http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3126347/android-relativelayout-how-to-alignparentbottom-when-wrapped-in-a-scrollview
What I am trying to do is align a view to the bottom of the screen, using either a RelativeLayout or LinearLayout, and then wrap that layout in a scrollview to permit scrolling when necessary (for changes to landscape orientation or on small screen devices).
To date, what I find is that anything aligned to parent bottom works great as long at the bottom is visible...but if the bottom is below the scroll, the view that is aligned parent bottom jumps up to the top.
This seems like a very common design for ads that appear on the bottom, so I would think that this is possible. Is it?
I'm trying to show a ScrollView with a button anchored to bottom of screen. This is coded programmatically (without using XML layout for now). The trouble is when the ScrollView has many items (requiring scrolling), it prevents the button at the bottom from showing. The bottom button is sort of pushed off the screen. Look at the code below. I have a TODO which mentions a workaround to specify the exact pixel height of the ScrollView, but this is not a good solution. If you change the for loop to add only 2 buttons, then the bottom button will show. So how do I make the ScrollView show a scrolling list, with the bottom button in view, and without specifying an exact size of the ScrollView? I've seen some discussions here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa http: //groups. google.com /group/ android-developers/browse_thread/threa But I don't know how to apply these to my situation.package com.test.ScrollViewTest; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android. view. Gravity ; import android.view. ViewGroup. MarginLayoutParams; import android.widget.Button; import android. widget.ImageView; import android .widget.LinearLayout; import android.widget.RelativeLayout; import android.widget.ScrollView; import android.widget.TextView; public class MyScrollViewTest extends Activity @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) super. onCreate (savedInstanceState); LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(this); // the main layout of the screen ll.setOrientation (LinearLayout.VERTICAL); TextView tv1 = new TextView(this); tv1.setText("First line of text"); TextView tv2 = new TextView(this); tv2.setText("Second line of text"); ll.addView(tv1); ll.addView(tv2); ScrollView sv = new ScrollView(this);// You can only add one child (usually a layout) to a scrollview, // otherwise you get exception: "ScrollView can host only one direct child" LinearLayout ll2 = new LinearLayout(this); ll2.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL); * TODO: PROBLEM HERE: You cannot use WRAP_CONTENT for height, because * the layout below the scrollView will not show (it's sort of pushed * off the screen - even if a margin is specified). * An alternate value of 300 works OK (remove the bottom margin too).* But this is only suitable for screen size 320x480 in portrait mode.LinearLayout.LayoutParams params Linear = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( LinearLayout. Layout Params.FILL_PARENT, Linear Layout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT /*300*/); Add 50 pixel margin to bottom of scrollview (this margin doesn't scroll) paramsLinear.bottomMargin = 50;sv.addView(ll2); // Add some stuff to scrollView to test its depth // (it should leave a margin at bottom of screen) for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) { TextView textView = new TextView(this) ;textView.setText ("Text View " + i); linearLayout.LayoutParams p = new LinearLayout .LayoutParams (Linear Layout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LinearLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
ll2.addView (textView, p); button buttonView = new Button(this); buttonView. setText ("Button " + i);ll2.addView(buttonView, p); ll.addView(sv, paramsLinear); RelativeLayout rl = new RelativeLayout(this); RelativeLayout.LayoutParams paramsRelative = new lative Layout. LayoutParams( RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, RelativeLayout .Layout Params .WRAP_CONTENT); // Make the button anchored to the bottom of the screen.// But this doesn't work when the ScrollView has a scrolling list of items. Why? params Relative .addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM); rl.setLayout Params (params Relative) ;
So my layout looks basically like this:
<ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout>
<BunchOfViews/>
<ImageView android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
I have the ScrollView so all of the layout always is visible no matter the height of the screen. The problem is that on a very high screen, I still want my imageview to be at the bottom. However, a child of a ScrollView dont seem to have a defined bottom. The View is placed at the top of the layout. How can I solve this problem in a neat way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to port an existing iPhone application to android. I wish to have a button scroll into view at the bottom of a GridView to enable the user to load more data from the server. Presently, my solution simply fixes a button at the bottom of the screen instead of having it scroll into view.
Here is my layout code:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" >
<GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/grid"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:columnWidth="70dp" android:numColumns="auto_fit" android:verticalSpacing="0dp" android:horizontalSpacing="0dp" android:stretchMode="columnWidth" android:gravity="center" android:background="#000000" />
<Button android:id="@+id/load_more" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Load More" /> </LinearLayout>
Fixing the button at the bottom of the screen won't work because I plan on placing an ad at the bottom. Can anyone either explain conceptually how to get a load more button to scroll into view, or point me to some sample code, OR tell me why this is not idiomatic to Android and what other UI convention it uses to load more data in a GridView?

