i want to add a view in my application which has to be clickable, i've tried a dialog but it block the execution of the game, i've also tried to add a view to the WindowManager but it's not clickable. How can i create a "banner like" view?
In my understanding, you want to have a banner view floating above your game view. Try using FrameLayout. Following is a sample xml, hope it can help:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- Replace this with your banner -->
<ImageView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/icon"/>
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="Replace this with your game view"/>
</FrameLayout>

I have an activity Which has Text to show then Some content under that then a list view.
While some content could be a picture, relative layout, Video control, or a linear layout. Depending upon the data it got from previous activity.
Is that possible to do that or I have to make separate layouts for all items?
You need a layout like this:
<?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/textview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TextView" />
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/flSpecialContainer"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</FrameLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
</ListView>
</LinearLayout>
You can add any View you want in code to the FrameLayout (flSpecialContainer) based on what you need.
you can create all possible items in one layout and set visible and gone them depend on data you receive
in this case you don't need create them in code , and can preview activity layout in design mode.
I am creating an application that contains a header with a button on the right that should slide a list view to left when I click on it(similar to the chat list in Facebook)
-->
When I was including this header without putting the list view in it, it was working properly. But now I am inserting this list view inside the .xml file of the header (because the header is always shown for the user and he can click on this list view button in any layout that is shown for him).
The problem that I want to include this header to all the other layouts without changing the way they looks and show this list each time he click on the button.
I searched and found a lot of answers but every solution was about making the same as I did in the previous screen shots in each page which is not an optimistic solution for multiple pages.
*I am working on API level 10 and want to find the solution without using Actionbar.
Tell me please if more information would be helpful, any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE my xml file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/GeneralRelativeLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/rel_layout"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white" android:layout_alignParentRight="true">
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/fake_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:visibility="gone"></LinearLayout>
<ListView android:id="#+id/list_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:background="#android:color/background_dark"
></ListView>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/rel_layout_second"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/black">
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/lin_layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/background_light"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
<Button android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="slide"
android:layout_gravity="right|center"></Button>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Try to create a RelativeLayout for the ListView with a android:visibility="gone" and all the other components in the same User Interface inside another RelativeLayout.
Then change its visibility upon the state of the menu if it's opened or closed.
Guess this should be a way to go:
<?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:clickable="false">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/thisistopbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:paddingLeft="3dp"/>
<include here listview etc../>
</LinearLayout>
you can also make the top bar general and include it in every screen. But the basic idea is like above xml, and put the button on the top bar.
I don't know if it's the right way to do this but I hope you'll be able to help me.
I'm using a ListActivity to display content from RSS feed. While the content is loading I want to display a pending view. I'm using the EndlessAdapter from that website https://github.com/commonsguy/cwac-endless. It provides a way to display a pending view but the first time it loads data it's a tiny row in an empty list so it's not very sexy.
I'm actually trying to fix this up with this method :
A custom layout for my ListActivity where there is a pending view that I can hide or show for the first loading. The XML code of the layout is like this :
<?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" >
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:cacheColorHint="#FFFFFF"/>
<include
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
layout="#layout/loading_anim">
</include>
</LinearLayout>
The first time I load data I set the list visibility to gone with this line :
listView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
It's almost working but the included layout doesn't fill the entire screen and right know I don't know how to fix this in a proper way.
Hope someone will be able to help me, thank's!
UPDATE :
I tried to set the contentview with only the loading layout (see XML below) and I got the same result (see http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/594/loadingwf.png/) :
this.setContentView(R.layout.loading_anim);
<?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:background="#FFFFFF"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dp" >
<ProgressBar
android:id="#+id/progressBar"
style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="#string/loading" />
</LinearLayout>
So I'm wondering if maybe it's because of the tabs... Can anybody help me ? Thank's
UPDATE 2
I found a solution, it had nothing to do with the neverending adapter. See The content of my tabs doesn't fill the whole space
In your ListView, try this:
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:cacheColorHint="#FFFFFF"/>
What I did was set layout_height to wrap_content. Should fill your entire screen now.
I must make a layout with 2 overlapping ScrollViews. One is an article with a "see comments" button. The other view is transparent and contains the comments, and is shown on top of the article when the "see comments" button is clicked. The problem is that when the comments are shown and do not fill the screen, touching the screen out of the screen (eg. below the button "Retour" on the image shown below. This is an iphone screenshot, the design on android is different) scrolls the article.
Also, the "Voir les Commentaires" button can be clicked, even with another layout on top of it.
Why is the view below not disabled (button, scroll...) when there's another one on top of it? How can it be done?
Anybody can help?
<?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:background="#FFFFFF">
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/header"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="49dp"
android:background="#e7e7e8">
<!-- header -->
</RelativeLayout>
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/article_scroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/header">
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- article -->
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_below="#id/header" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" android:background="#50000000" android:visibility="gone">
<ScrollView android:id="#+id/comment_scroll"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<!-- comments -->
</ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
You should definitely use a new Activity for your comment and use Transucent theme:
<activity android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Translucent">
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html
Some alternatives Themes should fit your needs (Dialog for instance)
or a blurried background: http://www.stealthcopter.com/blog/2010/01/android-blurring-and-dimming-background-windows-from-dialogs/
As for the button "Voir les Commentaires", you could set it to enabled = false when the second layer is visible. And I'm not quite sure atm, but I think you can do the same for the bottom ScrollView.
Im stuck in getting this to work.
Look at the picture below, i want the bubble to be placed under the image.
And of course would like to be able to place the view wherever i like.
I think the problem is in the parent view so i add parent xml to .
Maybe i need to change RelativeLayout to something else,
I have tried many things but nothing works
.
Here is my xml for the bubble
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout android:id="#+id/frameLayout_balloon_gallery_activity_send"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ImageView android:id="#+id/imv_balloon_gallery_activity_send"
android:src="#drawable/balloon_gallery"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"/>
</FrameLayout >
here is the parent that i insert the bubble into
.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:id="#+id/relativelayout_main_activity_back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical">
<Gallery xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/gallery_activity_back"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:spacing="2dip"
android:gravity="top"
android:paddingTop="20dip"
/>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relativeLayoutinner_activity_back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etx_addtext_activity_back"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:singleLine="false"
android:text="#string/string_enter_text_here"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
You will want to create a RelativeLayout that contains both the ImageView and the bubble inside it. Position the bubble below the ImageView using the position below attribute. From there you can move the RelativeLayout around wherever and the bubble will remain under the image.
Check out how the Quick Actions were implemented here http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-quickaction-dialog-in-android/. The functionality is similar to what you want.
