Custom ViewGroup not showing all children

For some reason my custom viewgroup is not showing all children when i add weight to my Horizontalscrollview but it works perfect when i removed the weight here is my xml. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
XML

Create Tag Cloud

I need to create a basic Tag Cloud. My aim is to add multiple TextView(Tags) that automatically fits themselves in a new line if the number exceeds the device width. (Like Instagram).
Right now when the width of the layout containing (TextView)tags exceeds the (device width) the TextView(s) at the end wraps itself.
I tried using RelativeLayout but i am unable to figure out the logic.
I viewed this post but if there is a better or simply a cleaner solution.
Thanks for your precious time.
It is not necessary that the result looks like Instagram.

The cleaner solution is to write your own custom ViewGroup class. Find the sample below.
For complete descriptive explanation visit, How to Create Custom Layout in Android by Extending ViewGroup Class.
public class TagLayout extends ViewGroup {
public TagLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public TagLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public TagLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
final int count = getChildCount();
int curWidth, curHeight, curLeft, curTop, maxHeight;
//get the available size of child view
final int childLeft = this.getPaddingLeft();
final int childTop = this.getPaddingTop();
final int childRight = this.getMeasuredWidth() - this.getPaddingRight();
final int childBottom = this.getMeasuredHeight() - this.getPaddingBottom();
final int childWidth = childRight - childLeft;
final int childHeight = childBottom - childTop;
maxHeight = 0;
curLeft = childLeft;
curTop = childTop;
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() == GONE)
return;
//Get the maximum size of the child
child.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(childWidth, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(childHeight, MeasureSpec.AT_MOST));
curWidth = child.getMeasuredWidth();
curHeight = child.getMeasuredHeight();
//wrap is reach to the end
if (curLeft + curWidth >= childRight) {
curLeft = childLeft;
curTop += maxHeight;
maxHeight = 0;
}
//do the layout
child.layout(curLeft, curTop, curLeft + curWidth, curTop + curHeight);
//store the max height
if (maxHeight < curHeight)
maxHeight = curHeight;
curLeft += curWidth;
}
}
}
To use the TagLayout, you can add it to your activity/fragment layout declaration.
main_activity.xml
<com.javatechig.taglayout.TagLayout
android:id="#+id/tagLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
Now we can have a custom view to allow some level of customization for each tag item layout.
tag_layout.xml
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tagTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:background="#a000"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#fff" />
MainActivity.java
Finally, from activity class you can add the tag items as follows.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
TagLayout tagLayout = (TagLayout) findViewById(R.id.tagLayout);
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = getLayoutInflater();
String tag;
for (int i = 0; i <= 20; i++) {
tag = "#tag" + i;
View tagView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.tag_layout, null, false);
TextView tagTextView = (TextView) tagView.findViewById(R.id.tagTextView);
tagTextView.setText(tag);
tagLayout.addView(tagView);
}
}
}
Result

I believe the solution above always consider the whole screen width, so if the developer sets android:layout_width parameter for example it won't respect its value or even parent's margin and padding values.
I've fixed it as follows:
private int mScreenWidth = 0;
private int mAvailableWidth = -1;
public TagLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init(context);
}
private void init(Context context) {
Display display = ((WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
Point deviceSize = new Point();
display.getSize(deviceSize);
mScreenWidth = deviceSize.x;
}
private void calculateAvailableWidth() {
if(getLayoutParams() != null && getLayoutParams().width > 0) {
mAvailableWidth = getLayoutParams().width;
return;
}
mAvailableWidth = mScreenWidth;
ViewGroup parent = this;
while(parent != null) {
mAvailableWidth -= parent.getPaddingLeft() + parent.getPaddingRight();
if(parent.getLayoutParams() instanceof ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams) {
ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams layoutParams = (ViewGroup.MarginLayoutParams)parent.getLayoutParams();
mAvailableWidth -= layoutParams.leftMargin + layoutParams.rightMargin;
}
if(parent.getParent() instanceof ViewGroup)
parent = (ViewGroup)parent.getParent();
else
parent = null;
}
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int count = getChildCount();
int currentRowWidth = 0;
int currentRowHeight = 0;
int maxItemWidth = 0;
int maxWidth = 0;
int maxHeight = 0;
if(mAvailableWidth == -1)
calculateAvailableWidth();
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
if(child.getVisibility() == GONE)
continue;
try {
measureChildWithMargins(child, widthMeasureSpec, 0, heightMeasureSpec, 0);
}
catch(Exception e) {
measureChild(child, widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
int childWidth = child.getMeasuredWidth() + child.getPaddingRight() + child.getPaddingLeft();
int childHeight = child.getMeasuredHeight() + child.getPaddingTop() + child.getPaddingBottom();
maxItemWidth = Math.max(maxItemWidth, childWidth);
if(currentRowWidth + childWidth < mAvailableWidth) {
currentRowWidth += childWidth;
maxWidth = Math.max(maxWidth, currentRowWidth);
currentRowHeight = Math.max(currentRowHeight, childHeight);
}
else {
currentRowWidth = childWidth;
maxHeight += currentRowHeight;
}
}
if(getLayoutParams().width == LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT) {
mAvailableWidth = maxItemWidth;
maxWidth = maxItemWidth;
}
maxHeight += currentRowHeight + getPaddingTop() + getPaddingBottom();
setMeasuredDimension(maxWidth, maxHeight);
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
int count = getChildCount();
int currentLeft = getPaddingLeft();
int currentTop = getPaddingTop();
int currentRight;
int currentBottom;
int parentWidth = this.getPaddingRight() - this.getPaddingLeft() + right;
for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
View child = getChildAt(i);
if(child.getVisibility() == View.GONE)
return;
int currentWidth = child.getMeasuredWidth() + child.getPaddingRight() + child.getPaddingLeft();
int currentHeight = child.getMeasuredHeight() + child.getPaddingBottom() + child.getPaddingTop();
if(currentLeft + currentWidth > parentWidth) {
currentLeft = getPaddingLeft();
currentTop += currentHeight;
}
currentBottom = currentTop + currentHeight;
currentRight = currentLeft + currentWidth;
child.layout(currentLeft, currentTop, currentRight, currentBottom);
currentLeft += currentWidth;
}
}
This way you are able to set android:layout_width="250dp" and get a result like this:
Set android:layout_width="match_parent" and get a result like this:
Or event use android:layout_width="wrap_content and get a result like this:
Hope it helps.

