I have opened a bug report at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1144713
When I rotate the webview it does not fill the screen.
I want to rotate the webview because AndroidTV requires landscape mode... but we are gonna have the TV in a portrait setting.
i use fill_parent && match_parent but it does not work in either case.
here is a screen shot of Android Studio preview.
Also to note when i test it like this it seems like the webview matchs the screen size but doesn't adapt to the rotation... it just rotates the webview and does not resize it to the new dimensions

UPDATE:
Based on the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/64672893/1815624 I used a custom WebView class, yet it seems like setMeasuredDimension is not functioning...
public class CustomWebView extends WebView {
public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
public CustomWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);//getMeasuredHeight();
int desiredHeight = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);//getMeasuredWidth();
Log.e("CustomWebView", "desiredWidth: "+ desiredWidth);
Log.e("CustomWebView", "desiredHeight: "+ desiredHeight);
setMeasuredDimension(desiredWidth, desiredHeight);
}
}
UPDATE 2:
I had to use the code and layout suggested by the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/64672893/1815624 and then it worked...Cheers
The issue that you are having is that rotation occurs post-layout. This means that the measurements occur for the landscape mode (width > height) then the view is rotated but the new width is the old height and the new height is the old width. That is what you are seeing and it is not a bug.
One way around this is to create a custom view that swaps the width and height and pivots at the origin -90 degrees then translates the whole view down by the desired height.
Here is the code for the custom view:
RotatedWebView.kt
class RotatedWebView #JvmOverloads constructor(
context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet? = null, defStyleAttr: Int = 0
) : WebView(context, attrs, defStyleAttr) {
override fun onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec: Int, heightMeasureSpec: Int) {
val desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec)
val desiredHeight = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec)
translationY = desiredWidth.toFloat()
setMeasuredDimension(desiredWidth, desiredHeight)
}
}
RotatedWebView.java
public class RotatedWebView extends WebView {
public RotatedWebView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public RotatedWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public RotatedWebView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int desiredWidth = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
int desiredHeight = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
setTranslationY(desiredWidth);
setMeasuredDimension(desiredWidth, desiredHeight);
}
}
The layout will look something like this:
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:orientation="vertical"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frameParent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginStart="2dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:foregroundGravity="center"
android:keepScreenOn="true">
<com.example.webviewrotation.RotatedWebView
android:id="#+id/keypadWebView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:rotation="-90"
android:transformPivotX="0dp"
android:transformPivotY="0dp" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
And this is the result as seen in an emulator:
It would probably be better to place all the view manipulation into the custom view instead of splitting it between the code and the XML. I assume that you will physically rotate the TV so the web page shows as you want.
I build customView extending LinearLayout and having simple 3 childrens(2 TextView and ImageView). I create this view dynamically in code and adding it to parent LinearLayout. This view has background, so I can easily spot on the screen, that it is inflated correctly in its place, but any of child is not visible. I checked LayoutInspector and it shows that everything is setted correctly(text values to TextViews and picture to ImageView), but somehow when I try to locate them on inspector they are shown as little dot over my customView:
My CustomView is called DayTileView and this is square with gray background. As you can see on inspector on the left childrens are filled with content. Layout of View:
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<merge>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/day"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/dayName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
/>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/padlock"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:src="#drawable/ic_padlock"
/>
</merge>
</layout>
And its code:
public class DayTileView extends LinearLayout {
private DayTileBinding mBinding;
public DayTileView(Context context) {
super(context);
init();
}
public DayTileView(Context context, #Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
init();
}
public DayTileView(Context context, #Nullable AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
init();
}
private void init() {
mBinding = DataBindingUtil.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(getContext()), R.layout.day_tile, this, true);
setOrientation(VERTICAL);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
final int width = getDefaultSize(getSuggestedMinimumWidth(), widthMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(width, width);
}
public void setDay(int day, int month, int year) {
DateTime settedDay = new DateTime().withYear(year).withMonthOfYear(month).withDayOfMonth(day);
mBinding.day.setText(String.valueOf(day));
String dayName = settedDay.dayOfWeek().getAsText();
mBinding.dayName.setText(dayName);
boolean isWeekend = settedDay.dayOfWeek().get() == 6 || settedDay.dayOfWeek().get() == 7;
setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), isWeekend ? R.color.weekend_bg : R.color.weekday_bg));
}
}
Its use in another CustomView which is also LinearLayout but wiht horizontal orientation (PlannedDayView on inspector):
<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<merge>
<*.customViews.DayTileView
android:id="#+id/dayTile"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/container"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_weight="1.2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</merge>
</layout>
Has anyone any idea what could be casuing this (childs out of view)? When I replace merge for LinearLayout with vertical orientation and same background everything in Design mode of layout is visible correctly, so it should work.
EDIT:
I found out, that if I set during View initalization Padding Top to 10px then dot is moving down. So it looks like from some reasons Android didn't made to inflate correctly TextViews and ImageView
I found out what was the problem:
I overrided onMeasure and didn't measure child Views. Earlier I was using such code to make square View not square ViewGroup.
