I have a TextView inside a TableRow. The text contained in this TextView is tipically larger than the screen. As such, I would like for the the text to wrap into multiple lines.
TableLayout table = (TableLayout)findViewById(R.id.myTable);
TableRow row = new Tablerow(context);
TextView view = new TextView(context);
view.setText(stringWithLotsOfCharacters);
view.setSingleLine(false);
row.add(view);
table.addview(row, new TableLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
I tried using "setSingleLine" but it does not have the effect I was looking for.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
Add android:shrinkColumns="1" for the column you want to wrap to the TableLayout in your layout or android:shrinkColumns="*" if you want to wrap all columns.
You can also do it programmatically with setColumnShrinkable:
public void setColumnShrinkable (int columnIndex, boolean isShrinkable)
view.setHeight(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

I have searched and searched on here, but I cant seem to solve this problem. I have a ScrollView, inside the ScrollView is a LinearLayout, I want to read my SQL database and display the results like such;
Linear Layout
ScrollView
Linear Layout
TableRow
TextView
TextView
TableRow
TextView
TextView
/Linear Layout
/ScrollView
/LinearLayout
My code is as follows:
TableRow tRow;
ContextThemeWrapper ttRow = new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.coreTable);
LinearLayout LL = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linearCores);
LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
if (cores.moveToFirst()) {
while (cores.isAfterLast() == false) {
Log.e("CORE LIST", cores.getString(1));
tRow = new TableRow(ttRow);
tRow.setLayoutParams(lp);
tRow.setOrientation(TableRow.VERTICAL);
tRow.setId(cores.getInt(0));
tRow.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.shape_border);
ContextThemeWrapper newTxtA = new ContextThemeWrapper(this, R.style.coreHeaderView);
TextView tTextA = new TextView(newTxtA);
tTextA.setLayoutParams(lp);
tTextA.setText(cores.getString(1) + " (Lvl " + cores.getString(2) + ")");
tRow.addView(tTextA);
TextView tTextB = new TextView(coreChooser.this);
tTextB.setLayoutParams(lp);
tTextB.setText(cores.getString(5));
tRow.addView(tTextB);
LL.addView(tRow);
cores.moveToNext();
}
}
On my emulator it shows the first tRow.addView, but not the rest, however by background seems to stretch the past the screen.
I am really not sure what I am doing wrong here.
The documentation for TableRow states the following:
A TableRow should always be used as a child of a TableLayout. If a TableRow's parent is not a TableLayout, the TableRow will behave as an horizontal LinearLayout.
If your intention is just to be able to make each pair of TextView share the common background R.drawable.shape_border, then use a nested LinearLayout in place of the TableRow (TableRow is extended from LinearLayout anyway).
Alternatively if there is some specific feature of TableRow you absolutely want to use, then make R.id.linearCores a TableLayout instead of a LinearLayout.
I am trying to create a table layout filled with lots of bits of data, the table layout is inside a scroll view.
I am using this to fill it
TableLayout tl;
.....
tl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.layout);
.....
and when I set it I create a new Text View to put into it like so
TextView tv;
....
tr = new TableRow(Context);
.....
tv = new TextView(Context);
tv.setText(progress[1]);
tr.addView(tv);
...
tl.addView(tr);
A new text row is created when I have put 12 text views in it and the tr is added to the tl when it has 12 views in it.
The font size of the text view is default, all I do to the text view you see here
Consider changing to a viewgroup that can recycle/reuse its child views, such as a listview or gridview. That way you won't need to keep everything in memory.
I have one table "TABLE_SUBJECT" which contain a number of subjects. I need to create
one horizontal scroll view with Subject.
How do I create a ScrollView with database items programmatically? If I enter 1o subject then it will be appear in scroll view as a button. Is it possible?
you may create it as below:
ScrollView scroll = new ScrollView(context);
scroll.setBackgroundColor(android.R.color.transparent);
scroll.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT));
scroll.addView(yourTableView);
if you have many elements first you need to wrap-up and add in the Scroll view; for example i need a many text view inside of scrollview, so you need to create ScrollView->LinearLayout->Many textview
ScrollView scrollView = new ScrollView(context);
scrollView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
TextView textView = new TextView(context);
textView.setText("my text");
LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(context);
linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
linearLayout.setGravity(Gravity.RIGHT);
linearLayout.addView(textView);
scrollView.addView(linearLayout);
this may help you.
HorizontalScrollView hsrll = (HorizontalScrollView)findViewById(R.id.hrsll);
b = new Button(this);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
b.setWidth(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
b.setHeight(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
b.setText("b"+i);
b.setId(100+i);
hsrll.addView(b);
}
instead of for loop just modify the code as your need(no of records in db). but this the code for creating buttons in dynamically.
