Setting the size of an Imageview in a dynamic Linearlayout - android

I am dynamically creating a linearlayout and adding some imageviews and textviews to it.
Code
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout llay = new LinearLayout(this);
for(int i =0;i<ns;i++){
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(100,100,50));
llay.addView(tv);
llay.addView(iv);
}
On running the application
1st device : The imageviews are of appropriate size.
2nd device : the imageviews are too small.
Is there any way, I can get away with setting the size of the imageview explicity so that it becomes device independent?

Try This....
If your app for diff size density use display height/width instead of fix value.
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int height = display.getHeight()/10;
int width = display.getWidth()/5;
ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);
LinearLayout llay = new LinearLayout(this);
for(int i =0;i<ns;i++){
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width,height,0));
llay.addView(tv);
llay.addView(iv);
}

It's recommend to use dp instead of px.
For more information about dp vs px you can visit Support multiple screens
In your case, you set the value in pixels. If you want to work with dp you can use the following:
float x = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 100, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

Android Studio ImageView

I'm trying to create, resize and add an imageView and I've been looking for a solution to this all over but nothing works properly, every time I set any kind of Param the image doesn't appear anymore or the app crashes, I'm using Android Studio 1.0.1 and this are the methods I've tried:
This one the image disapear
TableRow tableInfoCont = new TableRow(MainActivity.this);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(MainActivity.this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.simpleAvatar);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams imgPar = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
imgPar.width = 50;
imgPar.height = 50;
imgPar.setMargins(5,5,5,5);
imageView.setLayoutParams(imgPar);
tableInfoCont.addView(imageView);
This one the image disapear
TableRow tableInfoCont = new TableRow(MainActivity.this);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(MainActivity.this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.simpleAvatar);
FrameLayout.LayoutParams imgPar = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(FrameLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
imgPar.width = 50;
imgPar.height = 50;
imgPar.setMargins(5,5,5,5);
imageView.setLayoutParams(imgPar);
tableInfoCont.addView(imageView);
This one the app crashes
TableRow tableInfoCont = new TableRow(MainActivity.this);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(MainActivity.this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.simpleAvatar);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams imgPar = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
imgPar.width = 50;
imgPar.height = 50;
//imgPar.setMargins(5,5,5,5); //not possible to set margin
imageView.setLayoutParams(imgPar);
tableInfoCont.addView(imageView);
This one the app crashes
TableRow tableInfoCont = new TableRow(MainActivity.this);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(MainActivity.this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.simpleAvatar);
imageView.getLayoutParams().width = 50;
imageView.getLayoutParams().height = 50;
tableInfoCont.addView(imageView);
That is it, tryed all this methods... Any idea what am I missing here?
Keep in mind that is discouraged to create Layout in code.
Also try to let a simple ImageView show up first before you go with a TableView.
Try this code :
TableLayout tableLayout = new TableLayout(this);
TableRow tableRow = new TableRow(this);
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.simpleAvatar);
tableRow.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
tableRow.addView(imageView);
tableLayout.addView(tableRow);
setContentView(tableLayout);
Take into consideration that in such expressions you specify height and width in pixels, not in dp. Your picture may disappear just because it's wider or higher than your tablerow is (check your tablerow's layout parameters). Set your image's width and height to match_parent and check up how it feels.
Try using imageView.requestLayout() after you commit some changes in LayoutParams. This makes the View re-read the layout for changes.

Adding images to one line in layout with ratio

I am doing an android app that have images which are located besides each other,
every image has its own width, I want to add these images in one line to fit the screen width,
with the same ratio for every one
I wrote code to add this images but still to know how to set the width programmatically
ImageView view = new ImageView(this);
view.setImageResource(R.drawable.a1);
ImageView view1 = new ImageView(this);
view1.setImageResource(R.drawable.a2);
ImageView view2 = new ImageView(this);
view2.setImageResource(R.drawable.a3);
LinearLayout my_root = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.root_layout);
LinearLayout child = new LinearLayout(this);
child.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
child.addView(view);
child.addView(view1);
child.addView(view2);
my_root.addView(child);
only image 1 and 2 appear but the third didn't appear because the width of screen finished
Any help !!
Thank you :)
You must need to use weight parameter to do this.
Try below code:
ImageView view = new ImageView(this);
view.setImageResource(R.drawable.a1);
view.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
ImageView view1 = new ImageView(this);
view1.setImageResource(R.drawable.a2);
view1.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
ImageView view2 = new ImageView(this);
view2.setImageResource(R.drawable.a3);
view2.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, 1f));
Use Layout Parameters to set height and Width of views at runtime.
like this
LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(50, 50);
view .setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

