General :: Getting Eclipse Graphical Layout To Expand With Dual Scrollview
Mar 9, 2012
I am using Eclipse Helios Service Release 2 and the project target is 2.2.
I have a xml layout that has a HorizontalScrollView and ScrollView with a LinearLayout. For some reason unknown to me the graphical layout will not expand when I add objects that exceed the size of the default screen size.
I have other xml layout files that will expand when using a single scrollview type, however when using two of them nested together it does not work.
I have attempted to use ScrollView then HorizontalScrollView and reversed to see if it is a order of priority issue with Eclipse. However this does not work.
There appears to be nothing missing from the properties of the scrollviews between those that will expand and the one that wont.
Is there something I am missing? Or is it not possible to have two different scrollview types in one layout and still have a auto expanding graphical layout editor? I would rather not define a specific screen resolution that would allow me to see all objects; I want the app to be adaptable to any device screen size.

I am new to java, eclipse, and android development, so I may be missing something simple although I have checked basic stuff like spelling several times.
Because there is no number picker control (such as that used in the date picker) in the public Android SDK, the conventional wisdom is to "clone and own" the control that exists in the Android source.
In an attempt to do that, I have copied the code for NumberPicker into my project and its dependency, NumberPickerButton. I have also copied the supporting resources.
The problem I am having is that when I try to include the NumberPicker in a layout, the rendered version of the layout within Eclipse does not work.
CODE:...............
Adding that tag causes the Layout view of the XML file to only show the following error.
ClassCastException: com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton cannot be cast to com.spencerandbrown.PatientTracker1.NumberPickerButton
I have tried both the fully qualified name and the unqualified name and it makes no difference.
The strange thing is that the control works at run time, it just will not render in Eclipse.
Is there a solution for this issue? Am I just doing something wrong?
If necessary, I can include more code from my project to clarify.
If I reference the internal Android widget, it works fine in the Eclipse layout view, but it is clumsy to interact with that way and it might break in the future.
CODE:............
Here is the stack trace from Eclipse.

I want to have a textview (like a console or output window), which scrolls. I saw on this list that the TextView will not scroll on its own unless I wrap it in a ScrollView. So I did that and it worked. The problem is, it seemed no matter what I did I could not get the TextView to be higher than one line. This was only when it was embedded in the ScrollView, and didn't seem to change whatever I set the TexView's layout_height to.
Here is my layout:

I am having an issue trying to setup a scrollview with a relative layout.
Here is my layout file
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
[Code]...
The scrollview is working correctly but the relativelayout is showing up correctly in my graphical layout view but I can't seem to see it on my phone or emulator. I want it to be displayed all the time and not a part of the scrollview. I just don't know how to fix it.
Here is how I would like it to work

My problem is that I would like a button (e.g. Next) to be at the bottom of the screen, unless the content is larger than the screen, in which case it should be scrolled.
I can achieve having a layout at the bottom (either trough RelativeView layout_alightToParentBottom="yes", LinearLayout with a View with weight="1" and layout_height="0", or a TableLayout expandRow). However, with each one, once it is wrapped with a ScrollView, the button is brought up next to the previous component, and cannot be glued to the bottom. The ScrollView is not active (needed, components height less than the screen height), yet it affects the components in it. Is that a bug? Is there a way around it?
As I resorted to having alternative layouts for Landscape, 320x240 and code.

I am using eclipse 3.5 with the ADT plugin.when I view layout xml files, i get two tabs in the view the source code view and a graphical view.the graphical view almost never works for any of my layouts.it usually shows "NullPointerException: null" at the top and nothing else. when it does work, it often does not match what i get in the simulator or device.it seems like this thing simply is not ready for prime time; although the idea is very cool.has anyone else had much success with it?

I'm able to successfully use a ScrollView inside the layout xml file for an application. However, when I tried using a ScrollView inside the layout xml file for a widget, I get a "Problem Loading Widget" error as soon as I drop the widget in the emulator. If I comment out the ScrollView, then the widget shows up in the emulator. I've pasted my layout xml file below. Any thoughts on how to get past this error would be much appreciated.
<LinearLayout

android:layout_height="fill_parent"

<Button

If I have the following:
CODE:..............
How can I get the body (second EditText) to fill the rest of the screen, but still have the scrollview kick in when the contents of the body are too long? Like a height="wrap_content" and minHeight="fill_parent"
layout_height="fill_parent" seems to not do anything if you put them in a scrollview
A working example of what I want is the email app compose window
I tried this and the EditText elements act like they are wrap_content and no filling is happening. Just scrolling if you type enough

I must be overlooking something real simple here, but i think i'm trying to do something fairly basic.. Simply retain the scrollbar position of a ScrollView on orientation change...
Here is the code for my onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState.. sView is the container for the ScrollView layout. Within my scrollview is a linearlayout with a lot of textviews.
CODE:............
If I set a Toast with the values of sViewX and sViewY on the Restore, the values are kept and correct.
I just tried to do a sView.scrollTo(0,150); in my onCreate.. just to see if that would open the activity at 150px down, and it didn't. I think my issue has to do with the .scrollTo method.

