Got my TextView in the xml:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/myTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="TextView"/>
I want to create multiple TextViews but i want to look them the same as this.
So I tried:
TextView newTextView = new TextView(this);
newTextView.setLayoutParams(myTextView.getLayoutParams());
I think this should get all the layout parameters from myTextView straigthlghly(?) from the xml, and pass them to newTextView to set them.
My problem is: Nothing happens. It does not take effect, why?
here's a sample project which shows that it works.
you can see that it works by looking at the preview of the visual editor , which looks different than what is shown at runtime.
i think that your mistake was that you didn't set 0px (or 0dp, zero is still zero) for the weighted views.
main.xml (layout) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/container">
<TextView android:id="#+id/textView1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0px" android:text="TextView1"
android:layout_weight="1" android:background="#ffff0000" />
<TextView android:id="#+id/textView2" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="TextView2"
android:background="#ff00ff00" />
</LinearLayout>
TestActivity.java :
public class TestActivity extends Activity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
final TextView tv1=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView1);
final TextView tv2=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView2);
final LayoutParams layoutParams=tv1.getLayoutParams();
tv2.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
// adding textView programatically:
final TextView tv3=new TextView(this);
tv3.setText("textView3");
tv3.setBackgroundColor(0xff0000ff);
tv3.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
final ViewGroup root=(ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.container);
root.addView(tv3);
}
}

I'm trying to inflate a LinearLayout containing a few different Textviews and a Button into a custom class that extends LinearLayout.
Here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#173BBC"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:minWidth="200dp"
android:minHeight="40dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dp"
android:visibility="visible">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView12"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/compte" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textViewCompteT"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView14"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="#string/valeur" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textViewValeurT"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="TextView" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
<Button
android:id="#+id/buttonDeleteTransaction"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:drawableTop="#android:drawable/ic_menu_delete"
android:minWidth="48dp"
android:paddingLeft="30dp"
android:paddingTop="10dp"
android:paddingRight="30dp"
android:paddingBottom="0dp"
android:textSize="0sp"
app:cornerRadius="20dp"/>
</LinearLayout>
And here is my class: (please don't take care about the names of the variables, they are bad ;) )
public class TransactionTwo extends LinearLayout {
private Context context;
private LinearLayout container;
private LinearLayout content;
private LayoutParams layoutParams;
private LayoutParams contentLayoutParams;
public TransactionTwo(Context context, Activity parent){
super(context);
activity = (Details) parent;
//here i define my layouts to make them have the fine shape.
layoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
layoutParams.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
contentLayoutParams = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
this.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
this.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
this.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
container = new LinearLayout(context);
container.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
container.setLayoutParams(contentLayoutParams);
}
public void createViews(){
//here i try to force the display of the inflated layout (which doesn't appear on screen)
content = (LinearLayout) inflate(context, R.layout.modele_transaction2, container);
content.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
content.setLayoutParams(contentLayoutParams);
container.setMinimumHeight(100);
this.addView(container);
//then i find a few textviews and set their text (which works correctly even if i can't see it)...
}
#Override
protected void onLayout(boolean b, int i, int i1, int i2, int i3) {
}
Everything seems to work correctly (at least Android doesn't raise any error), but the only trouble is that I can see the LinearLayout "TransactionTwo" having the size of the LinearLayout that I inflate in it, but I can't see the inflated one... And when I ask for the height of content and container it always answer 0. So it is as if the inflated layout was only giving its size without appearing...
If anyone knows what is wrong in my code, that would be really appreciated because I'm stucked on this issue for a long time now ;)
Thank you!
In fact it might have been a bug of Android Studio, because I made a copy of my java class and it worked this time...
I am trying to build a preference screen which consists of a Layout with some TextViews and EditText Preference.
When I use textView.setText(inputString) in the Activity, it does not overwrite the existing TextView, instead it creates a new copy of TextView with inputString as text and it overlaps with the existing TextView. Is there any way that the setText overwrites the existing TextView itself.
This is the XML Layout with the TextView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="#color/blue"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#android:id/list"
></ListView>
<TextView
android:text="TextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#color/pseudoBlack"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginStart="59dp"
android:layout_marginTop="100dp"
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />
<TextView
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#color/pseudoBlack"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/textView5"
android:layout_alignBaseline="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_marginStart="100dp" />
<TextView
android:text="TextView"
android:textColor="#color/pseudoBlack"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="43dp"
android:id="#+id/textView11"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_toEndOf="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_marginStart="21dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
And this is the Preference Screen I am using.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<Preference android:layout="#layout/inner" android:key="innerkey"
/>
<Preference android:key="mskey"
android:title="show"
/>
<EditTextPreference android:key="editpref"
android:title="Add"
/>
</PreferenceScreen>
This is the Activity Class in which I am trying to do setText().
package com.example.asus.layoutcheck;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.preference.Preference;
import android.preference.PreferenceActivity;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class SecondaryActivity extends PreferenceActivity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.inner);
TextView txt1 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView2);
TextView txt2 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView5);
TextView txt3 = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.textView11);
txt1.setText("First Text");
txt2.setText("Second Text");
txt3.setText("Third Text");
final String message = "This is the message" ;
addPreferencesFromResource(R.xml.pref);
final Preference msg = findPreference("mskey");
msg.setOnPreferenceClickListener(new Preference.OnPreferenceClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onPreferenceClick(Preference preference) {
msg.setSummary(message);
return true;
}
});
Preference edit = findPreference("editpref");
}
}
I have added the screenshot of the result.