Android – shift button down if no room

I need to display two buttons in one row, but if the first button takes full width (if no room) then the second button must be shifted down (not overlap/flattened).
I tried the following code:
<?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
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Buttonttttttttttttttttttttsdfssdfsdfsdf"
android:id="#+id/button"/>
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="New Button"
android:id="#+id/button2"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
but have the following problem:
Could you please help, how to solve this problem? Maybe using a RelativeLayout?

I had a similar query as yours. And this is the solution that I ended up using.

Use this WritingLayout instead of the layout that you are using now.

How can I do something like a FlowLayout in Android?

How can I do something like a FlowLayout in Android?

You should use FlexboxLayout with flexWrap="wrap" attribute.
<com.google.android.flexbox.FlexboxLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:flexWrap="wrap">
<!-- contents go here -->
</com.google.android.flexbox.FlexboxLayout>
For build instructions, see the github repo.
implementation 'com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1'
More about this - https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/02/build-flexible-layouts-with.html

I don't have enough reputation to post a comment to Romain Guy's answer but that's where this answer should be (I created an account just to share my edit).
Anyway, I see other people have found out his pretty cool FlowLayout solution has some issues.
I could find one myself and I saw, as others, that some children were clipped.
Looking in details at the algorithm it seems to be a very simple mistake in the calculation of the height. When the very last child is the one being put on a new line, then the height was not properly computed.
I cleaned up a bit the computation (there was a weird use of "height" vs. currentHeight).
The following change fixes the problem of "last child is clipped if on a new line":
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
int widthLimit = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec) - getPaddingRight();
int widthMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec);
boolean growHeight = widthMode != MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED;
int width = 0;
int currentWidth = getPaddingLeft();
int currentHeight = getPaddingTop();
int maxChildHeight = 0;
boolean breakLine = false;
boolean newLine = false;
int spacing = 0;
final int count = getChildCount();
for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
{
View child = getChildAt(i);
measureChild(child, widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
LayoutParams lp = (LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
spacing = mHorizontalSpacing;
if (lp.horizontalSpacing >= 0)
{
spacing = lp.horizontalSpacing;
}
if (growHeight && (breakLine || ((currentWidth + child.getMeasuredWidth()) > widthLimit)))
{
newLine = true;
currentHeight += maxChildHeight + mVerticalSpacing;
width = Math.max(width, currentWidth - spacing);
currentWidth = getPaddingLeft();
maxChildHeight = 0;
}
else
{
newLine = false;
}
maxChildHeight = Math.max(maxChildHeight, child.getMeasuredHeight());
lp.x = currentWidth;
lp.y = currentHeight;
currentWidth += child.getMeasuredWidth() + spacing;
breakLine = lp.breakLine;
}
if (newLine == false)
{
width = Math.max(width, currentWidth - spacing);
}
width += getPaddingRight();
int height = currentHeight + maxChildHeight + getPaddingBottom();
setMeasuredDimension(resolveSize(width, widthMeasureSpec),
resolveSize(height, heightMeasureSpec));
}

There is a library from Google, called "flexbox-layout". You should check it out.
To use it in RecyclerView, you can use something like that:
val layoutManager = FlexboxLayoutManager(activity)
layoutManager.flexDirection = FlexDirection.ROW
layoutManager.flexWrap = FlexWrap.WRAP
layoutManager.justifyContent = JustifyContent.FLEX_START
layoutManager.alignItems = AlignItems.FLEX_START
recyclerView.layoutManager=layoutManager

Here is the custom class where you can achive layout like following with adding dynamicaly view (Also called FlowLayout).
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;

