i am using a custom notification layout. Notification layout is inside an activity. Notification layout does not fill the entire portion of the screen. It takes only 1/4 of the screen. I want to show the progress bar inside the notification layout.so my question is
How to set the position of progress bar(other than using
(ProgressDialog.getWindow().setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);)
Can we set the width and height of progress bar( atleast to the size of the layout)
Any help is highly appreciable.
"How to set the position of progress bar": use it like any other types of View (xml will be simpler).
"Can we set the width and height of progress bar( at least to the size of the layout)":
android:maxHeight An optional argument to supply a maximum height for thisview.
android:maxWidth An optional argument to supply a maximum width for this view.
android:minHeight

I currently have a textview with a paddingBottom of 20dp.
I want to reduce this padding if the text within the textView is long enough to otherwise get cut off at the bottom.
Here's a diagram illustrating the behavior I want:
However, I'm not sure where to call setPadding().
Can someone recommend me an approach for getting this behavior of a dynamic bottom padding?
I ended up creating a custom Layout that contained my textView, and overrode its onMeasure() method. The custom layout was set with height='wrap_content'.
The system passes in the available height to this layout's onMeasure() method. So here, I measured my child textView's height with
textView.onMeasure()
int preferredHeight = textView.getMeasuredHeight()
If its preferred height was larger than what my custom view had available to it (minus the bottom padding), I removed the bottom padding with setPadding(). Otherwise, I added the padding.
I thought that maximum width of a text View in android is display width of the device.I have scroll text that is extended from Linear Layout.By using animation class i can move the text, and its act like a automatic Scrolling text. My problem is the text length(String length 70) exceed the maximum width of the text view (1280 pixel). So the text 70 is show like this (...)
To make a TextView Scrollable the setMovementMethod() has to be called. However, there will be no scroll bar when scrolling it. To add a scroll bar, the android:scrollbars attribute has to be set in the layout file like this:
I have a background image on my app, and I want my listview to be in the form of a window that overlays the background image. Sort of like the the form which has a white filter in this picture:

I currently have a listview defined in xml with:
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
and a semi transparent color as its background. This is great, but it takes up the whole screen, since it fills the parent width and height. What is the best way to make it slightly smaller than the parent's dimensions so that it is say, (fill_parent - some relative value) height and width?
Use margin in a layout to make it smaller relative to the parent layout and other child's
Use a FrameLayout as a parent, then add your ListView and set width and height to wrap_content. Now it should "float" above the other views inside the FrameLayout. You can use padding and margin to set its position.
I am having problem with custom seek bar I am not getting same as i expect, I am using 2nd image as progress drawable and first as thumb, but when i use wrap content it is small and when i use fill parent it is repeating and the seek bar different from the 2nd image in the UI?
You should use Nine-path graphics. With this android will automatically resize your image based on borders you provide in graphics.
set maxHeight and minHeight of seekbar properties.
example:
maxHeight = 40dp
minHeight = 40dp
Is there any way to use screen height and width in xml builder in Android? I want to set View height to be half of screen without using view weight. Is it possible?
The best way to handle screen height and width is to set view's sizes programmatically in onCreate() method.
