I have a wierd problem.
I define a LinearLayout with vertical orientation.
I define an ImageView and another custom View.
if I add the custom one and then the image, all is fine and I see both of them.
if I add the image one first, I see only the image.
I try any variation of LayoutParams and nothing worked.
what I'm doing wrong here?
Edit - I even tried some default button to check its not my custom view that causing this
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
layout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
ImageView image = new ImageView(getApplicationContext());
image.setImageDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.image_strip));
Button button = new Button(getApplicationContext());
button.setText("test");
layout.addView(image, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
layout.addView(button, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
setContentView(layout);
}
I found a way, but its still has an issue.
I used RelativeLayout, and aligned the button to the bottom of the parent (the layout) and I set the image to be above the button.
now I see both of them, but the problem now is that the image width also shrinks
How big is your image? If its bigger than the view area, its going to push the button off screen. If the button is first, you'll see it. If the button is after the image, you won't. That would be my first guess. You could wrap the whole thing (the parent LinearLayout) in a ScrollView to see if its doing that. If so, you'll need to clip the image somehow.
If the image is bigger than the screen size, try the following. Create the parent LL as you have it, then create a ScrollView and add the image inside that. Set the layout_weight of the ScrollView to 1 (or whatever), and DON'T set the layout_weight of the button. This should force the ScrollView to take up as much space as possible, but leave room for the button, and allow you to scroll to see the image.
I don't have good code off hand for doing this in code. I do most layout in XML (and not to pontificate, but I'd suggest the same for you ;)
<ProgressBar
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:id="#+id/myprogress"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:visibility="gone"
style="#android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.ProgressBar.Small"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/title" />
<ImageView
android:layout_height="165dp"
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="125dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:visibility="invisible"
android:layout_marginTop="-30dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>
Check for the above layout of progressbar and imageview. What I wanted was to overlap the imageview over progressbar and I achieved the same by setting android:layout_marginTop="-30dp" to imageview

I have a TextView and it is on an image. When I click the button, TextView's background color will change, but image won't disappear. For example:
My TextView at the beginning:
When I click a button:
If you want to do this using only one TextView then its may be not possible. So, I will suggest you to do this using FrameLayout. you can write your layout as below.
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="" />
</FrameLayout>
When you want to change the color behind the TextView then change the ImageView background as below...
ImageView mageView view = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
If it must be a TextView and an ImageView you could also wrap it within a FrameLayout (which is supposed to contain only one child). A FrameLayout will place all containing children elements on the same "place", so the get overlapped.
Or when you need more elements, you could also use a RelativeLayout and give your elements the same layout rules (e.g. all centered).
You should use ImageView instead of TextView, the:
public void onClick(View v){
imageView.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
}
ImageButton is better option for you.Image source will be star as u said.then onclick you change the background. if want set Text in this
android:drawableTop="#drawable/any_drawable"
android:text="#string/any_text"
Allow me to explain. I have :
a button with picture (located at #drawable/pic),
linear layout (id=linear1)
the button xml is below :
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/imageButton1"
android:layout_width="80dp"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/pic"
android:maxWidth="80dp"
android:maxHeight="80dp"
tools:ignore="ContentDescription" />
the linear layout xml is as follow :
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="80dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:ignore="UselessLeaf" >
what i want is, when i click the button i want to create/generate imageview programatically inside the linearlayout and i want to fill it with the same picture for the button (pic). The code is below :
//initiate imageview
ImageView img=new ImageView(this);
//get drawable from button
Drawable blabla=btn1.getDrawable();
//set drawable to imageview
img.setImageDrawable(blabla);
//set height and width of imageview to 50dp
LinearLayout.LayoutParams parms = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(50,50);
img.setLayoutParams(parms);
img.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
//place imageview to linearlayout
layoutTempat.addView(img);
The code works fine with displaying the imageview with the same image as the button have.
however the problem is : when i set the imageview to 50dp programatically, the image inside button changed too.. how can it happened ? i am so confused as iam a newbie..
Thanks before.
The two views are sharing the same drawable.
It's plausible your manipulations on one view are being sent to the underlying drawable, effecting how its displayed in the other view -- frankly I don't know. But assuming the case is as you described, this problem is easily fixed by cloning the drawable as follows:
Drawable dr = btn1.getDrawable().getConstantState().newDrawable();
img.setImageDrawable(dr);
I'm trying to create a list of clickable image buttons w/ text that fit inside a HorizontalScrollView. The images/content will be set programmatically. The best way to do this seemed to be a LinearLayout, that then contained a series of RelativeLayouts that contained the views to display the relevant content. However, I'm having trouble getting space between each RelativeLayout. Even though I've set margins in xml and programmatically they seem to be ignored and the RelativeLayout objects are squished together.