There is now built in support in ConstraintLayout using a Flow widget. It has many options that can be used to achieve many type of flows.
Example:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<androidx.constraintlayout.helper.widget.Flow
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:constraint_referenced_ids="item_1,item_2,item_3"
app:flow_horizontalBias="0"
app:flow_horizontalGap="10dp"
app:flow_horizontalStyle="packed"
app:flow_verticalGap="8dp"
app:flow_wrapMode="aligned"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
<View
android:id="#+id/item_1"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp" />
<View
android:id="#+id/item_2"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp" />
<View
android:id="#+id/item_3"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp" />
</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Like one of the previous answers, I started with the solution here: http://hzqtc.github.io/2013/12/android-custom-layout-flowlayout.html
I extended it to account for varying heights of children as below.
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
// Custom layout that wraps child views to a new line
public class FlowLayout extends ViewGroup {
private int marginHorizontal;
private int marginVertical;
public FlowLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public FlowLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public FlowLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
init();
}
private void init() { // Specify the margins for the children
marginHorizontal = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.activity_half_horizontal_margin);
marginVertical = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.activity_half_vertical_margin);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int childLeft = getPaddingLeft();
int childTop = getPaddingTop();
int lowestBottom = 0;
int lineHeight = 0;
int myWidth = resolveSize(100, widthMeasureSpec);
int wantedHeight = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++) {
final View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() == View.GONE) {
continue;
}
child.measure(getChildMeasureSpec(widthMeasureSpec, 0, child.getLayoutParams().width),
getChildMeasureSpec(heightMeasureSpec, 0, child.getLayoutParams().height));
int childWidth = child.getMeasuredWidth();
int childHeight = child.getMeasuredHeight();
lineHeight = Math.max(childHeight, lineHeight);
if (childWidth + childLeft + getPaddingRight() > myWidth) { // Wrap this line
childLeft = getPaddingLeft();
childTop = marginVertical + lowestBottom; // Spaced below the previous lowest point
lineHeight = childHeight;
}
childLeft += childWidth + marginHorizontal;
if (childHeight + childTop > lowestBottom) { // New lowest point
lowestBottom = childHeight + childTop;
}
}
wantedHeight += childTop + lineHeight + getPaddingBottom();
setMeasuredDimension(myWidth, resolveSize(wantedHeight, heightMeasureSpec));
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
int childLeft = getPaddingLeft();
int childTop = getPaddingTop();
int lowestBottom = 0;
int myWidth = right - left;
for (int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++) {
final View child = getChildAt(i);
if (child.getVisibility() == View.GONE) {
continue;
}
int childWidth = child.getMeasuredWidth();
int childHeight = child.getMeasuredHeight();
if (childWidth + childLeft + getPaddingRight() > myWidth) { // Wrap this line
childLeft = getPaddingLeft();
childTop = marginVertical + lowestBottom; // Spaced below the previous lowest point
}
child.layout(childLeft, childTop, childLeft + childWidth, childTop + childHeight);
childLeft += childWidth + marginHorizontal;
if (childHeight + childTop > lowestBottom) { // New lowest point
lowestBottom = childHeight + childTop;
}
}
}
}
I used this as a solution for wrapping multi-line TextEdits. Hope it helps!

Nice simple self-contained FlowLayout code here (just a few concise gist.github files):
http://hzqtc.github.io/2013/12/android-custom-layout-flowlayout.html
However, the activity there out of the box didn't work for me to load the custom layout.
I found this work-around [ using the 2-param .inflate() call from this example ]:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
// ..
setContentView(R.layout.main_res_layout_activity_main);
ViewGroup flowContainer = getFlowLayoutView();
// ..
}
ViewGroup getFlowLayoutView()
{
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
ViewGroup flowLayout =
(ViewGroup)
inflater.inflate(
R.layout.main_res_layout_activity_main,
(FlowLayout) findViewById(R.id.flow_container)
);
return flowLayout;
}

Android: How can I add childs to my custom ViewGroup with a CursorAdapter?

Please help! I tried everything! :(
I've got a schedule Class, which is simply a custom ViewGroup (with custom onMeasure() and onLayout()), which enables me to place childs(=events) with LayoutParams for column/row start and column/row end. The number of childs and their LayoutParams depend on database entries.
Now I'm trying to add childs (events) from my database. I'd have to use a Cursor Adapter, so my schedule Class has to extend ListView, right? I tried that but the newView() method of the adapter is never called. Why not??
My custom ListView doesn't ask the adapter for childs, no childs are added. I also can't add the childs by hand calling schedule.addView() if I extend from AdapterView.
I'd be really (really) happy if someone could help!
Regards,
cody

In my Activity I've got that code:
Schedule schedule = new Schedule(this, 4, rowTimes.length, 15, 15, rowTimes);
Cursor cursor = dbManager.getEvents(day);
MySimpleCurserAdapter adapter = ... ??
// schedule.setAdapter not working...
How can I add events to the schedule with the data from the cursor?

You should not need to be extending ListView. You just want to add an instance of ListView to your layout.
It sounds like you might want to be using a SimpleCursorAdaptor, where you can map items in your custom view to the data model objects you want them to display.
See Binding to Data with Adapter and Hello ListView for some examples of the right ways to use adapters and ListViews.
