I am working on a project where i need to have a map to be shown inside a circle.How can i show a mapview inside a circle.
You can compose the layout with a FrameLayout. The first item must be the MapView and then an ImageView referencing a png with that circle transparent. Hope that helps.
Edited to add an example:
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:id="#+id/mapview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:clickable="true"
android:apiKey="whateverYourApiKeyIs"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/fullSizeImageWithTransparentCircle"/>
</FrameLayout>
Since you write such a bad question. Allow me to answer in the same style.
Take a mapview.
Style it with round corners
I'll even give you a link to round corners

I have an cup shape image.
i want to change my relative layout exactly same as my imageview,
is it possible in android?
Any help?
Thanks
Change layout like this image
Imageview
Use ImageView in RelativeLayout set imageview to
imageView.bringToFront();
Hope this helps :
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/root"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:layout_below="#id/rel_actionbar"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:padding="4dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rel_screenshot"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="300dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_to_print"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_tshape"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/img_t"
android:visibility="visible" />
</RelativeLayout>
Set imgTShape.bringToFront(); In java file As Milan Suggested and use Transparent image for this.
Use relScreenShot.addView(imgPrint, 0); to add view dynamically inside the layout and set image in imgprint that will remain inside the root layout only.
For what purpose do you want your layout like to be so?
In one word, it's impossible.
Android View must be Rectangle shaped although they can store non-rectangle shape images inside.
So I have a list of images that come from the web, I don't know which color are they and I want to place a text over the ImageView.
My idea is to place the ImageView, an image overlay with transparency gradient over that ImageView and the text above it. I want to mimic this behaviour:
Is there anyway to do this via XML?
When you write the XML for your list items which get inflated in the getView(...) of whatever ListAdapter you've written you can surely do this.
Something like this for the list item:
<?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:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="240dp"
android:background="#ACACAC"/>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="320dp"
android:layout_height="240dp"
android:background="#drawable/gradient">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Here is your text"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Then you create that drawable/gradient. For that you can recycle the answer from here.
Thanks to adityajones I managed to get there :)
So although this is my right answer, I'll mark his as the correct one!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="#drawable/image" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:background="#drawable/gradient_image" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_margin="6dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="18dp"
android:shadowColor="#000"
android:shadowRadius="7.0"
android:text="This is some random text"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="22sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
I'd use a FrameLayout or RelativeLayout. The first View you add to either should be the background ImageView, then obviously you'll need some TextViews and Other ImageViews [or Buttons, or ImageButtons, etc]
Seems like a reasonable layout: a background image, and then one additional view in each corner.
For the gradient, you'll probably want a separate Layout/View at the bottom with a gradient drawable as the background, although I can imagine you might be able to get away with setting the background of one of your TextViews as the gradient.
You do not have to use a gradient drawable file or set it in your xml..
you can do this pragmatically using GradientDrawable Class as explained in this related Question (Create a radial gradient programmatically) then set it as a background for a layout that covers your ImageView, this gives you ability to use different colors and orientations
For a long time I am reading posts from stackoverflow because they are very helpful and google seems to think that also.
Since yesterday I have a problem with a row in a ListView in Android. I want to show an image and the area between the image and the bottom of the element should be filled with a grey color.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/ConversationsBadgeLayout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#c0c0c0"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<QuickContactBadge
android:id="#+id/ConversationsBadge"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
<!--
...
A LinearLayout with TextViews, shouldn't be interesting for this
...
-->
</RelativeLayout>
My Problem ist that the it seems that the inner layout only wraps the content but doesn't fill_parent. When I set for example 100dp it works but that is not what i want.
It would be nice if you could help me with that. I tried much workarround like using LinearLayouts and TextViews but nothing worked.
You can set the background color to the ListView itself, then everything in it will have the background you want.
BTW, I recommend using LinearLayout instead of RelativeLayout in your case.
The layout file should contain exactly one outermost element and it should have both android:layout_width="match_parent" and android:layout_height="match_parent" Your RelativeLayout has android:layout_height="wrap_content"
i think you can use you can take background color in another xml file and put in drawable folder and also using Linear Layout is very useful to your problem
I should like to have an android app which has its background image on the bottom of the view.
Hopefully this could be achieved by only using XML.
My background image (bg.png) is located at the folder "res/drawable-mdpi".
The XML code is now:
<?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="horizontal" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/bg"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dip" />
</LinearLayout>
But this is stretching the whole image over the whole page. I only want it stretched in horizontal direction.
The height has to be in proportion with the (stretched) width.
And this image has to be the background of a view/layout, I want to keep using the layout and add items/objects to it.
I hope someone could help me with this, I've been looking on the internet for it for a few hours and I couldn't find anything more helpful then I have now.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
Firstly Change your LinearLayout to a RelativeLayout (android:layout_alignParentBottom only works with RelativeLayout).
Secondly use android:src="#drawable/bg" on your ImageView (not background)
if you really want to use the LinearLayout, you can try adding this attribute to your imageview android:layout_gravity="bottom"
I would like to display an icon in mapview just like the "change to list view icon" displayed on Google Places program. any clue how to do that?
If you need to put an icon in a relative place of the screen you can merge the mapview with a relative layout (in the XML page) some thing like this:
<merge
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<com.google.android.maps.MapView
android:id="#+id/mapView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:apiKey="xxxxxxxxxx" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/icon">
</ImageButton>
</RelativeLayout>
</merge>
Or if you need to use an icon over a map coordinate that you specify then you need to define an overlay.
hope this helps :)
What you want is called an Overlay. Check out the Google Map View tutorial under Part 2.
