Does anyone know of any documentation on the android:scrollbarStyle? I'd like to see examples of each of the 4 values w/ screenshots if possible. I see the difference between outside & inside types, but what are the Inset & Outset parts all about? I dont seem to see a difference between insideOutset & insideInset for example, likewise, I don't see a difference between outsideOutset & outsideOutset.
thanks in advance!
Ben
Here's a little more detailed example. I set up background colors to make it more obvious what's going on here.
First, the colors:
black - margins
white - padding
gray - the contents of the scrollview
green - the scrollbar if it takes up its own space (I added this explicitly as a scrollbarTrackVertical for the two "inset" examples)
Let's define two sections:
"content area" - the stuff to be displayed in the scroll view
"padding" - the space around the content of the scroll view
Let's think about the two parts of the scrollBarStyle separately:
inside - the scrollbar appears inside the content area (the padding wraps around both the content and the scrollbar)
outside - the scrollbar appears outside the content area
overlay - the scrollbar overlays the right edge of the section it's in
inset - the scrollbar pushes the section it's in to the left, taking up its own space
The layout xml appears below
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"

To set the scrollbar style programmatically:
setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_OVERLAY)
setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET)
setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY)
setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_INSET)
There are no values like outsideOutset and insideOutset. Possible four values are insideOverlay, insideInset, outsideOverlay, outsideInset
the documentation is there at following two links...
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#attr_android:scrollbarStyle
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET
I couldn't understand the documentation properly.
So taking reference from ApiDemos Scrollbar demo, I tried this. But i found that there is no difference in insideInset and outsideOverlay.
These two values are diff, either it should have both as Inset or Overlay
updated scrollbar3.xml is
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"

I hope someone will see this and clarify...
Above answers didn't quite work for me, so I came up with the following:
If this is what you want to achieve, here it goes:
ListView:
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
android:scrollbarThumbVertical="#drawable/scrollbar" />
Scrollbar drawable:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#android:color/transparent"
android:width="20dp"/>
<item
android:drawable="#android:color/holo_red_dark"
android:right="18dp" />
</layer-list>
Thanks to this answer

I was trying to implement wearable listview. For each list items i tried to use cardframe(android.support.wearable.view.CardFrame). While scrolling, size of card frame expands automatically. What is solution for this?
This is my xml for WearableListView-:
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/frame_layout"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:layout_box="all">

How to block 1st TextView to not narrows others ?
You can use layout_weight property to tell android how much space each textView takes on the screen. If you want all of them to have the same space you can add the layout_weight of 1 for all of them.
You will also need to readjust your layout_width too. You will have to trade off for the layout_heght. For example if i want 4 textviews in a horizontal line holding equal space "Horizontally" i would do something 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="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="This is verrry long text" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="maybe not" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView3"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="let us see" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView4"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="ok" />
i've a strange problem when i set android:layout_width="fill_parent" in my Spinner:
the clickable area is reduced to a line (red square) and only pressing on this line is possibile show the elements of the Spinner:
if i use android:layout_width="wrap_content" i obtain the correct area:
i would like the same thing using "fill_parent"
The elements of the Spinner are correctly visualized.. The only problem is clicking on the Spinner.
Which is the possible problem?

Try setting your Spinner's parent's height to match_parent. And also do you really need such layout? There is no need to place spinner in FrameLayout, try setting spinners's weight to 1 and replace RelativeLayout with LinearLayout
I am trying to reduce the space between 2 columns, have tried using negative margins, but did not work. Is there a way to bring the 2 elements in the image closer ?

I suggest implementing the entire view using a RelativeLayout, should be the best solution for the entire view.
You are tackling the wrong problem – you are asking how to reduce the space between columns in a grid layout, but maybe you should’t have used such a layout in the first place!
What you should have been using for your specific layout, is a combination of relative positioning and compound drawables (here, with android:drawableStart).

Not only this layout is simpler, you also let Android take care of all the spacing for you. To change the spacing between the compound drawable and the text, use android:drawablePadding in the layout’s code above; in Java code, that would be TextView.setCompoundDrawablePadding).
Icons used for the sample: water, windsock, rainy-weather and wind-rose.
I think what's happening is that your Views are being stretched because they are trying to match the width of another view in their columns.
Try decreasing the columnSpan of your Views or separate your layout into two separate GridLayouts.
Or, consider using a different layout altogether. I would recommend RelativeLayout here instead of GridLayout, but I don't know how this fits into a larger window.
try 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="100dp">

I think you should change usedefaultMargins to false and give your own margins to the elements.
android:useDefaultMargins="false";
Being new to android I am still learning the intricacies of layouts. I am trying to create a simple bar on top of a map. For the most part this works fine.
My issue is that I want everything to be right aligned except for the Button which I want left aligned. I have tried quite a few combinations and am unable to get desired layout.
This is beginning to make me believe my structure as a whole is not correct. This seems like there should be an easy fix. What am I missing??
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/transparent_panel_hud"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="right">
<Button
android:text="View"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/arrow_down"
android:textSize="10sp"
android:drawablePadding="3dp"/>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingRight="15dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/latitude"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:gravity="right"
android:text="#string/default_latitude"
android:textSize="18sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/longitude"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

Do the following changes to your XML layout, you will get the output as you mentioned. Try this.
Remove the line android:gravity="right" in LinearLayout with id=transparent_panel_hud
Keep your Button in a LinearLayout as below.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="left" >
<Button ... as you like />
</LinearLayout>
Keep your remaing 3 vertical LinearLayouts in a LinearLayout as below.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:gravity="right" >
<LinearLayout vertical 1 ... as you like />
<LinearLayout vertical 2 ... as you like />
<LinearLayout vertical 3 ... as you like />
</LinearLayout>
I tested above changes to your code, its working. You too check it and let me know the result.
Try this