Corrected code:
final int width = getDefaultSize(getSuggestedMinimumWidth(), widthMeasureSpec);
setMeasuredDimension(width, width);
super.onMeasure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(width, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY), MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(width, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
After setting correct width and height for View I must measure whole view with new MeasureSpec
I have a horizontal RecyclerView in my layout that is populated with a CustomImageView which ensures a rounded drawable inside it. When I add these custom views, their width is zero. This RecyclerView is defined as this:
<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
android:id="#+id/chart_months_list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1.5"
android:backgroundTint="#color/saltpan"
/>
Pretty simple. Referring to my CustomImageView, this is the code and their layout:
public class CustomImageView extends ImageView {
public CustomImageView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public CustomImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public CustomImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
Drawable d = getDrawable();
if (d != null) {
int w = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int h = w * d.getIntrinsicHeight() / d.getIntrinsicWidth();
double f1 = ((double)w)*0.78;
double f2 = ((double)h)*0.78;
setMeasuredDimension((int)f1, (int)f2);
Log.e("MEASURE", f1+" "+f2);
}
else super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
}
}

</LinearLayout>
This code works properly. I use it in other parts and layout is fully presented. This layout is used in a class with this ctor:
public ChartMonthItem( Context context, RecyclerViewItemClickListener itemClickListener ){
super( context );
this.context = context;
this.itemClickListener = itemClickListener;
selected = false;
View view = LayoutInflater.from( context ).inflate( R.layout.chart_select_option_text_image, this );
CustomImageView backgroundMonth = ( CustomImageView )findViewById( R.id.chart_cell_background );
backgroundMonth.setMinimumWidth( 100 );
drawable = backgroundMonth.getDrawable();
chartMonthNumber = ( TextView )findViewById( R.id.chart_month_number );
}
I forced my ImageView to a minimum width of 100 just for test. Calling invalidate() doesn't work too. after Even with this approach it continues to have a width of zero.
I hoped with this approach I was ensuring a minimum width and the created ImageViews would have proper width based on their parent.
What I doing wrong?
I try to make a grid-layout with square images. I thought that it must be possible to manipulate the GridLayoutManager by manipulating onMeasure to do a
super.onMeasure(recycler, state, widthSpec, widthSpec);
instead of
super.onMeasure(recycler, state, widthSpec, heightSpec);
but unfortunately, that didn't work.
Any ideas?
To have the square elements in my RecyclerView, I provide a simple wrapper for my root View element; I use the following SquareRelativeLayout in place of RelativeLayout.
package net.simplyadvanced.widget;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
/** A RelativeLayout that will always be square -- same width and height,
* where the height is based off the width. */
public class SquareRelativeLayout extends RelativeLayout {
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
}
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
}
#TargetApi(VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public SquareRelativeLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
// Set a square layout.
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
}
}
Then, in my XML layout for the adapter, I've just referenced the custom view as shown in the following. Though, you can do this programmatically also.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<net.simplyadvanced.widget.SquareRelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/elementRootView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<!-- More widgets here. -->
</net.simplyadvanced.widget.SquareRelativeLayout>
Note: Depending on which orientation your grid is, then you may want to have the width based off of height (GridLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL) instead of the height being based off the width (GridLayoutManager.VERTICAL).
Constraint layout solves this problem. Use app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,1:1"
recyclerview_grid_layout.xml
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageview"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,1:1"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
EDIT
Set ImageView width to 0dp. match_parent is now deprecated for ConstraintLayout.
In case someone would like to scale the view differently - this is how you do it:
private static final double WIDTH_RATIO = 3;
private static final double HEIGHT_RATIO = 4;
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
int widthSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
int heightSize = (int) (HEIGHT_RATIO / WIDTH_RATIO * widthSize);
int newHeightSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(heightSize, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, newHeightSpec);
}
Starting API 26 (Support Library 26.0), one can use ConstraintLayout that exposes aspect ratio property to force views to be squared:
https://developer.android.com/training/constraint-layout/index.htm
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
...
}
...
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.2'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0-beta1' //use whatever version is current
}
Example of layout I'm using in GridLayoutManager:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.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"
android:layout_margin="#dimen/margin_small"
android:background="#drawable/border_gray"
android:gravity="center">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="h,1:1"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">
<!-- place your content here -->
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="h,1:1" is the key attribute here
A small update for ConstraintLayout for androidx.
Include this line to your build.gradle:
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.0-beta2'
I wanted to get a RecycleView with GridLayoutManager with square CardViews and I used such a layout for items:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
>
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:id="#+id/cardView"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,1:1"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
>
On the ConstraintLayout
layout_width="match_parent" is important to let the item fill as much space as RecyclerView provides
layout_height="wrap_content" do not let the item to fill all the height given by RecyclerView, but use the constrained height, provided by ConstraintLayout. In my case, when I used FrameLayout or LinearLayout, the items were "tall".
