I have a ScrollView in a LinearLayout along with a header LinearLayout on top. I have given the main LinearLayout a background. If I keep the background for the ScrollView everything displays fine. But If I add a lot of content then the ScrollView background stretches. So I want to keep the ScrollView transparent.
But if I remove the background attribute or if I try android:background="#android:color/transparent" the content inside the ScrollView vanishes. All I can see is the header and the background from the outer LinearLayouts.
This is how I want my Views:
<Linear Layout with background image>
<Header Linear Layout>
</Header Linear Layout>
<ScrollView with no background>
<Layouts in Scroll View>
</ScrollView>
Here is the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#drawable/bg"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<include layout="#layout/topbar" />
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
style="#style/Labels"
android:text="#string/posts_add_postcontent" />
<EditText
android:id="#+id/postsAddContent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="#string/posts_add_postcontent_h"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:maxLength="3000"
android:minLines="3" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
Note: The header LinearLayout is included via another file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/topbar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="30dip"
android:background="#layout/bgtop_repeat"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:paddingTop="2dip" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/cornerlogo" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/menubuton"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#drawable/menubutton" />
</RelativeLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#layout/headshadow_repeat"
android:orientation="horizontal" />
</LinearLayout>
Thanks in advance :)

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
in included layout

In my xml file , i have one linearLayout and a button. The linearLayout contains a lot of textViews and checkboxes. So i wanted these textViews and checkboxes to scroll but the button should remain at its place i.e it should not scroll with the textViews. For this purpose, i cover my linearLayout with scrollView like this
<?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="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/homeo11" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/nexttodetail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>>
<Button android:id="#+id/Next4"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Next" />
</LinearLayout>
But doing this , hid my button. means the textviews and checkboxes are now scrolling properly but i can't see my next button. I try replacing the scrollView layout:height from fill_parent to wrap_content but this didn't work as well. Any help?
Use a RelativeLayout as your root View and then set your component with align_above, align_parent_top and align_parent_bottom like 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="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/homeo11" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="#+id/Next4" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/nexttodetail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp">
(...)
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>>
<Button
android:id="#+id/Next4"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Next" />
</RelativeLayout>
I am trying to make a layout where there are a LinearLayout and inside it I want a FrameLayout and a button.
I want the button to use the bottom of the linearlayout and to use the maximum width and the enough height for the button, using wrap content.
The other component, the FrameLayout I want to use it the remaining part of the screen.
How can I do it?
Here it the layout so far..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:text="#string/Capture" />
</LinearLayout>
Is not showing the button :s
Thanks alot in advance ;)
Better to work out with relative layout with button aligned to parent bottom and your frame layout above it occupying the rest space of the screen.Like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
use the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="capture" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"
/>
</RelativeLayout>

I am using this TextView to diplay List item in the ListView,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
I have given margin top attribute for the ListView, but even though it overlaps on the Button and EditText controls.
I am using a FrameLayout but of no use. Please suggest me any help!!
Any help is appreciated!!
You should use LinearLayout as parent, just set android:orientation="vertical".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/pattern1" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout02"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="top" >
...
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_customers"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal" >
...
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
FrameLayout has no 'rules of placement' so everything just stacks on to each other.
Instead, use a LinearLayout with android:orientation="vertical"
or use a RelativeLayout and add positioning values to the childs, such as android:layout_below
+1 Neoh and remove imageview, instead put the image as background image attribute at parent view
android:background="#drawable/pattern1"
FrameLayout are used very less,beacuse they are used to display single view or views which overlaps each other.
So you should use RelativeLayout.
FrameLayout is not the best option. You can use other layouts, eg, GridLayout, RelativeLayout or ListView.
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="590dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
...
Can I place image as background in bottom Activity (window)? For instance, when scrolling ScrollView, image must be always bottom and visible.
Did you try using RelativeLayouts? Something like:
<RelativeLayout android:width="fill_parent"
android:height="fill_parent"
...>
<WhateverYouWantAtBottom android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
<ScrollView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<whateverYouWantScrollable android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
At the bottom you could have an imageview with the image you wanted. No matter how long your content in the scrollview is, the imageview will not budge from the bottom as long as it has the alignParentBottom set as true.
EDIT: In the above code, the <whateverYouWantAtTheBottom> will be in the background as I declared it first. The foreground will be the contents of the scrollView as that was added last in the XML.
i tried this and its work for me
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/imageView1" >
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
I have a vertical scrollable layout with lots of items, working fine.
I am trying to place a new linearlayout to the bottom of the screen that would NOT be part of the scrollable layout.
That is, it would sit on the buttom (like an adview) independent of the scrollable part.
I was only able to place it inside the scrollView. How can I place it below, so it would always visible ?
Use a RelativeLayout, and organize it like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="#+id/linearLayoutThatDoesNotScroll" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutWithLotofContent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutThatDoesNotScroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The trick is in the ScrollView placement, at the same time it is aligned with the top of the screen AND above the lower, fixed, LinearLayout. It just works.
something like this :)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="10dip" />
</LinearLayout>
You will add your bottom content to the bottom linearLayout with the android:id=bottom :)
If you used a vertical LinearLayout to hold the scrollable layout, then you could add the adview to the LinearLayout below the scrollable layout and it would appear at the bottom of the screen. (assuming your weights are set correctly,and the scroll layout is set to WRAP_CONTENT)
A RelativeLayout would allow you to set the adview to align itself with the bottom of the scrollable layout as well, but you would still need to make sure the scrollable layout was set to WRAP_CONTENT so it didn't automatically take up the entire screen.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/dialogButtonOK"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" Ok "
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/button_style"
/>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:id="#+id/scrView"
android:layout_above="#id/dialogButtonOK"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
>
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:id="#+id/main_table" >
</TableLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
This is worked for me
