I am using FrameLayout in which I am having a search Textbox and Button and a ListView to be displayed in the next line of the TextBox
My layout is like this ,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<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:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_gravity="top" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnadd"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|center_horizontal" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
I am using this TextView to diplay List item in the ListView,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/txtsimple_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="60dp"
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.

The contents of my list view get hidden behind the button as follows:
The xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="top"
>
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
/>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
>
<Button
android:text="Send"
android:id="#+id/Button"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="addItems"

</Button>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/Button"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
</EditText>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The TextView for each row is as follows:
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"
android:textSize="20sp"
/>
What should i do to align it properly (as in above the button)?
Also when the listView is with just one or two entries, and when the keyboard is opened to type, the whole view shifts? How do I fix that as well? Thanks in advance
Cleaned up and corected the code a bit. Perhaps this is what you were looking for. Let me know if it works. Cheers !
<?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:id="#+id/Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

<EditText
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="text"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/Button" />
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#id/InnerRelativeLayout" />
</RelativeLayout>
adding android:layout_above="#+id/InnerRelativeLayout" to your ListView.
RelativeLayout has child views specify their position relative to the parent view or to each other (specified by ID). So you can align two elements by right border, or make one below another, centered in the screen, centered left, and so on. By default, all child views are drawn at the top-left of the layout, so you must define the position of each view using the various layout properties available from RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.
For put your InnerRelativeLayout layout at Top add android:layout_alignParentTop="true" to your InnerRelativeLayout and remove android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
Update: set up your Layout like below:
<?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:background="#color/Beige "
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/Button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:onClick="addItems"
android:text="Send" >
</Button>
<EditText
android:id="#+id/message"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/Button"
android:hint="Enter text" >
</EditText>
</RelativeLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/InnerRelativeLayout"
android:drawSelectorOnTop="false" />
</RelativeLayout>
Output:
use android:layout_above="#+id/InnerRelativeLayout" in your listview
Make the outer RelativeLayout into a LinearLayout with orientation vertical. Then, for the ListView set layout_height as 0dp and layout_weight as 1. The ListView will fill up all the remaining space in the LinearLayout without overlapping other views.
Also, stop using fill_parent, it's been deprecated and you should use match_parent instead.
I have the below layout which contain mainly:
Relative layout, which act as header with Textview and button.
and Listview.
I would like to make the "header" which is the above relative layout to be transparent and show the listview as user scroll down the list view.
I know how to make the layout transparent, but I dont know how to show the listview as background for the "header".

You are using a LinearLayout as the root container and in linear layout the views are placed one over the other so you cannot overlap one view over the other. If you want an overlapping effect you can use either the FrameLayout or the RelativeLayout as the root container.
Using RelativeLayout is a better option.
Here is sample code for 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" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
</ListView>
<Button
android:id="#+id/view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#00cc0000"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Here the button is overlapping the list view.
I hope this will help :)
Try moving the ListView inside of your RelativeLayout, as the first element (this ensures that it's in the back). This way, the other views are just on top of the ListView, and if you make them transparent you should get the desired effect!
Oh, and you should make the ListView then fill the RelativeLayout:
<ListView
android:id="#+id/mylist1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >
</ListView>
, and make the RelativeLayout fill the screen:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/buttonlayout2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
...
I'm trying to add this child LinearLayout
<?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:layout_marginTop="50dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text="Beautiful star-shaped spillway, Kechut Reservoir, Jermuk, Armenia"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
</LinearLayout>
into this parent LinearLayout:
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#F1F1F1" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/tiles"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
I add this dynamically using the Inflater so there can be multiple items in my parent LinearLayout. I'd like to have spacing between the children so I've added property android:layout_marginTop="50dp" but this property doesn't get respected.
My children show up without any spacing between them. How I can I fix this?
I couldn't find another way of doing this other than nesting the child LinearLayout inside another LinearLayout and adding the marginTop property to that.
<?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" >
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/description"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:text=""
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
In this case it might work better with padding. I've experienced that when you don't limit your height or width of your layout padding tends to give better results (sometimes).
I have two edittext views. One of them has only one line, its the title. But the other one should fill the linearlayout to the end, but it doesn't.
I updated the code so this is my whole xml for this app. I hope someone can find what's wrong. The part that i want to form like this is the part inside the LinearLayout named addView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:background="#drawable/background"
/>
</FrameLayout>
I changed textBoxTitle's height to wrap_content and I see this:
Is this what you were hoping for? Also if you want content to appear in the upper-left corner use this attribute:
<EditText
...
android:gravity="top"
/>
So i found what was wrong.
I needed to set layout_height (of the textBoxContent view) to 0dp and layout_weight (of the textBoxContent view) to 1.
The first view should have android:layout_width="wrap_content"
I am displaying a TextView and below that a ListView in one page. My code is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/widget"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Here I am displaying the ListView data dynamically....but in my emulator it is displaying a TextView at the top and then the ListView with scroll...It is not expanding the list and instead it is scrolling with the content which is generated dynamically...Please tell me how to expand the entire ListView....
Thanks in advance

You have an error here
<ListView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/listlist" //error here
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</ListView>
the ListView is filled of the LinearLayout
so that you can't get the TextView.
instand of this
you can layout your view as follows:
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/listlist" //error here
android:layout_height="0"
android:layout_weight="1.0>
android:layout_weight="1.0" //this will make the list view filled with the rest of the screem
Further more
I suggest you use "match_parent" instand of "fill_parent"
this WAS CHANGED in the SDK level 8...
OK, now you use the RelativeLayout install of the LinearLayout
So you should add the relationship with your views in your layout.
You can layout as this:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/widgetlay"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="" >
</TextView>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listlist"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/txt1" />
android:layout_below="#id/txt"----Indicate the relationship with the layout
The RelativeLayout does not have the attr "orientation" and "layout_weight". So I don't suggest you to use this layout, It can't be fixed with the screen height in that way.
The good layout is:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtvw1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="status" >
</TextView>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listlist"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1.0" />
Further more, what do you want to layout your views?
This is a part of my work. List view will appear in the middle of your screen and what ever u need at the top, put it in place of header() and things that u need in bottom of the screen , put it in place of footer(). U can use relative layout instead of the linear layout
Hope this helps.

I don't know what is meaning of expanding meaning here, but listView in scroll view dont behave normally. To resolve this issue you need to implement list view outside of scrollview.
I don't quite understand what you mean, but if you want to have the textView scroll with the content of the listView, you need to add it as a header in your listView.
Moreover, it is not a good idea to put a listview in a scrollview, the listview being scrollable, it messes with the scrollview mechanism.
You can NEVER ever place a listview in the SCrollView.It wont behave properly.Instead of it try using LinearLayout TextView ListView < /Linearlayout>
