Unable to Align the Views - android

This is the part of the Code of a very long Layout.So posting of whole code was of no use.
I want to align the RED circle.Both the positions are shown in the RED colored circles.
The ParentLayout of whole activity is a RelativeLayout but has nothing to do with this.
Please help me.I have tried all the things that I knew.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/texttitle"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/Layoutborder"
>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/Linearimagetop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="3dip"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:background="#drawable/image_bg"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/productimage1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/defaultimage"
android:layout_below="#+id/texttitle"
/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Availability "
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:textStyle="normal" />
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/black"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/availibility"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="In Stock"
android:textColor="#4A7023"
android:textStyle="normal"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>


Change the 3rd LinearLayout to :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="right"
android:padding="5dp" >
Not sure if you are satisfied with that kind of layout.


If this whole thing is inside a RelativeLayout, remove the outer LinearLayout (moving margins and such to the first child LinearLayout as required), and change the second child LinearLayout - the one with 5dp padding - to have
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
If you don't want to do this and have to keep the outer LinearLayout for some reason, move
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
from the parent LinearLayout to the first child, and set layout_width of the second child to fill_parent, and add android:gravity="right" to it.


The code you provided does not show where you have specified the properties of RED text "here". You could probably just add it as another element in your relative layout where you specify the availability and stock which would align it with the preceding text.
Edit: (after understanding your actual problem)
I would suggest wrapping in another linear layout which will enable you to position the text above the picture as shown in the code below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="20dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:text="Availability "
android:textStyle="normal" />
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/availibility"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="3dp"
android:text="In Stock"
android:textColor="#4A7023"
android:textStyle="normal" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/texttitle"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/Linearimagetop"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:padding="3dip" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/productimage1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/texttitle"
android:src="#drawable/button" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>


This was the Another way achieve the above Output.Hope it may help SomeOne.

How to disable or block TextView to not narrowed other elements of the Layout

I have problem with my TextView, when something is written in it. It narrows the right layout.

How to block 1st TextView to not narrows others ?

You can use layout_weight property to tell android how much space each textView takes on the screen. If you want all of them to have the same space you can add the layout_weight of 1 for all of them.
You will also need to readjust your layout_width too. You will have to trade off for the layout_heght. For example if i want 4 textviews in a horizontal line holding equal space "Horizontally" i would do something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="This is verrry long text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="maybe not" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="let us see" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView4"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="ok" />

android LinearLayout - ImageView gets pushed off the screen

I use the layout posted below to show messages by inflating that layout as a row into a ListView. The problem is that it works fine with a single-line message but when there are 2 lines or more the ImageView indicating the message state gets pushed off the screen, can't get the reason. Any ideas? Layout code and screenshot below.
That is the inflated layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="5dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvTimestamp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="TextView"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="8sp" />
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_message_holder"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/tvTimestamp"
android:background="#drawable/outgoing_bg"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvMessageOutgoing"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"
android:text="Medium Text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

change you linear layout width fill_parent
and add android:layout_weight="1" in textview

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/RelativeLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvTimestamp"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="20"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="10:20pm"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
android:textSize="8sp" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rl_message_holder"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="80" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvMessageOutgoing"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:padding="4dp"
android:singleLine="false"
android:text="android developer tutorial in the world"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:contentDescription="#string/app_name"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

This worked for me
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tvMessageOutgoing"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="4dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="Medium Tesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeessssxt"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
It gives the textview the remaining space.

Try like this
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="0.6"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgMessageState"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
</LinearLayout>
Define your image view layout inside of Linear Layout

You can use
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_launcher"

how to align text vertically center in android

I have arabic text, therefore I set gravity to right in order to start text from right side. Text starts from right now. But another issue is text starts to render from the top of the page. But I need to vertically center the text.
Although I tried several variations I couldnt make it vertically center.
Here is the sample of my xml file.
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout5"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"
android:orientation="vertical" >

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:gravity="right"
android:padding="#dimen/padding_maintextview"
android:text="#string/text"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"

</LinearLayout>
Problem is with above textview.