I want some of the goodies in a ListView, like being able to use a ListAdapter, and item selection, etc, but I don't want the ScrollView portion of it. I want to implement that part myself, in a different way (why or how I do this isn't really the point of this question, so please don't ask "why"). Is there a way to have a ListView that's not in a ScrollView or has the scrolling disabled?

I have a layout I'm creating that uses ViewFlipper for different screens.In eclipse's layout editor it only displays the first page in the View.Is there a keyboard shortcut, or function to flip to the next screen?Currently I'm building each screen in a seperate XML file and then copying and pasting it into the main XML file.Is there a better way to work here?

I've created a new xml file in my layouts directory using eclipse's "new->xml file" wizard and i want to be able to use the built in layout editor, however, this file is not recognized as an android layout file by the editor, but rather as an ordinary file. everything compiles and runs okay, but i wanted to know how to do it better next time.

Relative noob working with Eclipse and Android.I just switched from Windows XP to Mac (Snow Leopard) and I'm having a little trouble getting Eclipse up and running the way I like it.I installed the Android Mac SDK, but my layout editor isn't showing me a preview of the activity layout, it's just showing me the XML tree, even when I'm on the design tab.Is there something I need to do to enable the layout editor in eclipse?

System config is MacOSX with default JDK 1.5.0_16. Eclipse 3.4 The problem is I have a project in workspace that has been developed under JDK 1.6.I don't really want to switch back to 1.5 ( i' would have to clean up a LOT of @Override ) but if i work with this project, after couple of rebuilds - eclipse layout editor not able to display preview. Work around i found so far open android project that is in compliance with Java 1.5. Close everything else and rebuild workspace. But it's kind of annoying to do it every time.

I'm porting an app of mine to work better with API 1.5, and I'm having problems with the layout files where I'm using an AutoCompleteTextView (and, naturally, MultiAutoCompleteTextView). Whenever I have them present in a layout, the graphical representation of the layout disappears, and "NullPointerException: null" replaces it. Is there any way I can view a widget such as this in the Eclipse editor? It definitely worked in the 1.1 SDK, otherwise I wouldn't have used them.

When I create a subfolder in the layout folder, and drag an xml file to it, the generated R file doesn't seem to show the subfolder. a) is there a way to change that b) is the file and file structure still picked up by SVN and c) so, if I do it that way, can I still just refer to the object using layout?

The xml files that contains the Activity layouts can be rendered by Eclipse.
How do I get that Eclipse screen area to have vertical orientation, not horizontal (inside Eclipse - it correctly shows as vertical in the emulator)?

This is probably related to this question. I want to know if anyone else gets the same error as me and if there is a way to get around this. I did the following: Followed the instructions from this page. From the top, go to File -> Create a new project -> Android Project -> Create project from existing sample. Checked Android 2.2. From the drop-down menu picked SkeletonApp. Clicked finish. From the package explorer, went to SkeletonActivity -> res -> layout -> skeleton_activity.xml. In the tabs at the bottom of the editor area (editor area is the center of the screen) clicked on Layout. Then I got the error "ClassCastException: android.widget.EditText cannot be cast to andoid.text.ViewGroup". The full text of the error message is given below.

I'm new to Android & Eclipse. I've downloaded Eclipse and the Android ADT and created an ultra-simple "Hello World" app (has only auto-generated .java and .xml files). Eclipse CRASHES (closes after a very brief pause) when I do the following: In Package Explorer, select AppName/res/layout/main.xml Press, or double-click, or 'Open With' then 'Android Layout Editor' (The app runs OK in the Android emulator) My configuration is:
Android Development Tools 0.9.5.v200911191123-20404 com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 1.2.2.20100216-1730 epp.package.java
Windows XP
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what's wrong with my configuration? Any suggestions on what to check? For any non-trivial app development I need to be able to use the Layout Editor. More ... I can select main.xml and Right-Click and 'Open With' any of: XML Editor, XML Schema Editor, Text Editor -- with no problem. The problem is limited to Android Layout Editor.

Has anyone figured out how to scroll the contents of the Layout Editor when those contents overflow one "screen"? I'm talking about at design-time while using the ADT Layout Editor, not scrolling at run-time on a physical device (that works fine).