How to set height and width for Relative Layout through code

I want to add one imageView, TextView in a Relative Layout with background image through programmatically.I spedified height and width for the relative layout but it is not fitting to the specified width and height. where am going wrong ploesae help
Thanks in advance
here is my Code:
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp_topheader = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(800,45);
relative_topheader = new RelativeLayout(this);
relative_topheader.setLayoutParams(lp_topheader);
relative_topheader.setId(1);
Resources resources_topheader = getResources();
Drawable drawable_topheader = resources_topheader.getDrawable(R.drawable.headerbar_m);
relative_topheader.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable_topheader);
setContentView(relative_topheader);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp_banner = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(385, 206);
relative_banner = new RelativeLayout(this);
relative_banner.setId(2);
relative_banner.setLayoutParams(lp_banner);
lp_banner.setMargins(40, 40, 0, 0);
lp_banner.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW,1);
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
iv.setLayoutParams(lp_banner);
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.banner_image);
iv.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
setContentView(iv, lp_banner);
The root view (that is, the view that you set as the content view) always fill the entire area of the window. If you want it to take only a certain part, add it to another Layout that will take the entire window.
Try this instead of the last line:
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this);
ll.addView(iv, lp_banner);
setContentView(ll);

Why setMinimumHeight and setMinimumWidth do not change the size of image?

I am making a puzzle game for which I have to display 16 images (4 X 4) on the screen at the same time. I am trying to set the height and width of images but no value of hieght and width is changing the image size. Moreover only 4 images are appearing instead of 16 images. I am using the folloing code to display images:
public void display()
{
LinearLayout llMain = new LinearLayout(this);
for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
{
LinearLayout llRow = new LinearLayout(this);
for(int j=i*4;j<tiles.length/4;j++)
{
ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
iv.setImageBitmap(tiles[j]);
iv.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
iv.setMaxHeight(tileHeight);
iv.setMaxWidth(tileWidth);
iv.setMinimumHeight(tileHeight);
iv.setMinimumWidth(tileWidth);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
iv.setLayoutParams(params);
llRow.addView(iv);
}
llMain.addView(llRow);
}
setContentView(llMain);
}
Can somebody please tell me that What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Try using the layout_weight attribute of LinearLayout to divide the screen into the parts you need. The ratio of the values you set to the different parts makes the parts become bigger or smaller.

android layout - WRAP_CONTENT from right to left possible?

I have a TextView and an ImageButton in a linear layout (horizontal). Total width I have is 300 pixel. Button image is 50x50. Max width I can use for text is 250. The code below works perfect if the text width is less than 250 pixels (WRAP_CONTENT work nice).
// create relative layout for the entire view
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
layout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
// create TextView for the title
TextView titleView = new TextView(this);
titleView.setText(title);
layout.addView(titleView);
// add the button onto the view
bubbleBtn = new ImageButton(this);
bubbleBtn.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
layout.addView(bubbleBtn);
Problem comes when the text occupies more than 250 pixels. Button gets pushed out and becomes invisible within that 300 pixel space.
What I want is this: Allocate 50 pixels width for the image. WRAP_CONTENT in the remaining 250 pixels. In other words, instead of filling in from left, fill in from the right. Is Gravity the right thing to use in this context? How and where should I use it in the code?
Or any other better way of doing this?
Use a RelativeLayout instead of a LinearLayout. Set the LayoutParams of each View as follows:
// add the button onto the view
bubbleBtn = new ImageButton(this);
bubbleBtn.setId(1); // should set this using a ids.xml resource really.
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams bbLP = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
bbLP.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
bbLP.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL);
layout.addView(bubbleBtn, bbLP);
// create TextView for the title
TextView titleView = new TextView(this);
titleView.setText(title);
titleView.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams tvLP = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
tvLP.addRule(RelativeLayout.LEFT_OF, 1);
tvLP.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_VERTICAL);
layout.addView(titleView, tvLP);
