I want to create a view like image below. My implementation has some linearLayouts. One root with a custom drawable to get the rounded edges and then others for the two textviews and view divider. Is there a faster and easier way to do this?
You can do this with just 1 LinearLayout, the root one. The LinearLayout is used just to order other views. So, what you need to do is to use the vertical orientation and add two text views.
On the first one you set the background color to a light gray. And remember to use the gravity as center so your text will be placed on the center of the text view.
I dont have much time, just tried to give a quick sample. Here's my code for your question:
your_main_layout.xml
<?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"
android:background="#drawable/your_bg.xml">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="my text" />
<View
android:id="#+id/seperator
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/tv1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="2nd text here"
android:layout_below="#+id/seperator" />
</RelativeLayout>
your_bg.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="5dp"
/>
<solid android:color="#fff" />
<stroke android:color="#000" />
</shape>

I'm making an easy chatting app and I made a .9.png pic as the speech bubble. Here's a part of the message item layout XML (the bubble sent by user):
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/right_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:background="#drawable/bg_send">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/right_msg"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:textColor="#color/abc_primary_text_material_dark"/>
</LinearLayout>
The #drawable/bg_send is a 102px*102px .9.png file at app\res\. I thought it should be small displaying on my 5" 1920*1080 phone. But it's bigger than it should be and that caused blurring.
What should I do if I want to make it as I wish?
Instead of using .9.png use the drawable images instead. Here is the xml code that will fulfill your requirement.
res/drawable/bg_textview.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#607D8B"/>
<corners android:radius="30dp"/>
</shape>
The image stretches to the size of of your LinearLayout (for which it is the background). The margin around the TextView makes the LinearLayout bigger. Move the android:layout_margin="10dp" attribute to the LinearLayout to have a margin around the bubble.
Try this one
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/right_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/right_msg"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/bg_send"
android:textColor="#color/abc_primary_text_material_dark"/>
Good luck
I have two clickable text views with the same drawable left image. When I open fragment first time the first image looks bigger then second one. After clicking on first text view the next fragment is opening and then when I return back two images have the same size. What's wrong? Please help to find out reason of this bug.
This is my layout:
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<RelativeLayout

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true">
<TextView
style="#style/DashBtnStyle"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/lawyer_selected"
android:text="#string/dmv_lawyers"
android:textAllCaps="false" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/add_friends_padding_left"
android:src="#drawable/add" />
</RelativeLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/divider"
android:background="#color/lineColor" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/tlcLawyers"

</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This is image drawable (lawyer_selected.xml), where femida is png image, and white background is needed for selected state (button in selected state is green and image should be with white frame):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<padding
android:bottom="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"
android:left="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"
android:right="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"
android:top="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
<corners
android:radius="#dimen/dash_icon_radius"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/femida"/>
</layer-list>
Image femida.png
Just use nested LinearLayout instead and use android:layout_weight="1" or any required value to you and it will work for sure.
**In your case it will be 1 only, while the main parent LinearLayout can have wrap_content as height
I am trying a simple application where I wanted to show some values within a circle. I referred some article and using shape files I can able to generate circle.
But I am not able to add TextView within that circle.
Can anyone help me in solving this?
here is my shape file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval" >
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>
here is my layout file.
//<RelaiveLayout> outer RelativeLayout
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/eDeleted"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"

<View android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle"/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
I want to add a TextView within View.
Try this:
<TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="text"
android:background="#drawable/circle"
android:gravity="center"/>
I hope this can help you
View cannot contain child views, only ViewGroup can do that. LinearLayout is a ViewGroup, so, you can replace your View with a TextView and try setting a background on your layout or text view itself.
I try to find a nice(r) solution to my current layout problem:
I have a LinearLayout with 2 TextViews and 2 ImageViews and of each pair of views (text or image) one can be selected which should be displayed as a bottom border / underline.
Right now I use the following approach: I wrap every single one of those views in another LinearLayout and use like this as background (background is my bottom border):
drawable\preferred_border:
<item
android:bottom="1dp"
android:left="-3dp"
android:right="-3dp"
android:top="-3dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/nd_blue" />
<solid android:color="#00FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
(it's a "hack" I found on stackoverflow to add a bottom border)
This approach works very nice but has one disadvantage: The distance between text/image and it's border is done via a paddingBottom of the innermost view (the border is set as a background in yet another wrapping LinearLayout). Now if the text and the images have not the same height, the bottom borders don't align in their vertical position!
Example of how it looks in my app:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/wrapper_one"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
android:background="#drawable/preferred_border">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/one"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="#string/one"
android:paddingBottom="12dp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/wrapper_two"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
android:background="#drawable/preferred_border">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/twot"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="#string/two"
android:paddingBottom="12dp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Same for the pair of ImageViews except it's obviously using an ImageView. The whole stuff is also packed into one RelativeLayout.
Right now I try to align them as best as I can by adjusting the padding and image sizes a little bit, but it is not a nice way to do this. I was hoping there is a clean solution using good layout skills in android :p
Thanks for any help / advice!
I've searched around online for a solution to this problem and have tried out different ways of doing this but haven't come up with an answer. I have a list view and a custom row layout for the rows of the list. In my list row xml file there is a relative layout with an ImageView and text. Along with that I set the background of this relative layout to a certain shape and this works fabulous. Now at runtime I want to change this list row background to appear pressed inwards ( I was thinking just make the padding a little smaller or something). I have tried making another xml file for a pressed shape but it hasn't worked. I also tried to code this up by doing something such as this:
RelativeLayout rl = (RelativeLayout)view.findViewById(R.id.relativerow);
rl.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.item_shape_pressed);
I'm guessing I'd have to make my own onPressed method for this to work?
Here is the shape xml file I am using for each list row background:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/item_shape">
<padding android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFF" />
</shape>
Here is the XML for each row in the list view. See where I sit the background attribute at the top.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relativerow"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/item_shape"
android:padding="5dip" >
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="3dip"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_image"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"/>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/articletitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/thumbnail"
android:textColor="#040404"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/articldesc"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/articletitle"
android:textColor="#343434"
android:textSize="13sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_marginTop="1dip"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/thumbnail"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
So, is there any way for me at runtime to change the background in this relative view from the normal item_shape to another pressed in item shape? If anyone could show me how to do this I would certainly appreciate it. This is just a small part of the app that has been bugging me recently but it would be a nice touch to make the app look more complete.
Try with create your own selector for the ListView, for example listview_item_selector.xml in res/drawable folder and add this selector in the background of your RelativeLayout.
The following code will be: listview_item_selector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/item_shape_pressed" android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/item_shape_focused" android:state_focused="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/item_shape" />
</selector>
And in your RelativeLayout put:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relativerow"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/listview_item_selector"
android:padding="5dip" >