I have a TextView inside a ScrollView and I have loaded it with a bunch of text. When the ScrollView gets to the bottom/top I would like to load the TextView with new data BUT there doesn't appear to be any way to find out when you have reached either location. Could some one help me out with this? How can this be done?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI defined a scrollview with a texteedit in my layout:
<ScrollView android:fillViewport="true"

I add text to this ScrollView with the following method:public void writeToLogView(String textMsg) {
if (text.getText().equals("")) {
text.append(textMsg);
} else {
text.append("
" + textMsg);
scroller.scrollBy(0, 1000000); As you can see i append the text and try to scroll to the bottom of the ScrollView. Unfortunately this doesn't worked correctly. It scrolls down, but not always, and not always to the bottom. Any hints?
We're working with a pre-release device running V2.1_update1 We have a ListView in the middle of a screen with the height set to wrap-content. On all other devices, as long as there is room on the screen, this control does not scroll--or if it does scroll, it only scrolls to the limits of the entries in the list. On this new device, there is definitely room for the list so it should not be scrolling at all, but the ListView scrolls and seems to have elastic whitespace above and below (and separator lines above the top item and below the bottom item). Thus, when you drag down, the whole list scrolls down within the limits of the view's bounds (i.e. it clips there) and then when you release the drag, the list springs back up to its normal position. This latter behavior makes it seem like there is deliberate code that has been put in for this--but we certainly didn't do that. What could cause this? Is there a setting that has defaulted one way on this device that defaults opposite on other devices?

I am displaying some data in a ScrollView. On activity startup (method onCreate) I fill the ScrollView with data and want to scroll to the bottom. I tried to use:
getScrollView().fullScroll(ScrollView.FOCUS_DOWN).
This works when I make it as an action on button click but it doesn't work in the onCreate method. Is there any way how to scroll the ScrollView to the bottom on activity startup? That means the view is already scrolled to the bottom when first time displayed.
I have an activity that comes up over another activity. I'd like to position the overlying activity at the bottom of the screen without using an absolute layout, just like the soft keyboard.
I can't figure out if this can be done in an XML layout, and if so, where does it go?
I have a theme created, and the manifest is set to use it (this works). But overlaying activity is always positioned in the center of the screen. This is what I have. code...
How do I get the layout to show up aligned to the bottom for the overlaying window?
WHY does the screen not extend all the way to the bottom of the phone? or WHY did they make the bottom of the phone extend past the screen?It just looks dumb. It actually amazes me how engineers designed this and thought "Yes, this is a good idea" or "Yes this looks good"..
View 28 Replies View Relatedjust wondering if there is a way to put a "Phone" button at the bottom of the screen (instead of the app dock) like there is on the Sense UI.I thought I saw something like this a few days back (phone button in center, app dock pushed to the left, something else on the right) but I cant find it again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed that the screen seems unresponsive at the very bottom of the screen near the hardware buttons. It's most noticeable when typing on keyboard and trying to hit spacebar; unless I hit the spacebar right on the middle or top, it doesn't register.i.e. hitting it toward the bottom 1/3 of the spacebar. It seems noticeable when hitting the phone, app drawer, or contact icons as well. Anyone else notice this? Found this on the Motorola forums about other having similar issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I know this has been a recurring problem, the quick keys at the bottom of the screen being purple.But no one has ever figured out what to do about it?Is there a way to cover them up or something so they aren't visable at all?It may be my OCD acting up, but i feel disgusted at the prospect of having to look at a phone whose 4 buttons are different colors for the next two years.
View 16 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to start an activity from a view? I have this nice view that renders these menu buttons and when they click a particular button (Trapped in an onTouch event) I want to start the "clicked" activity. It seems that there from my view startActivity method is uncallable. So that leads me to believe that there is no way to do this, in which case I guess I am asking, what do I do here when I want this menu to have a view that animates drawables and can get touches to know what "button" was pressed to know what activity to start?

- TEXT VIEW -' SLIDE DRAWER image
I have a layout like this above textview and an image that slides down after clicking the text view. I have looked at translate animation but the issue is I want the image to start from the bottom of text view and gradually get into its full view. Translate animation doesn't let me start from behind the textview so that it can appear slowly and coming out at the bottom of text view and expanding to its fullview. I have linear layout now with textview and imageview.
I currently have a tab layout with 2 tabs, one tab with a list view and one with the option make strings so I can add them in the list view. Both tabs have their own activity because this made the code much more structured, and I dont have to repeat my self later.
Lets say im in the tab that offer me to create an string, and i press the update list button, how do I update the list view without startActivity()? If i use startActivity(), it starts List.java, and instead of displaying the list in the list view tab, it takes full screen, which defies the purpose of the tab view. In other words, the startActivity() steals the focus from the tab view of the list, and sends it fulscreen.
I want to update the activity in my list view tab, without starting a new activity that goes to fullscreen, and doesnt update the one in the tab.
I want to show my next activity withing my previous activity layout "LinearLyout". But it is not working. Can any one help? I put my last activity layout reference to a global class in an static variable. My code...
