I have a Relative Layout.
Which has 2 buttons, side by side and it is right-aligned.
So this is my layout xml file. My question is there are no spacing between the right-most button and the right border of the RelativeLayout and between the 2 buttons. How can I add that? I play with android:paddingRight, but nothing helps. code...

At the moment I'm using the following layout.
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/101642/
Module one and two get added in code. Now I'd like to have a 10px spacing between the two modules. I have tried to set "layout_topMargin" to the parent LinearLayout but it doesn't work. In addition I have tried to set this parameter to the LinearLayout modules. But well it doesn't work. It always looks like this:

Do I really have to put a dummy (spacer) view between the two LinearLayouts or is there another possibility?
I've built a widget that uses a LinearLayout and I've put two TextViews in the layout.
The gravity of the layout is "top".
The problem is that I get a space between the two TextViews and I can't get rid of it.

As you can see I tried putting padding 0 and verticalSpacing 0 but I still get a space between them.
Is there an easy way to add padding between the checkbox in a CheckBox control, and the associated text?
I cannot just add leading spaces, because my label is multi-line.
As-is, the text is way too close to the checkbox:
I'd like to add extra spacing on the sides and between tabs on the tab widget, but padding and margins dont seem to make any difference. I also played with setting the divider, tab strip left and right drawables, which didn't seem to make any difference either.
Trying to make the tabs look like this:
I am very impressed with Swype and just amazed that it is able to correctly guess what I am trying to type most of the time. But I have a question. What is the correct way to add a period? It seems that when i first started using it, if I used a period it would automatically add a space and capitalize the next word. But it doesn't do that now. I get no space or capitalization and have to add the space manually.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've used an Alert Dialog builder to display 6 items my user can choose from. Unfortunately for just a few pixels missing, it displays only half of the last item and adds a scrollbar. Beside, centering of the dialog is awkward, there is a 20px padding at the top but only 2px at the bottom. I was wondering if there is a way to reduce font size or vertical spacing in the Alert Dialog builder programatically.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI know my original post (at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa..., I could not find a way to perform a reply, maybe it's too old) is not sexy, but I'm now facing that problem in many situations. Let me please rephrase what I attempt to do, and what my problem is.
I have a RelativeLayout made of three widgets (named 1, 2 and 3 on the illustrations below): one attached to its parent left border (labelled 1), one to its parent right border (labelled 2) and the third (labelled 3) inserted between the 2 previous ones (its left border is attached to the first widget right border, and its right border is attached to the second widget left border). The third widget (the middle/central one laballed "3") is far taller than the two others, and I would like the first and second items (1 and 2) to be vertically centered with the middle widget.
I have resorted to the "android:layout_centerVertical" attribute for both the first and second widget, but I do not get the expected result. See at the bottom the various layouts I'm mentionning. Could someone please help me, and tell me whether what I intend to do is feasible, and how? Thank you for your time.
Layout with no "android:layout_centerVertical" specified: ------- |1|3|2| --|3|-- |3| ---
Layout with "android:layout_centerVertical" set to "true":
--- |3| |3| |3| ------- |1| |2| --- ---
What I'd like: --- --|3|-- |1|3|2| --|3|-- ---
I've always been using RelativeLayout everytime I needed a View container, because of it's flexibility, even if I just wanted to display something really simple.Is it ok to do so, or should I try using a LinearLayout when I can, from a performance/good practices standpoint?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have been reading a heap of old posts trying to get up to speed on Android so if a few of my posts seem vague, please excuse them as android is still very new to me. Love the site and so far I have found a heap of good info.
I have done a search on this site and a few others in the hope of finding out a problem I have with SWYPE on my DHD.
I have auto spacing selected but when typing a sms using SWYPE, no spaces are automatically placed in between words. However when I use the SWYPE keyboard for entering in a calendar entry, spaces are automatically defaulted between words.
The version i am using is 2.4.44.10912 (has English language) and there appears to be a red circle on the space button for the message SWYPE keyboard but the red circle is not present on keyboard when I am entering in a calendar item.
I have uninstalled SWYPE and re-installed, but the issue is still present. Any ideas?
I just moved to ICS, and I'm doing some modding in it.
There's one thing I don't like and that is the spacing/padding on the left and right side in some (most) menus.
how to remove this?
Let me illustrate with a mockup:
The left is how it is, and the right is how I'd like it.
It is ofcourse also very noticeable in the Settings menu:
I have a problem with two Textviews on the same height in a RelativeLayout running into each other.

Since I'm still just learning Android (and it appears Amazon says it'll be 2 months till I get the Hello, Android book) I'm still playing around with doing simple things. I have no problem getting an icon to display with the click of a button on my RelativeLayout using ImageView. The code for creating it is as follows:
private int mIconIdCounter = 1;
private ImageView addIcon(){
ImageView item = new ImageView(this);
item.setImageResource( R.drawable.tiles );
item.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT );
if( mIconIdCounter != 1 ){
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 1 );
}
item.setLayoutParams( params );
item.setId( mIconIdCounter );
++m_IconIdCounter;.......................
Can anyone tell me how can i do this using Java code or in activity class? I do not know how to set android: layout_alignParentBottom="true".I want to implement whole view via java code.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to build an android application that features a graphical display drawn within a RelativeLayout. I want to place "+" and "-" buttons next to several of the parameters, which are drawn at various points on the canvas. The positions are free-form don't seem to conform to any of the standard XML layouts.I know how to create the buttons programmatically, but I don't know how to place them over the canvas where I need them to be. I'm assuming that this would be done in the view thread's doDraw() method, after all the graphics have been drawn, but how?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have ScrollView with RelativeLayout as a child of ScrollView. I am trying through JAVA code to set Layout_Gravity to CENTER so my RelativeLayout is centered (horizontally and vertically) in the middle of ScrollView (that covers whole screen).This works fine in XML and produces desired result, but when I try to do this programmatically, it seems there is no way to set Layout_Gravity of RelativeLayout. I tried using LayoutParams, but couldn't find anything there that would help me to center RelativeLayout in the middle. So, am I missing something or this simply can't be done?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have the following structure defined in an xml layout file.
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/frame" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ></FrameLayout>
<Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_below="@id/frame" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
The FrameLayout is positioned correctly in the center of its parent. But the Button isn't getting positioned under it. Instead it's displaying in the top left corner. Am I doing something incorrectly or is this a bug with RelativeLayout?
As i am facing limitation of layout depth in my application, i am replacing some LinearLayout with RelativeLayout. However i am stopped by a supposely very simple issue (but apparantly without clean solution regarding that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1499555/android-layout-centering-i..., nor in the ApiDemos sample where RelativeLayout are too simple):
How can i align vertically 3 items (in a simple way!) which are on a horizontal line with RelativeLayout without?
does not seem to have any effect at all.
Here is the xml; in this example i would like an icon at left (fixed width), a text label in the middle (fixed width) and an edit text on the right (remaining space). the problem is that the TextView seems to ignore the parameter android:layout_gravity="center_vertical", and seems to be top aligned with parent. code...
Of course i can use marginTop/Bottom and alignTop/Bottom on each single item but that's not very clean.
I created a background .png for my application in GIMP. It's resolution is 640x480, which from googling, seems to be the resolution for a default emulator. My problem is when I apply the background to the RelativeLayout with android:background=@drawable/bg and run it, there are lots of artifacts in the image. As if the emulator could not provide enough colors to display the .png correctly. This image is nothing to fancy, just simple lines and radial gradients.