On the child node, in my case CardView
limiting size to zero is important: layout_width="0dp" and layout_height="0dp" it means, that width and height are contrained
layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,1:1" makes the desired effect, by setting H you define that height is to be constrained 1:1 is the ratio.
See some detailed explanations on the offsite.
Please, try this extension of the FrameLayout. It performs double measuring to improve consistency. It also supports custom XML properties to set-up required aspect ration from layouts
public class StableAspectFrameLayout extends FrameLayout {
private int aspectWidth = 1;
private int aspectHeight = 1;
public StableAspectFrameLayout(Context context) {
this(context, null, 0);
}
public StableAspectFrameLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
this(context, attrs, 0);
}
public StableAspectFrameLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
extractCustomAttrs(context, attrs);
}
#TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
public StableAspectFrameLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
extractCustomAttrs(context, attrs);
}
private void extractCustomAttrs(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
if (attrs == null) return;
TypedArray a = context.getResources().obtainAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.StableAspectFrameLayout);
try {
aspectWidth = a.getInteger(R.styleable.StableAspectFrameLayout_aspect_width, 1);
aspectHeight = a.getInteger(R.styleable.StableAspectFrameLayout_aspect_height, 1);
} finally {
a.recycle();
}
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
int newSpecWidth = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(getMeasuredWidth(), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
int newH = Math.round(((float) getMeasuredWidth()) * aspectHeight / aspectWidth);
int newSpecHeigh = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(newH, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
super.onMeasure(newSpecWidth, newSpecHeigh);
}
}
And the content fo the attrs.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<!-- StableAspectFrameLayout -->
<declare-styleable name="StableAspectFrameLayout">
<attr name="aspect_width" format="integer"/>
<attr name="aspect_height" format="integer"/>
</declare-styleable>
</resources>
Once again, I recommend the relatively recent 'percent' layouts. Using the dependency 'com.android.support:percent:25.2.0', you can do something like this:
<android.support.percent.PercentFrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
app:layout_widthPercent="100%"
app:layout_aspectRatio="100%"
android:padding="10dp"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:cropToPadding="true"
tools:background="#efdbed"
/>
</android.support.percent.PercentFrameLayout>
It's probably much faster than ConstraintLayout, though someday we probably won't care anymore.
I don't like chosen answer so let me provide mine: Instead of wrapping entire item layout in SomeDammyLayoutWithFixedAspectRatio you can hack GridLayoutManager and rewrite code inside measureChild. I've replaced these lines:
if (mOrientation == VERTICAL) {
wSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(availableSpaceInOther, otherDirParentSpecMode,
horizontalInsets, lp.width, false);
hSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(mOrientationHelper.getTotalSpace(), getHeightMode(),
verticalInsets, lp.height, true);
} else {
hSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(availableSpaceInOther, otherDirParentSpecMode,
verticalInsets, lp.height, false);
wSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(mOrientationHelper.getTotalSpace(), getWidthMode(),
horizontalInsets, lp.width, true);
}
to:
if (mOrientation == VERTICAL) {
wSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(availableSpaceInOther, otherDirParentSpecMode,
horizontalInsets, lp.width, false);
hSpec = wSpec;
} else {
hSpec = getChildMeasureSpec(availableSpaceInOther, otherDirParentSpecMode,
verticalInsets, lp.height, false);
wSpec = hSpec;
}
It seems to work fine.
Don't get me wrong, this is quite messy too, but at least this solution doesn't hurt app performance by extending view hierarchy
I had similar problem and I had to inflate the view which would be square in Grid of recycler view. Below is my way of doing it.
Inside onCreateViewHolder method I used the ViewTreeObserver and GlobalLayoutListener to get the measured width of the layout. The layout has match_parent value in the width attribute. Any my recycler view has layout in center horizontal.
final View view = LayoutInflater.from(mActivity).inflate(R.layout.list_item_deals, parent, false);
view.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
int side = view.getMeasuredWidth();
ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = view.getLayoutParams();
lp.width = side;
lp.height = side;
view.setLayoutParams(lp);
}
});

(Sorry for my poor question. I have update it now)
How can i make it in XML file? I tried to use following code, but not correct (I used "android:rotation="-90" to do rotation.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="141dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:layout_weight="0.41"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/sidebar_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/shape_card_sidebar"
android:inputType="text"
android:rotation="-90"
android:text="I want to be like this" >
</EditText>
</FrameLayout>
You're going to run into several problems if you try to do it that way. The most obvious issue will be the incorrect measurement. Instead you should create a custom view. Something like this:
public class RotatedTextVew extends TextView {
public RotatedTextView(Context context) {
super(context);
}
public RotatedTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs)
}
public RotatedTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
super(context, attrs, defStyle);
}
#Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
// Switch dimensions
super.onMeasure(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);
}
#Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
canvas.save();
canvas.rotate(90);
super.onDraw(canvas);
canvas.restore();
}
}
I haven't actually tested this, but this is how I'd start.
Replace your FrameLayout with <Relative> or <LinearLayout>. Also set android:gravity="center" property of parent layout.
