Android :: Adding Padding Between Buttons In A Linear Layout

I am probably missing something totally obvious, but can someone tell me how to add padding between buttons of a Linear Layout?

I tried the following to try to display two buttons in a horizontal linear layout, with the edges of the buttons flush with the border of the linear layout. To my surprise, I found that there is always still padding between the buttons and the left, right and bottom edges of the linear layout. Only the top edges of the buttons end up flush with the border of the linear layout. Why is that? And is there a way to control this behavior?
<Linear Layout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#777"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip">
<Button android:id="@+id/feeling_done_button"
android:text="@string/done_button_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/feeling_cancel_button"
android:text="@string/cancel_button_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip"/></Linear Layout>
I have the following linear layout. What I don't understand is if I set the background to another image, the padding information are reset. Is there a way to prevent this?
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/aPanel"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/bkground"
android:paddingLeft="15dp" android:paddingRight="15dp">
<!-- some children here -->
</LinearLayout>
I see the position of the children get shifted when I change the backround drawable of the linearlayout 'aPanel'.
RelativeLayout is more flexible, and can do what AbsoluteLayout can do and more.

To place views on top of one another you can also use FrameLayout, positioning these frame layouts in their parent layout:

> I have an image that will have 5 different areas that will be "clickable." Each clickable area will be invisible and play a different sound. I was told not to use an absolute layout, and use a linear layout instead. However, I am now having an issue with placing the buttons over the picture. The linear layout does not allow me to position them correctly where they need to go. How do I properly position a button so that it is over a certain part of the image?
I have a vertically orientated Linear Layout with some Buttons in it:
<Linear Layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/bt1" android:text="Button 1"></Button>
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/bt2" android:text="Button 2"></Button>
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/bt3" android:text="Button 3"></Button>
<Button android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/bt4" android:text="Button 4"></Button>
I am trying to build a layout dynamically which display some text and image for the most part, but has a series of buttons placed next to each other in the bottom. I have a linear layout that carries the text, another linear layout that carries the image. And yet another linear layout that carries the buttons that get created in a for loop. I have a main layout aligned vertical that adds the text, image and buttons layout, in that order. To finally generate something like this: Text Image Button1 Button2 Button3. The problem is the number of buttons get decided at runtime, so if there are more than 4 buttons, the 5th button gets displayed really tiny. Also, when I tilt the phone, I get only the text and image showing, but no buttons because the image covers the entire screen. Layout thing seems to be pretty complicated to me, any help is appreciated!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a linear layout (oriented horizontally) that contains 3 buttons. I want the 3 buttons to have a fixed width and be evenly distributed across the width of the linear layout.I can manage this by setting the gravity of the linear layout to center and then adjusting the padding of the buttons, but this works for a fixed width and won't work for changing devices or orientations.
<Linear Layout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center">

I'm trying to build an activity that has a checkbox on top, a button at the bottom, and a bunch of other widgets scrolling in between. Conceptually that'sWhen it renders I get the checkbox at the top, the stuff scrolling nicely underneath, but the Button drawn offscreen (I assume) below the ScrollView. The only way I can get the Button to be visible is to hard-code the height of the ScrollView, which of course only works on one screen-size. I've tried all combinations of gravity and layout_weight I can think of to no avail. Am I using the right combination of Views? Anybody managed to get this working?
View 1 Replies View Relatedseems pretty straightforward.
CODE:..............
But doesn't work!
It scrunches the layout background as the background to each button, I want it to span all three buttons...
I have following in xml
I wanna put the second linear layout at the bottom of the screen.
I have set the property of second Relative layout to bottom but still not showing at bottom..

I have defined the layout which you can see at the end of this message. I do not understand, why the button is not displayed. If I move the button to the top that the rendering works.

Okay so with my code below for adding custom look to my tabs (works great), yet I am getting a border (padding or some sort of crop I assume) around my drawable image. How and where do I remedy this?
Activity:
TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
Drawable mySelector = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tabselector);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("TAB 1" , mySelector).setContent(R.id.textview1));
partial tabselecter XML:
<selector
android:id="@+id/myselector"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Non focused states -->
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_selected="false"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/darklogo"/>
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_selected="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/lightlogo" />
Main XML:
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:padding="0px"
android:layout_marginBottom ="-4px"
android:clipToPadding="false" />
Wouldnt let me post a screenshot...
I have the following code in my layout.xml.