I was doing it like this:
Create xml with LinearLayout inside the ScrollView
Create xml as item in ScrollView
In activity set main content as xml with ScrollView
Loop through all table elements with adding new View to LinearLayout form main view
For me works fine.
In Kotlin you can use the below code
val scroll = ScrollView(context)
scroll.setBackgroundColor(R.color.transparent)
scroll.layoutParams = LayoutParams(
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT
)
scroll.addView(yourTableView)
I am adding dynamic text view to view flipper like below.
Everything is working perfectly, but how can i center each text view at center of View Flipper, i have looked for the gravity option but i think it doesn't support. As the text view contains different text length i want every text view to be at center of view flipper.
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
vf.addView(tv, i);
}
Thanks
I think this may help :
ViewFlipper flipper = new ViewFlipper(this);
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
textView.setText("Hello World");
flipper.addView(textView);
setContentView(flipper);
Are you talking about gravitiy we can set this way, or a layout gravity you have tried actually?
tv.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);
Try to set ViewFlippers width in xml as
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
I had an similar problem and this worked fine.
You can do this way,
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams param = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
param.gravity = Gravity.CENTER;
tv.setLayoutParams(param);
Ok i got the answer, actually you need to add linearlayout to viewflipper then add children to linearlayout with giving gravity parameter to linear layout.
Im posting from my phone so please excuse stupid typos and formatting issues.
I have an activity which lists saved games that the player can load.
I created a simple layout xml file which defines a ScrollView. On load, I grab all the saved games and programatically add a view for each saved game to a vertically oriented LinearLayout child of the ScrollView.
The view for each game consists of a Horizontally oriented LinearLayout which in turn contains a Button and a vertically oriented LinearLayout. That LinearLayout in turn contains some TextViews and ImageViews (and one more LinearLayout which I'm ommitting here for the sake of clarity).
The hierarchy looks something like this (some details omitted).
ScrollView
LinearLayout - vertical
Each saved game:
LinearLayout - horizontal
Button - load game
LinearLayout - vertical
TextView - game name
TextView - date string
My problem:
I would like the top of the button and the "game name" texview to be vertically aligned but the TextView (or maybe it's LinearLayout parent) has some rogue padding on top that I can't get rid of. See screenshot for details.
LoadSaved class:
Note: mScrollView is badly named. It refers to the ScrollView's child LinearLayout.
public class LoadSaved extends Activity {
public LinearLayout mScrollView;
private MinerDb mDb;
public void onCreate(Bundle b) {
super.onCreate(b);
setContentView(R.layout.loadsaved);
mDb = new MinerDb(this);
mScrollView = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.load_scroll_view);
Bundle[] savedGames = mDb.getSavedGames();
for (int i = 0; i < savedGames.length; i++) {
Bundle game = savedGames[i];
final int gameId = game.getInt("gameId");
String name = game.getString("name");
String date = game.getString("date");
Bundle player = game.getBundle("player");
int playerMoney = player.getInt("money");
int playerHealth = player.getInt("health");
LinearLayout gameContainer = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
gameContainer.setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);
gameContainer.setGravity(Gravity.TOP);

startActivity(loadGameIntent);
finish();
}
});
}
}
}

If you want any kind of alignment, why don't you use a RelativeLayout? That's basically designed to align one view with another. android:layout_alignTop sounds like something you want.
(And, of course, verify that the padding values are the same in all controls, but I'm sure you did that.)
Why don't you try using a ListView for that kind of gui.
You will still need to define a row xml.
+1 to the answers suggesting ListView and RelativeLayout. For this type of situation you probably want a ListView with an item layout using RelativeLayout. (ListView will scale much better if there are many items, and if this is for a list of saved games it seems like this could grow quite a bit.) For this type of UI it's recommended to have the whole row/list item clickable rather than use a small Load button, but that's a design issue and ultimately up to you.
Don't use getApplicationContext for creating your views. Activity is a Context, just pass this in your case.
By default LinearLayouts try to align child views by their text baseline if present. Note that the bottom of your button's Load text aligns perfectly with the CURRENT_GAME text in your screenshot. Try gameContainer.setBaselineAligned(false).
Normally your gameInfo layout would only report the baseline of one of its children if you set a baselineAlignedChildIndex, but it looks like this behavior changed between cupcake and eclair when creating LinearLayouts programmatically. (Link to the commit that changed it in AOSP here.)