How can I overcome this Issue?Thanks in advance
replace setContentView(R.layout.inner); with addPreferencesFromResource(//your preferenceScreen);
I've encountered this similar issue, and it happens with other view as well like a TextureView inside a FrameLayout. I resized my TextureView smaller and I can still see the previous TextureView in the back flickering.
What made it work is funny -> I just put a black background color (probably any color) to my layout (LinearLayout) and it is working fine now.
I added: android:background="#000000"
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#000000"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:visibility="visible"
tools:context=".CameraActivity">
It seems the background is not cleared, if it doesn't know what color to clear it with.
Normally null pointer exceptions seem to be view related - where the wrong layout is targeted.
This is different I reckon. I have four textviews in a layout and one returns a null, the rest work fine. Here is the layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hello" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/text2"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="stringello2" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="ip"
android.id="#+id/iptest"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hostname"
android:id="#+id/hostname"
/>
</LinearLayout>
And here is the test code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity
{
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
protected TextView text;
protected TextView ip;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
text.setText("goodbye");
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.hostname);
text.setText("hostname flibble");
// text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text2);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.iptest);
text.setText("ip flibble");
}
}
If I switch the comment to the other textview, it works fine. If I target iptest it returns null and raises an exception.
Any ideas why? All four appear in gen and they all reappear if I delete gen and recompile.
in your TextView Tag
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="ip"
android.id="#+id/iptest"
/>
you had taken a .(dot) instead of :(colon)
android.id="#+id/iptest"
shoulb de like this
android:id="#+id/iptest"
Moreover please clean your project regularly.
your R class is not holding iptest reference . android.id="#+id/iptest" is wrong . It should be android:id
I am trying to create a icon and a short description below it. I have created a customised View class with a ImageView and a TextView and i integrated it with my xml file, now the imageView and the default text appears in the screen,i don't know how to change the text content of the textview or the source of the imageview.
MyView.java
package sda.jk;
public class MyView extends LinearLayout{
public MyView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
super(context, attrs);
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
LayoutInflater li=(LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View v= li.inflate(R.layout.myview, this);
}
}
myview.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" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="my view"/>
</LinearLayout>
main.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/sda.jk"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<sda.jk.MyView
android:id="#+id/myView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</sda.jk.MyView>
</LinearLayout>
Step-1 First assign id to image view and text view in myview. xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/myImage"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/myText"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="my view"/>
</LinearLayout>
Step-2
initialize your own view in oncreate method using
MyView mv = (MyView)findViewById(R.id.myView1);
step-3
initilize image view and text view using findViewById method of your own view
TextView textView = (TextView) mv.findViewById(R.id.myText);
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) mv.findViewById(R.id.myImage);
step-4
set text to text view using setText method
textView.setText("Sunil Kumar Sahoo");
set background image to image view using
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
Your oncreate method will be like the following (from step-2 to step-4)
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
MyView mv = (MyView)findViewById(R.id.myView1);
TextView textView = (TextView) mv.findViewById(R.id.myText);
textView.setText("Sunil Kumar Sahoo");
ImageView imageView = (ImageView) mv.findViewById(R.id.myImage);
imageView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher);
}
You write a function in sda.jk.MyView for setting text. For changing text, just call the function with a string parameter
Class MyView extends LinearLayout
{
//...
public void setUserText(String str)
{
textview.setText(str);
}
//...
}
You can add custom attributes by writing a custom attr.xml and loading the attributes in your custom view's constructor. For a full example check this page
http://javawiki.sowas.com/doku.php?id=android:custom-view-attributes
There is a useful feature in TextView called compund drawables, which allows you to incorporate a drawable to be drawn above, below, left or right of your text.
use it like so:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txt"
android:text="my compound drawable textview"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableTop="#drawable/xxxxx" />
you can use drawableBottom, drawableLeft etc.. as well.
this way you don't need to implement your own class.
For accessing individual elements from a View hierarchy, use the findViewById method. Refer to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#findViewById%28int%29
You would have to provide identifiers to your view elements in your XML thus:
<?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" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imgView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ic_launcher" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="my view" />
</LinearLayout>
and refer them from your custom view class thus:
ImageView imageView = (ImageView)v.findViewById(R.id.imgView);
TextView textView = (TextView)v.findViewById(R.id.txtView);
Typically, you would like to keep the views as instance variables (members) so that you can change them from other methods.
i am a new developer in android.i got problem with layouts in android.
i have used three layouts in main.xml as follows
main.xml
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:gravity="center" android:background="#drawable/tabmessage" android:id="#+id/linearLayout01">
<TextView android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000" android:text="layout1">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="200dip" android:background="#ff0000" android:id="#+id/linearLayout03">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60dip"
android:gravity="center" android:background="#drawable/tabmessage" android:id="#+id/linearLayout02">
<TextView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000" android:text="layout2" android:id="#+id/textView2">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
i have done a class as follows
MyClass.java
public class MyShout extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
LinearLayout layout1=((LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout01));
LinearLayout layout2=((LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout02));
LinearLayout layout3=((LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.linearLayout03));
}
}
here i would like to add layout1 to layout3.how can i add layout1 to layout3 at run time? please help me.....
You can do
layout3.addView(layout1);
//or
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = new //setup here positioning rules
layout3.addView(layout1, params);
You can not do like this.
You can do as:
<LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
