I am trying to learn to make my own apps by following tutorials but i have an issue when i run the app in the emulator or on my phone. All theScreenshot contents of the layout are squished in the top left corner.
This is all the codescreenshot 2here. I am a noob so don't go to hard on me. Thanks
It would be better if you also post your layout code (activity_main.xml) here for this kind of problems. But I am guessing you are using constraint layout as root of your layout and its child views are not constrained vertically, so all of them go to another position in run time.
Maybe you are using a relative layout and no positioning is specified.
You should paste the xml's code
I have an update for my app that includes ActionBarSherlock with a sliding menu. I have put my navigation entirely in to the sliding menu, leaving my main_activity pretty bare. I am worried the user won't know about the menu. So I want to add a prompt at start-up that will highlight the new feature. Like this:
I am not even sure what this is called, so I don't know how to research it. Any help or suggestions will be rewarded. Thanks!
You could just use overlay layout (Frame layout with multiple inner layouts will fit perfectly. Please note Frame Layout Z axis is by the lower the layout is in the xml, so the guide should be the last in the XML). Make that layout's background mostly transparent and add buttons and design to fit your needs. When you don't want to show the layout just set visibility to gone. And when you need it set to visible.
I am working to create a TabHost at bottom of the screen using only java code.
I am in a condition that I cant use xml layouts .Can someone expert in dynamic layouts could help me?
You can do this by providing alignParent rule for parent RelativeLayout, if you have one.
You can do this by providing correct order if your parent is LinearLayout
DO NOT use bottom tabs. Read design guides first.
Hey guys I am having trouble with placing my buttons in my XML layout. I already have a background and was just trying to put 3 buttons near the middle and thats where I'm having trouble. I know about center gravity and all that but could you help me? Also, If I made my own buttons can I just import them using the image button thing, or is that not right? Thanks for the help!
PS: Also, there is a big white box around my button. How do I get that to go away?
I posted this answer to your duplicate question, so I'll also post it here. :)
You can rearrange elements of your layout by editing the XML directly or by dragging and dropping in the outline view or the graphical layout view (I find the latter harder to do reliably).
To use your custom views, click on the "Custom & Library Views" button in the graphical layout palette, or just type in the fully qualified class name as the view tag in the XML.
If you use Image button you can set your custom Image to src property or background property. If youi chose src you should add android:background="#null".
But I would recommend to use background property while if you use 9-patch png (who knows maybe tomorow you will use 9-patch) they would not stretch if you set it in src.
I am getting stuck with making android screen layout same like i have in my iPhone application. The iPhone screen layout is given in below image. Please anyone can help me out to make same screen for android. You can give me some idea with having some code snippet please.
Thanks in advance.
First off, you should be creating an XML-based layout. The Android SDK has a graphical layout tool that will help you with that.
Start looking into 9-patch images for your custom button graphics and setting your android:background attribute to them within a <Button />. Make sure you use actual text for the buttons, not graphics of the text. You should probably use a <RelativeLayout /> for the main layout, as that will let you target multiple screen sizes easily without a mess of nested <LinearLayout />s.
For the tinted area, just use a translucent PNG (with an alpha channel) instead of attempting to line up graphics.
use relative layout to design this screen like use image for navigation bar and align it as parent top (use no title bar in mainfest) add its listener
similarly you can align other text and image view
