRelativeLayout:
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView_VerseTranslation"
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/versesRelativeLayout"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#fff3f27f"
android:layout_alignParentTop="false"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="false"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView_VerseTranslation"

Custom dialog height to match content

This is my custom dialog, there are some textboxs and two buttons.
I'm using a RelativeLayout on it.
I'd like the dialog size to match the content, not all that blank space under there.
I don't want to use explicit pixel heights (it's not good practice).
Another thing, there's a way to have some space between every view?
This is my XML
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_desc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="8pt"
android:textStyle="italic" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_desc"
android:textSize="8pt" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_place"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_date"
android:textSize="8pt" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_close"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_place"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/view"
android:text="#string/btn_close" />
<View
android:id="#+id/view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_edit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_place"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/view"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_menu_edit"
android:text="#string/btn_edit" />
</RelativeLayout>
First question
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
Second question
Plus use android:marginTop="5dp" if you want to separate a View from Top for 5 dp.
marginLeft|Right|Bottom are also available.
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_place"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp" <-----------------
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_date"
android:textSize="8pt" />
By the way, if I were you, I'd nest some layouts to make order. You can have a general Relative Layout, then 2 linear layouts: one horizontal for TextViews and one vertical for Buttons. You can definely play with your editor and try to make the best appearance for your dialog.
EDIT
Try this one:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#0000"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="50dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_desc"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="prova"
android:textSize="8pt"
android:textStyle="italic" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_date"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:text="prova"
android:textSize="8pt" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt_place"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:text="prova"
android:textSize="8pt" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_edit"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableLeft="#android:drawable/ic_menu_edit"
android:text="btn_edit" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_close"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="btn_close" />
<View
android:id="#+id/view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="1dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I've hard-coded the texts. The main idea is to use a big container layout in background, which is trasparent (background=#0000) and in top of that a layout in wrap_content containing your Views.
If this solution doesn't resolve your problem, I think you could edit height directly in your code. Try to relate to this question
Set your relative layout's height to wrap_content.
For example:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!-- More XML -->
</RelativeLayout>
Also be aware that fill_parent is deprecated for widths and heights.
You can add either margin (extra space outside a view) or padding (extra space inside a view) with android:layout_margin or android:padding respectively. There are also variants such as layout_marginTop that only apply to a specific side of the view.

Adding ScrollView to RelativeLayout changes position of wigdets

The following is the XML of my layout. It explicitly states that the title, time and description TextViews should be under the image of the alarm. However, as the screen shot shows, the TextViews have moved into the ImageView. Why does this happen and how can I fix this? The problem only started happening when I added the scrollview.

Cute app :)
hmm... not sure why it's doing it, looks like you have the right code, without busting out eclipse. but i've also had some weird bugs with relativelayout that i didn't understand and didn't have time to debug.
i do know of an alternative way you can accomplish what you're looking for -
have a scrollview that encases a linearlayout instead of a relative layout. Do these things:
For the linearlayout, you can set orientation = vertical so that it's still a top down order.
For the part where you need two textviews where one is aligned to the right and the other is aligned to the right, you need another inner linearlayout with its orientation=horizontal. then have one element align parent left, and the other align parent right. add a weightSum=1 attribute to this linearlayout and have each of the two textviews layout_width=0.5 so that each is half the width of the screen
Apply a weightSum=1 attribute to your outer most linearlayout, and see each element inside so that it's layout_weight sum adds up to 1. layout_weight will allow an element to take up that much % of real estate on the screen. like if you set your imageView to have android:layout_weight=0.8 then it'll take up 80% of the screen... since mathematically, (layout_weight/weightSum) = (.08/1) = 80%
try to use that mechanism instead, and if should work :) if it's confusing i can give code
example
<?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" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:weightSum="1">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_alarm"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dip"
android:src="#drawable/alarm"
android:layout_weight="0.7"
android:contentDescription="#string/content_description_layout_alarm"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_alarm_title"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text="#string/empty"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_alarm_time"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20dip"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text="#string/empty"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/lbl_alarm_description"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="0.1"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:text="#string/empty"
/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_stop"
android:layout_weight="0.1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
android:paddingLeft="20dip"
android:paddingRight="20dip"
android:text="#string/stop_layout_alarm"
android:gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
i hope this deserves at least an upvote for the effort :D
