How to set a long title for dialog dialogfragment? - android

I want the title dialog with the name of book. The problem is with the long title, it seems the default title dialog tries to trim the extra long text in order to fit the dialog width
So I came up with the solution that removing the default title by this code
setStyle(STYLE_NO_TITLE, 0);
Replace the default with a textview widget. This is my custom dialog xml
<?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="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/dialog_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
However it just mess up the dialog layout
So could anyone me a better way to deal with that ? Thanks


You can use google to set custom view to a dialog
but don't forget to dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); :)


So in your DialogFragments onCreate you setStyle:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setStyle(DialogFragment.STYLE_NO_TITLE, R.style.Theme_Dialog);
}
You then use your own very custom xml layout to create the dialog in oncreateview().

Dialog not respecting MATCH_PARENT

I intend to display a Dialog with a custom layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/webv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginRight="#dimen/lef_margin"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/lef_margin"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgsocialauthclose"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_gravity="right|top"
android:background="#drawable/closexml" />
</FrameLayout>
Now, if I I set this layout to the dialog through, Dialog.setContentView(), I get something like below(please note that the concerned Dialog is the thine white box with a cross button in the middle and the not the one with all the social media options in the background):
Now, if I were to write this additional line in addition to the setContentView() call, I get a Dialog that extends to cover parent view:
dialog.getWindow().setLayout(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
If you observer the layout, you would notice that the MATCH_PARENT constraint has already been declared. Then, why do I need to do this additional line or,
Why doesn't the Dialog respect the MATCH_PARENT constraint properly by default?

I solved this once for a dialog fragment by adding this to onCreateDialog. This will make your dialog full screen. Then you can define margin/padding with transparent background to shape your dialog in any way you want.
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getActivity() ,android.R.style.Theme_Holo_NoActionBar);
dialog.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
then to show the dialog just use
MyDialogFragment fragment = new MyDialogFragment();
fragment.show(getChildFragmentManager(), "addPlaylistDialog");

How can I display a list view (multi level) in an Android activity dialog

include activity in dialog...activity include multi list view
please help

As I see, this is not an activity in a dialog. The Dialog itself has custom view which has title, edit text and list view.
Not sure what are u looking for....but you can create a CustomDialog like this:
custom_dialog.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="5dp" />
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parrent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
</RelativeLayout>
And in your activity create it like:
final Dialog dialog = new Dialog(context);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom);
dialog.setTitle("Title...");

Android: Background image resize on keyboard pop up [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Software keyboard resizes background image on Android
(16 answers)
Closed 6 months ago.
I am developing an application in which the background image get shrink on keyboard pop-up. My .xml is as follows :
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

I searched on Google and found that, to add
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"
in my manifest file. But its of no use.
Edit :
My Layout before key board pop up looks like :
And after pop up like:
Please check the difference in background image. In image 1 image is in size and in image 2 background image shrink-ed. I need the footer and background get shift upward on keyboard popup.
What I am missing or doing wrong please suggest me.

Just use in your onCreate() this code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
...
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.your_image_resource);
...
}
and eliminate this line in your xml:
android:background="#drawable/background"

I had faced the similar issue once, mine was solved by using the below properties in manifest use it where your activity is declared.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize|adjustPan"

Hey can you please try adding this
android:isScrollContainer="false"
in your ScrollView. It has solved my problem once. Might help u too.
Also, add this to your activity in manifest.xml
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
Hope it helps..!! :)