Some code:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/details_image_button"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:background="#00ff78">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/loadable_image_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/details_text_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#b083ef"
android:text="PH - Info about title"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
/>
//Code below is looped through several times
RelativeLayout imageButtonLayout = (RelativeLayout) inflater.inflate(R.layout.details_image_button, null);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams imageButtonLayoutParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(100, 100);
imageButtonLayoutParams.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
imageButtonLayout.setLayoutParams(imageButtonLayoutParams);
The current result that I am getting is a solid green (background color of the RelativeLayout) rather than the expected result of a group of RelativeLayouts with a space between each. How can I best get a margin or buffer between each RelativeLayout?
If your RelativeLayout is inside a LinearLayout, the LayoutParams you need to use would be LinearLayout.LayoutParams:
RelativeLayout imageButtonLayout = (RelativeLayout)
inflater.inflate(R.layout.details_image_button, null);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams imageButtonLayoutParams = new
LinearLayout.LayoutParams(100, 100);
imageButtonLayoutParams.setMargins(10, 10, 10, 10);
imageButtonLayout.setLayoutParams(imageButtonLayoutParams);
LayoutParams come from the parent, not the child.
I need to create one full screen android activity programatically as shown in the image below:
The two buttons should remain at the bottom of the screen.
Dummy content will consist of different components (textviews, radio buttons, checkboxes...) and will be populated dynamically.
This is the code I have so far:
//Main Layout
FrameLayout lLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
lLayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#0099cc"));
lLayout.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
//Navigation layout
LinearLayout l = new LinearLayout(this, null, R.style.ButtonBar);
LayoutParams bottomLayout = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
l.setLayoutParams(bottomLayout);
l.setGravity(Gravity.BOTTOM | Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);
l.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#66000000"));
l.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
LayoutParams buttLayout = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//previous section button
previousButton = new Button(this);
previousButton.setLayoutParams(buttLayout);
previousButton.setText("Previous section");
previousButton.setOnClickListener(this);
l.addView(previousButton);
//next section button
Button nextButton = new Button(this);
nextButton.setLayoutParams(buttLayout);
nextButton.setText("Next section");
nextButton.setOnClickListener(this);
l.addView(nextButton);
//add components
TextView tView = new TextView(this);
tView.setText("Dummy text");
tView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
lLayout.addView(tView);
lLayout.addView(l);
setContentView(lLayout);
Here is what the code produces:
Tthere are several points that do not work as intended:
1. Buttons are at the top and not the bottom.
2. Buttons do not spread out nicely
3. TextView I added as a test is shown behind the buttons. I will have many different widgets on the screen and expect them to be larger than one screen. I would like to have a scroll option but with all those widgets not to be seen behind the two buttons that are supposed to be at the bottom of the screen.
The following xml is exactly what you would need:
<?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" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/dynamiclayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="#+id/navigationlayout"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/navigationlayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:text="Previous Section" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:text="Next Section" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Now programatically inflate dynamiclayout and add all your dynamic views into it.
Your root view is a FrameLayout, which is intended for only one child View. It is also frequently used to create overlapping Views, as all of a FrameLayout's children will be drawn in the same place on screen.
Replace your FrameLayout with a RelativeLayout. Make sure you update your LayoutParams references to use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams. You will also need to set the navigation LinearLayout to align with the parent View's bottom like so:
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lps = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
lps.addRule(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, true);
Though I really would suggest using XML. It will make your life far simpler.
I'm trying to center a custom view in relative layout. This image rotates so it needs to be in the center of the layout so it doesn't go out of the layout bounds. Right now its displaying in the top left corner. Here is my code:
container = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.lay_container);
bmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.getResources(), R.drawable.charlie_sheen);
rotate_view = new RotationView(this, bmap);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
rotate_view.setLayoutParams(params);
container.addView(rotate_view);
Here is my relative xml layout
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/lay_container"
android:layout_width="200dip"
android:layout_height="200dip"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_1"
android:layout_marginRight="45dp"
android:layout_marginTop="56dp"
android:padding="10dip" />
Do you have any ideas? I know that there is probably a simple solution to this problmem, but I can't seem to find the answer. Setting the LayoutParameter to center should center the view in the layour right?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
Overall the code to add the custom view looks correct. This may be a weak suggestion, but to rule out any issues that may have been cause by the view customization you could try modifying the code in one of two ways.
Option 1: Use the explicit form of addRule(), i.e.
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
Option 2: Use the explicit form of addView() and don't set the params on the view itself, i.e.
//Omit the line above this one
container.addView(rotate_view, params);
Beyond that, perhaps some insight into the custom view, specifically how it measures itself (it's not trying to fill parent is it)?
HTH
Ok Devunwired I will do that.
Here is how I am centering the image now.
1) I am centering the image in my canvas using a BitmapDrawable setGravity(Gravity.CENTER) property.
2) I'm centering the RotationView in my Relative Layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/image_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_below="#+id/txt_1"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" >
<com.mobicartel.acceldatatester.RotationView
android:id="#+id/rotate_view"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
I'll add the background and let you know. (Right now the image isn't displaying at all. Sometimes you have to take a step backward to take two in the right direction!)
