I would like add a listview or tableview occupy 2/3 of the screen and then there would a giant button at the center just beneath the listview. Right now the problem is the listview take up the whole height of the screen. I couldn't adjust the height on the graphical layout. I would like to take up only 5 Items height size. Beneath would be button center on screen,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:padding="3dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ListView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"></ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/relativeLayout"
android:padding="3dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ListView android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_above="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"></ListView>
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"></Button >
</RelativeLayout>
From what you said in your question, it sounds like a vertical LinearLayout would work better for you.
That way you could have the ListView take up exactly two thirds of the screen by placing two views inside the top level LinearLayout, and use weights to distribute the views on the screen.
For example:
<?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" >
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="2" >
</ListView>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

I am trying to make a layout where there are a LinearLayout and inside it I want a FrameLayout and a button.
I want the button to use the bottom of the linearlayout and to use the maximum width and the enough height for the button, using wrap content.
The other component, the FrameLayout I want to use it the remaining part of the screen.
How can I do it?
Here it the layout so far..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:text="#string/Capture" />
</LinearLayout>
Is not showing the button :s
Thanks alot in advance ;)
Better to work out with relative layout with button aligned to parent bottom and your frame layout above it occupying the rest space of the screen.Like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
use the following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_capture"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:onClick="snapIt"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:text="capture" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/camera_preview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button_capture"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
i am just trying to make these layout, after compare my layout code and your layout code, i find a different code, there is in my code. Did you missing it or just move it away cause it useless from the layout code ?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Button" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#id/flayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/hello_world">
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
I am trying to achieve the below layout in my Android Application.
I achieved this layout by using a custom List Adapter. But the problem is with the empty space in the bottom. Is it possible to make the ListView items be evenly spaced to occupy the entire screen height.
One alternative is to use LinearLayout with WeightSum. But with this approach, how will I be able to place textView and the arrow image in the same row.
Any suggestion to achieve this layout and evenly distribute row height would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Main Activity XML:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#color/startscreen_background"
tools:context=".StartScreen" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/start_lv_menu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:divider="#color/startscreen_listitem_divider"
android:dividerHeight="0px" >
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
List Item Layout:
<?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/startscreen_tv_item"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/startscreen_listitem_height"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/startscreen_listitem_paddingleft"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
android:textColor="#color/startscreen_listitem_textcolor"

<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2px"
android:background="#color/startscreen_listitem_divider" />
</LinearLayout>
You can use android:layout_height="fill_parent" in your Main Activity XML:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#color/startscreen_background"
tools:context=".StartScreen" >
<ListView
android:id="#+id/start_lv_menu"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:divider="#color/startscreen_listitem_divider"
android:dividerHeight="0px" >
</ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
Did you tried giving the layout_height="match_parent" to your ListView ?
I have a ListView which has two columns and what I want is to center that ListView in a Linerlayout. Here is the layout code of the ListView.
<?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:gravity="center" >
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:id="#+id/mylist">
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
And here is the layout of the individual items of the ListView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/prayLabel"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/prayValue"
android:layout_width="100dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
Although my ListView is appearing vertically centered, but it's not appearing horizontally centered as its width is spanning the entire width of the screen. I guess as I used wrap_content in the layout_width in all the places its width should not span the entire width of the screen/layout?
Thanks
I would wrap it in a RelativeLayout for simplicity- I struggle with this too and end up doing this on simpler layouts**:
<?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">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- Note the 'centre in parent' tag below -->
<ListView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:id="#+id/mylist"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
** Disclaimer: This pattern can become expensive on more complex views but a LinearLayout > RelativeLayout > ListView hierarchy is just fine.
You can use android:weightSum on your linear layout and then use empty views either side to center your ListView as follows:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:weightSum="1">
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".05"/>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list_view"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".9"
android:paddingLeft="4dp"
android:paddingRight="4dp" />
<View
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight=".05"/>
</LinearLayout>
of course you can adjust the weights, jsut make sure the Views are set the same so the ListView is centered.
I have a vertical scrollable layout with lots of items, working fine.
I am trying to place a new linearlayout to the bottom of the screen that would NOT be part of the scrollable layout.
That is, it would sit on the buttom (like an adview) independent of the scrollable part.
I was only able to place it inside the scrollView. How can I place it below, so it would always visible ?
Use a RelativeLayout, and organize it like this:
<?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:orientation="vertical" >
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_above="#+id/linearLayoutThatDoesNotScroll" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutWithLotofContent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linearLayoutThatDoesNotScroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The trick is in the ScrollView placement, at the same time it is aligned with the top of the screen AND above the lower, fixed, LinearLayout. It just works.
something like this :)
<?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" >
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/bottom"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="10dip" />
</LinearLayout>
You will add your bottom content to the bottom linearLayout with the android:id=bottom :)
If you used a vertical LinearLayout to hold the scrollable layout, then you could add the adview to the LinearLayout below the scrollable layout and it would appear at the bottom of the screen. (assuming your weights are set correctly,and the scroll layout is set to WRAP_CONTENT)
A RelativeLayout would allow you to set the adview to align itself with the bottom of the scrollable layout as well, but you would still need to make sure the scrollable layout was set to WRAP_CONTENT so it didn't automatically take up the entire screen.
<?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" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/dialogButtonOK"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text=" Ok "
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/button_style"
/>
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:id="#+id/scrView"
android:layout_above="#id/dialogButtonOK"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
>
<HorizontalScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="*"
android:id="#+id/main_table" >
</TableLayout>
</HorizontalScrollView>
</ScrollView>
</RelativeLayout>
This is worked for me
Im not very good in creating android layouts so I am not able to align the button to the bottom in the MainView.
Picture:
Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv_pizza" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1"></ListView>
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/bt_add"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="hinzufügen"></Button>
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/relativeLayout2" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Please help
This works for a linear layout, note the layout_weight 1 on the list -- that's what pushes the button to the bottom:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv_pizza"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<Button android:id="#+id/bt_add"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="hinzufügen" />
</LinearLayout>
This then looks like this in the UI editor:
Hi you can set like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/linearLayout1" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView android:id="#+id/lv_pizza" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/bt_add" android:layout_height="fill_parent" ></ListView>
<Button android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="#+id/bt_add"
android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="hinzufügen"></Button>
</RelativeLayout>
Removing the RelativeLayout will push the button to bottom of the screen...
Use a layout_weight for the components inside the LinearLayout. If the ListView has a weight of 1.0, it should push the button to the bottom. I've done this with a ScrollLayout and it works well, allowing the component inside the scroll layout to actually scroll. You could put your ListView into a ScrollLayout to let it grow beyond the visible size.
Also, the second relativelayout also isn't necessary as it doesn't add anything.
You can set a marginTop in the Button until the bottom or change the layout to relative and set the position.