In the eclipse Plugin layout creator, the EditText and button are shown properly. (see the below screenshot)
But on the device and emulator, the button is not hidden. (see the below screenshot)
why the button is getting hidden in the device?
I've been trying to figure out how to make some sense of a dumped XML layout, and it's progressing 'pretty good'. The only thing I'm currently unsure about is the following:
When I use the command:
aapt dump xmltree <pathofapk> <pathofxmlfile>
I get the following result:
CODE:.............
That's all good, but what I'm trying to figure out is how to convert the following code into the XML layout file:
CODE:.................
Converting those values to decimal would result in:
CODE:.................
All good, but I've been trying to figure out what the (type 0x5 means). With all other types, the result is defined in the Android.util.TypedValue.class file
Decompiling that, gives the following result for 0x5:
CODE:...............
Makes sense, in a way. But, I need to know what kind of value it is, so looking down, I find the following value:
CODE:.............
But, when I try to use 2561mm and 1025mm (It's a tad much anyway, 25cm is.. larger than my screen), The whole screen is filled with the 'parent LinearLayout'.
I have an Activity which uses a layout with a LinearLayout in it. Now I want to create in runtime a subactivity which loads some other layout and add this layout as item of my LinearLatout.

This code doesn't work properly as TextView text1 doesn't wrap it just stretches beyond the screen. I've managed to get it working by embedding this LinearLayout into RelativeLayout but it seems to be the least elegant solution plus I don't understand what's wrong with the code above...
I've a little problem with alignment in Linear Layout.I'm trying to have the frist two elements with left alignment, and the third at the center of the screen.Here is my code (cleaned from id, text, src) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Linear Layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" Here is what I'm trying to do, pink and yellow on left, red in the center pink = image view
yellow = 1er texview
red = 2ème textview. Any idea ?

I need to add a button to the above layout problematically which is right justified? I need to do that in code instead of layout xml file (this is because i can't modify that layout xml file). Here is what I am doing: LinearLayout header = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.header); Button buyButton = new Button(this); buyButton.setText(R.string.buy_ringtone); buyButton.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams( ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); header.addView(buyButton);
But the button does not appear. Can you please tell me how can i achieve that?
Is it possible to build a GridView object in XML with 3 columns and 4 rows of Image buttons? It doesn't seem to have similar containment relationship like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout viewgroups.
I want to do this entirely in an xml layout file. When I put ImageButton xml tags inside a GridView xml body, The layout panel in eclipse is throwing an exception: UnsupportedOperationException:addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView.
For a rather crazy reason I am trying to pass a linear Layout from one activity to another. Should I use an intent extra for this? What would be the right way to create a Linear Layout in one activity and then spawn a new activity using that linear Layout.

Is there a way to do a linear layout with multiple lines? I want to lay out a variable set of buttons with variable labels, so I'd like to use a layout that works as a simple horizontal LinearLayout, but with multiple lines, so the buttons spill into a second (or third) line if they don't fit on the first one.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a horizontal Linear Layout that contains a variable number of child Linear Layouts. Right now, the children will just run off the screen if there are too many of them. How would I make the parent layout wrap the children on multiple lines? If this is not possible, should I be using a different layout as the parent?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have this really annoying problem:In my widget, i would like to change the background by code. I noticed on the Google doc than I can easily change the background of an Imageview: remoteViews.setImageViewResource (R.id.my_iv, R.drawable.my_bg);Ok, too easy, i want to change now the Linear layout.. What I read about the remoteview id that I can change a Bitmap, Int, Bool, String, etc. but not a drawable. So i guess i cannot use:remoteViews. set Bitmap (R.id.my_ll, "setBackgroundDrawable",BitmapFactory.decodeResource(context.get Resources(), R.drawablemy_bg));I am totally disapointed and tried a last idea: views.setInt (R.id. my_ ll,"setBackground Resource" ,R.drawable.my_bg);But The logcat told me: android. widget. Remote Views $Action Exception: view: android. widget.LinearLayout can't use method with RemoteViews:setBackgroundResource(int)I am totally lost and I really don't know what to do.
