how to optimize this layout? - android

I have this xml layout code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
but it doesn't seems to be working as I want it to be. I need it like the following figure:
The problem with my code is the list view I can't stretch it to the bottom before the tablelayout. The other problem comes if the textview at the top is too long, it appears under the tablelayout and it's visible.
Also the tablelayout at the bottom shifted up when the keyboard is visible, I don't want this to happen.
Any suggestion please?


Have a single ListView in your layout. You can add other views(as shown in your diagram) as headers to the list view using addHeaderView() method. This way you will get the Scrolling effect as you desired.


Thank you all for your support. I came up with a better solution:

ScrollView needs to declare :
android:layout_above="#+id/Layout1"
Layout1 is the layout that host tableLayout1
But you will have some issues with ListView into scrollView


As there are only two Layout in your RelativeLayout, use LinearLayout. This will solve the overlap problem. Set the weight of ScrollView to keep the TableLayout at bottom.
The keyboard shift the Bottom table layout because it's mode is set to Resize. You will usually control this behavior through the android:windowSoftInputMode attribute on each definition in your AndroidManifest.xml. Set the value of this to adjustPan.

I done hacks on ListViews for Scroll issues created by Conflict of ScrollView and ListView. Now I realized that this is creating some mess with NavigationDrawer I want to shift to single ListView Approach. Is it possible? Any Example? Thanks in Advance.

Android: making a simple layout

I would like to construct a simple table layout in Android BUT I got some problems with it.
At part 1: there are some text views so I would like to put that TableRow's height to wrap_content.
At part 2: same thing.
It works all still now BUT:
At part 3: there are 2 listview-s and at part 4 there are some buttons.
I would like to do something like this:
let the part 4's height to wrap content but make the part 3 to fill all the empty space on the screen.
Please give me a solution for this, beacause when i probed the part 3 filled out all the emty space till the bottom of the screen. Now I tryed with weight_sum BUT I do not like it because I would let the 4'd row to wrap_content.

Create a RelativeLayout as parent and place the TableLayouts inside that. That allows you to use alignParentBottom and alignParentTop layaout params.

check it this layout, but please keep your old layout file in backup.

set tableRow3's android:layout_height to 0, and android:layout_weight to 1. The other tableRows can use android:layout_height="wrap_content".

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="14dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/meals_line_shadow_left" />
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:stretchColumns="0" >
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textDate"
style="#style/MealWizard.BigText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="text"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttonDatePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingRight="7dp"
android:paddingLeft="7dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/general_date_button_selector" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textTime"
style="#style/MealWizard.BigText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="15:34"
android:textSize="24sp" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/buttonTimePicker"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingRight="7dp"
android:paddingLeft="7dp"
android:background="#null"
android:src="#drawable/general_time_button_selector" />
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/meals_line_shadow_right" />
</LinearLayout>
The problem is that I can't see the right imageView:
I need solve that without using absolute size (It works with absolute values).
I'll be happy for any suggestions for fixing or alternatives

The solution is simple:
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:stretchColumns="0" >

Complex ListView item layout with all elements the same size for each item?

I am trying to build a complex listview item layout with all of the elements being the same dimensions for each listview item with the entire layout taking up the whole width of the screen. So far I have attempted doing this using a linearlayout and found that this is the wrong approach. I have then attempted using a relative layout however this has not worked for me so I hope that someone can point out how I can make this work.
Here is a diagram of what I am trying to build.
Here is some more details about the diagram:
Only elements 5 and 6 have the same content for every list item. The
rest of elements all will have different text however the layout
should always be the same size.
Element 4 should only be 2 lines. Elements 1, 2 and 3 should only be 1
line.
Element 2 should be aligned left and element 3 should be aligned
right.
Element 2 and 3 should each be half of the width of element 4.
Here is my attempt at this layout using a RelativeLayout.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:padding="2dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtRaceNumber"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtRaceName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/txtRaceNumber"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtRaceClass"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:maxLines="1"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/txtRaceNumber" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtRaceStartTime"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:maxLines="1"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/txtRaceClass" />
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btnTracklist"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#null"
android:paddingRight="8dip"
android:focusable="false"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/txtRaceStartTime" />
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/go"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/btnTracklist" />
</RelativeLayout>
Using this RelativeLayout all of the elements appear scrambled within the layout.
How can I get all of these elements to align as I have shown in the Diagram?

Is this what you need?
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/lin1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

I have managed to get the desired layout using weightSum on the main layout.
Here is the code:

android:paddingTop="2dip"
android:paddingBottom="2dip"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:weightSum="1"
android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtRaceNumber"
android:layout_width="40dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:paddingRight="5dip"
android:paddingLeft="5dip"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"

<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtRaceName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Follow below structure I feel you can achieve what you want use weight and weightSum.
<LinearLayout orientation="horizontal">
<LinearLayout>
<TextView/>

Android Grid with LinearLayout

I'm trying to build a grid with some linear layouts.
Unfortunately the buttons inside the "grid" fill all the space and the "grid" isn't always the same size.
<ScrollView
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/scrollView1"

It should look something like
this
with the buttons centered and at the size they need with the text inside.
Could anyone help me?

Try this.

</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
this is how it shows to me

Remove the android:layout_weight="1" to avoid the button filling all the space.
You should try using a TableLayout and several TableRow to replace your LinearLayouts containing the buttons, thus creating a well formated grid

I had a similar problem, solved inserting a LinearLayout in TableRow. Have a look to the posted xml code and verify if it fits your requirements.
<TableRow
android:layout_gravity="fill_horizontal"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/table_row_padding_top" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:contentDescription="#string/str_phone"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/icon_phone" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/str_phone"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="12sp" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/icon_car"
android:contentDescription="#string/str_car" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="#string/str_car"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="12sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</TableRow>
