I'm making an app with it's contents inside card-like views but I am having a couple of problems:
I can't get the label line (the blue line) to move away from the card text. I've tried both padding and margin (on both line imageview and textview from text) and nothing seems to work here.
The bottom part of the card title is getting cropped because of the line spacing. How can I fix this and keep the line spacing?
Check this screenshot for better understanding: http://imgur.com/qsoCFrB
Here's the code to the card background and the interface itself:
card_bg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Thanks in advance.
this is the creator of the Gist on GitHub!
Have you tried increasing padding on the RelativeLayout, perhaps that could fix the problem? Or even on the TextView element?
Try doing that and see what the results are.
EDIT: Also, why is there negative line spacing within the Text View?
DOUBLE EDIT: So what was happening is that your layout_alignBottom in the linkTitle TextView was shorter than the height of two lines of text, therefore it was cropping the title to limit the height of the TextView to that of the FavIcon ImageView. Removing this property fixes the issue.
Similar issue goes for the label shape, that alignBottom is what's messing it up.
Change layout_alignBottom to layout_below and then padding/margin should affect the position as you please.
Here is the updated version of your code that should remedy your issues:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linkCardView"

Using Android's Layout mechanism, how do I create an input box with the password icon, and a split between the icon and the input field, as shown below? I'd like to have the border around the input field as well.
you can use imageview and an edit text inside a layout like this
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="#dimen/_280sdp"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_30sdp"
android:id="#+id/rl_password"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="#dimen/_15sdp"
android:layout_height="#dimen/_15sdp"
android:src="#drawable/key"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:id="#+id/iv_password"/>
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:hint="Password"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/iv_password"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#00000000"
android:layout_marginLeft="#dimen/_8sdp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Try This ....

In api level >20 android:width and android:height not works with shape, i mean it well automatically detect the correct height and width accordingly to the view but it is not the case when you are using the api level <20. So when you fix the min width and height it will remains fixed through out all the api levels.
Otherwise you can specify different -2 layout size.
Just add minHight and maxHight in your seekbar layout
<Seekbar
.....
android:minHeight="50dp"
android:maxHeight="50dp"
....
/>
ALL,
Everywhere I look I see a reply on how to make it work for application icon. My situation is a little different.
In my program I have a ListView which displays images. Every image is associated with the object underneath.
What I want to do is create a design like in the iPhone badge notification, but for all those images in the view.
Trying to ask Google, I found this link. Problem is - it does not work. I'm testing on the LG Android phone with 2.2 kernel and all I see is the small red dot which is not even located on the image itself couple of pixels higher and to the left.
Here's my code:
<?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" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/user_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:contentDescription="#string/user_image_description"
android:src="#drawable/placeholder"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/user_messages"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="#id/icon"
android:layout_alignBottom="#id/icon"
android:background="#color/red"
android:textColor="#color/silver"
android:layout_marginLeft="-4dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="-4dp"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:gravity="center"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
Can someone please look?
I tried to change the margins as well as text size, but it didn't change anything.
Thank you.
Try this way
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:contentDescription="badge"
android:gravity="center"

android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/red" >

</stroke>
<padding
android:bottom="2dp"
android:left="7dp"
android:right="7dp"
android:top="3dp" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" >
</corners>
Output:

For some reason in the graphical display I am able to see that single element exactly as I want it - with margins all around (I also want it to move away from the edges of the screen left and right).
But when I run this and let the adapter do its job I am getting a list of items, touching the sides of the screen and no space between them apart forma single line which is used to separate the items on a normal list.
Anyone have a clue how to make it behave?! I have search far and wide.
Thanks for your help
The space between your item and widescreen can be done with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">...</shape>
</item>
In my case I used android:divider and android:dividerHeight on a ListView block to seperate each element of a ListView, and the left-right space with the android:left android:right properties.
The post where I got the info was this
Hi have shape and am trying to include this in my layout but it doesn't show?
This is my shape xml "damage.xml"
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
shape="rectangle">
<solid color="#ff0000" />
<stroke width="3dp" color="#ff0000" />
And this is my I thought I needed to include the Shape in the layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<View android:id="#+id/damage" android:background="#layout/damage"
android:layout_width="5dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</View>
<ImageView android:id="#+id/icon" android:layout_width="60px"
android:layout_height="60px" android:layout_marginRight="6dip"
android:src="#drawable/placeholder" />
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="6dip">
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Item Name"
android:textStyle="bold" android:singleLine="true" android:textSize="16sp" />
<ImageView android:id="#+id/rating" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:src="#drawable/rating_five" />
<LinearLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/range"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Range"
android:textStyle="bold" android:singleLine="true" android:textSize="16sp"
android:paddingRight="5dip" />
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/condition"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Condition"
android:textStyle="bold" android:singleLine="true" android:textSize="16sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
However nothing is drawn? Where am I going wrong. Secondly is it correct to set the width and heoght of the shape in the View or should I be doing it in the damage.xml? For example
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
shape="rectangle">
<solid color="#ff0000" />
<size android:height="wrap_content" />
<size android:width="5dip" />
<stroke width="3dp" color="#ff0000" />
Here the compiler complains about wrap_content.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try changing color="#ff0000" to android:color="#ff0000". That should cause the rectangle to be visible. Once you do that, you will find that a red rectangle shows up, but it fills the parent view vertically. That is because you used android:layout_height="wrap_content", even though the rectangle does not have any fixed height. I would fix that by using some other value for android:layout_height in your layout.
Also, it appears that you have placed damage.xml in the layout directory. Since a shape is a drawable, you should place it in the drawable directory, and reference it as #layout/damage in your layout.
Update:
Using the following code in damage.xml causes the rectangle to show up fine for me.
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#f0f000" />
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#ff0000" />
</shape>
