I have a main layout in which i'm adding dynamic view inflated, i do this add in scale with the main layout but in some cases the view exceeds the mainl layout height.How can i tell them to stick to the layout height and not cross over?
Thank you
Please provide the code, so that I can help you by analyzing it. Try using proper LayoutParams. why do you want to add View dynamically. If you can make it in XML, make it!

I'm trying to achieve the following layout design:
I tried a few times, but I couldn't achieve it. I almost got it by using the following code.
However, I'm not good on working with layouts on Android. I only know a few about the topic.
For more information about what I got, look at: http://pasted.co/4afcaa94
Any help will be appreciated!
Thank you
Try creating your layout using Frame Layout. Study about it how frame layout works and then try creating your layout accordingly.
Make frame layout as your parent layout
RelativeLayout As parentView, circileView and confirmar button upon a linear layout . Use minus margin to set them on the linearlayout.
I would work with a piece of layout that isn't shown, the user must scroll to see what I have did. How can I do it? Can I join 2 different layout in one? I prefer to collocate item as I do with default layout. If it can help, I use Android studio. I prefer use elements without code, adding them from palette. An example :
You can use two different layout in main relative layout & whenever u want child layout just set visibility.
You will want to use a ScrollView for this. From the documentation:
Layout container for a view hierarchy that can be scrolled by the user, allowing it to be larger than the physical display.
I have used both Linear and Relative layout . But still don't know excatly when to use which .
How to decide which one to use ? Explain with some example .
It's a personal preference for most of the cases.
You have to decide according to your necessity. You should however try to stick to RelativeLayout, if you are using multiple nested LinearLayouts since those can drop your performance noticeably.
See this tutorial. You'll have a good idea about different layouts. Hope this helps.. :)
This all depend on personal preferences and Experience matters a lot .
Personally i use combination of Linear layout in most of cases but sometimes FlowLayout and Relative Layout etc are used.
Linear Layout (vertical / Horizontal ) are used to create basic layout. Following properties help create view better and esthetic .
android:Layout_weight
Relative Layout is used to create overlay effect and also used to relate position of different Views according to position . Following properties help create view better and esthetic .
android:layout_margin
android:paddingLeft
android:paddingRight
android:paddingTop
android:paddingBottom
Frame Layout used to create Overlay layout like on option pressed etc.
also Frame Layout Can used to create overlay ads .
Grid Layout is used to create grid , you may have see gallery pics which are basically implemented in grid layout.
Example of Grid is Gallery Photos
I want to define a layout that it's orientation is horizontal, but if width of the child views exceeds the width, it adds the new child view in a new line.
can it be done?
For this you will need a FlowLayout whose custom implementation is given on this link

You can use RelativeLayout as the parent view, and put many LinearLayouts in it, giving each of them a separate id, and adjusting their position relative to each other (in your case "below").
You can use grid view as layout to achieve this
NOp, :) not in the way you want it(not with linear layout). I am not sure but I think in java there was a FlowLayout that starts from left and keep moving to right when there is no space left it starts new row. But in android there is no such a layout.
But you can do some workarounds for this problem. There is a lot of differen solution but it cannot be done with linear layout. If you set orientation tho horizontal in will never go to new line.
as #Rasel suggested the best solution for you is to use gridview and do nothing about the orientation
I am using Eclipse and a ViewFlipper. In Graphical Layout, I want to see the second, third, and forth layouts of my views - right now, I can only see the first view. Any suggestions?
If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to see each view in the 'Graphical layout' tool? The way I do this, is instead of having all the layout work done in one xml (where your viewflipper is) I make each view a new layout xml. And then have each view (xml file) included into the view flipper by using this....
<include
layout="#layout/layout_media"
android:id="#+id/flipper_media" />
Hope this helps.
just put each layout in relative layout or linear what ever you are working with then with each layout you will work with the first one in the order and etc.. then at the end put each layout in the order you want later
I had to subclass the ViewSwitcher class to display an indeterminate ProgressBar until data is ready to display in the second view. I used isInEditMode() to determine whether I was actually running the app or just previewing in AS.
You should be able to add a custom attribute to choose which child to display. This might look a bit overkill, but if you happen to already have to subclass your ViewSwitcher or ViewFlipper, i think it is not a big deal.
I will try to put an example later.