Ok if I got your question right, you want a layout with a background and a scrollview. And when the softkeyboard pops up, you want to resize the scrollview, but keep the background at full size right?
if that's what you want than I may have found a workaround for this issue:
What you can do is make 2 activities.
Activity 1:
public class StartActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent StartApp = new Intent(this, DialogActivity.class);
startActivity(StartApp); // Launch your official (dialog) Activity
setContentView(R.layout.start); // your layout with only the background
}
}
Activity2:
public class DialogActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DIM_BEHIND); // get rid of dimming
this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE); //get rid of title bar (if you want)
setContentView(R.layout.dialog); //Dialog Layout with scrollview and stuff
Drawable d = new ColorDrawable(Color.BLACK); //make dialog transparent
d.setAlpha(0);
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(d);
}
}
start layout:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/test"> //your background
</LinearLayout>
dialog layout:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- All your Scrollview Items -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
AndroidManifest.xml
start Activity:
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
dialog Activity
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Dialog"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:excludeFromRecents="true"
Edit:
To finish Activities at once use the following somewhere inside your DialogActivity (example: override the backbutton):
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), StartActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.putExtra("EXIT", true);
startActivity(intent);
}
and in onCreate() of StartActivity:
if (getIntent().getBooleanExtra("EXIT", false)) {
finish();
}
else {
Intent StartApp = new Intent(this, TestActivity.class);
startActivity(StartApp);
}
Screenshots!
Normal
Clicked the EditText box
After Scrolled down (ps: i put textbox inside scrollview thats why its gone ;) )
I hope this will help your out ;)

I had the same issue.
Add your outer layout background inside onCreate method as show below
getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.login_bg);
and add your outer layout as
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#4d000000"
><other code></ScrollView></RelativeLayout>
Add android:layout_weight="1" for the outer layout and don't set background in xml file
I think this helps someone

You should move the android:background="#drawable/background" in an ImageView above ScrollView. When the keyboard pops up it effectivly makes the screen smaller, and having an image as background you have no control on how it is resized/cropped.
So, assuming you want to have the image full width but keep the ascpect ratio try this:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="#drawable/background"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
/**
Other stuff
*/
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
You can try different android:scaleType values to achive your desired effect. If you want the image to be cropped from the top instead of the default middle crop, see here on how to achieve this, or try using this library

Instead of android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan", you should change to android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize". It worked for me.

Use ScrollView as Top parent.
It will be scrolled up and down automatically when you open and close keyboard.

Why don't you do like this
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:fillViewport="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:background="#drawable/background"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relative"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
/**
Other stuff
*/
>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>

You should use the adjustResize option for the windowSoftInputMode setting on the Activity in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

i am using below view heirarchy and its working fine for me:
<?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="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/rfqItemsParentScrollView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >

Android Layout : On Top it takes too much of space

In my layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/user_pswd_new_root" android:scrollbars="vertical"
android:soundEffectsEnabled="true">
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="#+id/ScrollViewLogin" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scrollbarStyle="outsideInset" android:scrollbars="vertical|horizontal" android:visibility="visible">
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ImageView android:background="#drawable/logo_login" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:padding="0dp" android:layout_margin="0dp"/>
...............
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
With the above code, I set in a Dialog and things are shown proeprly, but there is lot of unwanted space above the image which unnecessarily increases the height of the dialog. See the results :
Any idea why the top space is occupied. And how do I get rid of it. Where am I going wrong ?

It's the title of the Dialog, which is empty because you didn't specify a title (but the view is still there). You have to remove it, for example like this:
class MyDialog extends Dialog {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// make sure to call requestWindowFeature before setContentView
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.my_dialog_layout);
// other initialization code
}
// ...
}
But that depends on whether you are using a simple Dialog or an AlertDialog. If this doesn't work for you, post your dialog-creation code (Java) and I'll update my answer to show how to remove the title in your case.

Android - Customizing the title bar

I want to customize the title bar for an Android application. I have the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp" <!-- Problem here -->
android:gravity="center_vertical"
>
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/header"
android:background="#drawable/windowtitle"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
I also have a the following code in the targeted activity:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.home);
getWindow().setFeatureInt(Window.FEATURE_CUSTOM_TITLE, R.layout.window_title);
...
}
I don't understand why the height of the title bar doesn't change when changing the android:layout_height value.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!

According to this article, you should create a custom style for this. See if it works for you.

set the layout_height as wrap_content or fill_parent of the linear layout
and then try it

you can use :
getWindow().setLayout(50, 50);
of course this code use to set width and hiegth of window