But I am in same situation. No text is vertically centered

Your TextView Attributes need to be something like,
<TextView ...
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center_vertical|right" ../>
Now, Description why these need to be done,
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
Makes your TextView to match_parent or fill_parent if You don't want to be it like, match_parent you have to give some specified values to layout_height so it get space for vertical center gravity. android:layout_width="match_parent" necessary because it align your TextView in Right side so you can recognize respect to Parent Layout of TextView.
Now, its about android:gravity which makes the content of Your TextView alignment. android:layout_gravity makes alignment of TextView respected to its Parent Layout.
Update:
As below comment says use fill_parent instead of match_parent. (Problem in some device.)

The problem is the padding of the font on the textview. Just add to your textview:
android:includeFontPadding="false"

just use like this to make anything to center
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
updated :
android:layout_gravity="center|right"
android:gravity="center|right"
Updated : Just remove MarginBottom from your textview.. Do like this.. for your textView
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayout5"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center|right"
android:text="hello"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>

Try to put android:gravity="center_vertical|right" inside parent LinearLayout else as you are inside RelativeLayout you can put android:layout_centerInParent="true" inside your scrollView.

In relative layout you need specify textview height:
android:layout_height="100dp"
Or specify lines attribute:
android:lines="3"

LinearLayout: TextViews at left, big ImageView at right

i'm working on a LinearLayout but unfortunately it's not working as it should.
The goal is to have a LinearLayout with two TextViews (one placed below the other) on the left side, and an ImageView on the right side.
The ImageView should be as big as possible, the TextViews should take the remaining space.
At the moment my layout XML is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout_linearlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="1dp"
android:background="#drawable/background" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/layout1label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="1234"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/layout2label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="1234_label2"
android:textSize="14dp" />
</LinearLayout>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/layout_image"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_margin="2dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
The part that isn't working: If the text in the TextViews is "too long", the ImageView gets shrinked. I want it exactly the other way round.
Any solutions?

It would be more efficient to use RelativeLayout instead of LinearLayout. Then you can place your views without having to nest layouts:
<?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" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

</RelativeLayout>
By arranging the TextViews to be relative to the ImageView instead of the other way around, the ImageView takes priority for the space, and the text works with the remainder.

this might be help to you
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/layout_linearlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_margin="1dp"
android:background="#drawable/background" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/layout1label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:singleLine="true"

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

A little modification to Kirans Code..worked for me
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/layout1label"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:text="Name: BalaVishnu"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/layout_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/edit_icon" />
</LinearLayout>

Fit two textView in LinearLayout next to an ImageView

I have this layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="#style/fill_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
android:padding="2dip">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_album"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="6dip"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:padding="5dp"
/>
<LinearLayout
style="#style/fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/img_album"
android:layout_centerVertical="true">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/album_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/picts_number"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/black"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Which gives me this image:
I dont know why I dont get the title of the album and next the number of picts.
Well, I did something using layout_weight property as:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/album_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/picts_number"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_weight="1" />
And I dont really know why, I get now the number, next to the title, as
Could someone tell me:
Why I dont get the number in the 1st scenario, but I do in the 2nd.
How to expand the text all the width of the Linearyout, so the
second Text "Smartphones..." doesnt get stretch, but fits its
parent.
Thanks!

Using the width = 0dip and weigth = 1. I did it!
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
style="#style/fill_parent"
android:background="#color/white"
android:padding="2dip">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_album"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="6dip"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:padding="5dp"
/>
<LinearLayout
style="#style/fill_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_toRightOf="#id/img_album"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:id="#+id/album_details">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/album_title"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_marginRight="30dp"
android:textSize="17sp"
android:layout_weight="1"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/picts_number"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_weight="0"
android:textSize="17sp"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

Try to make it with a FrameLayout rather than a RelativeLayout. It's really easier to build your layout with this. Something like this, but with size and style adaptation :
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/white"
android:padding="2dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/img_album"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="6dp"
android:cropToPadding="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:padding="5dp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/album_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textColor="#color/black"
android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/picts_number"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
android:textColor="#color/black"
/>
</FrameLayout>
