I created custom dialog and i have textview in it. Text is pretty close to edge of my dialog box, so i wonder if I can set some space between my text and left and right edge of dialog box and how ??
In your custom dialog's xml layout add the following to the root:
android:padding="10dp"
Or whichever value you see fit.
You need to create your TextView with some marginLeft and marginRight attributes.
These will put some space between your TextView and the left, right edges of the screen.
Also consider using paddingLeft, paddingRight attributes to ensure that there is some space between the border of your TextView and the actual text itself.
Look here for more information about how you can set these parameters in a TextView.

I have a hint text in center.I add an icon to edittext with android:drawableLeft. When I add like this, hint text is not aligned to the center. It is shifting.Do you have any idea ?
The behavior you are seeing is proper. If you want the Text to be always in the center, you can add a FrameLayout and in that add your image and textview separately.
Inside your FrameLayout first, add text view with gravity center and then your image with gravity start.
In a LinearLayout,there is a TextView and Button ,both of them have a same drawable for background,
and their layout_width and layout_height are both wrap_content,but ,why the button is bigger than textview?
wrap_content means wrap the conent of that component so when the textView is empty it is smaller than the button which has text in it.
Try to make the text in the button shorter and you'll see it will be smaller.
I think you have given text size or text appearance for the button...if you have given these then remove them....you will see the difference....
Just guessing your layout.....Hope this helps you
I've seen many of questions for how to add TextView in a RelativeLayout programatically, but everybody adding it in LinearLayout with orientation vertical. Can any one suggest me or give me a link that how to add multiple TextView in RelativeLayout at right until it has space and then change the line.
I want a layout like this..
May be this works for you !
You can customize chips-edittext-library for your need. Customizing by setting background to transparent, and editable to false.
-> Or you can use any other library which is used for displaying emoticon in EditText and customize it according to your need. Like android-emoticon-edittext-spike
You can use the Flow Layout library that manages the view arrangement itself.
When there is no space left the added View is moved to the next line
I have done some basic xml layout from the Internet and I am confused as to what android:gravity would be used for vs android:layout-gravity. The UI designer seems to respond well when I change the layout_gravity, but I get no response to the regular gravity? What is up with this?
Is this similar to layout parameters with fill-parent and match-parent? one is gone now.
android:gravity is a statement from a parent to its content, indicating where the content should slide within the available parent space (if there is room for such sliding).
android:layout_gravity is a request from a child to its parent, asking that it be slid in a certain direction (if there is room for such sliding).
layout_gravity - It contains and it belongs to component's parent layout. Like if you set one TextView in LinearLayout, LinearLayout's width is fill_parent, but TextView basically will set at left-top. So now if you would give layout_gravity=right then your TextView will be shifted to top-right corner. But the text will not change its place. i.e. you had been wrote "Hello world" then "hello world" will not be changed to right, but its parent textView will be changed to right. So here in this case it will belongs to LinearLayout, means parent Layout.
gravity- It contains and it belongs to TextView as per above explanation. if you will give gravity="right" then "Hello-world" text will go to right-top corner of TextView not LinearLayout.
I need to create an animation in Android. I have 3 TextViews placed in an LinearLayout. All I want to do is the text field must come on to the screen as though it has been pulled out from the left end of the screen. Something similar to a marquee, however the text field must come from left end of screen one character at a time to occupy the left end of screen.
you must textView set textview property in your xml layout android:ellipsize="marquee" and you oncreate() method to set textview like youtextview.setSelected(true); now your textview running with marquee effect perfectly work for me!
another way you can add dynamically textview in coding you can follow this code:
yourtextview.setEllipsize(TruncateAt.MARQUEE);
yourtextview.setSelected(true);
