I'm writing an app for DroidX which is 480x854.
I set up my AVD as follows:
CODE:..........
That's it. The emulator loads fine and looks great but my app doesn't fill_parent for some reason. See here:
It doesn't scale all the way up and I'm not sure why.

It seems that a TextView inside a LinearLayout forces that LinearLayout to be larger. I am trying split my screen top 50% and bottom 50% and also the bottom 50% is split into 3 parts. So I did my weights 3 (for the top), and then 1, 1, 1 (for the bottom) for a total of 6.
Here is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/3FJSW.jpg
As soon as I take out the TextView inside the first LinearLayout the splits are proper. The moment I put the TextView inside the top LinearLayout the top LinerLayout gets larger by the amount of the the TextView.
Here is my code:
CODE:............................
A simple ListView with, say, 6 rows (Views). Now, I want it to fit exactly a single screen. Any straightforward way to do this? Or should I go with a custom view?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIf I have 2 LinearLayouts split %50/%50 everything is fine. Weights are 1 and 1. As soon as I add a TextView inside the top LinearLayout, it stretches that layout. I use "wrap_content" as the documentation says I should when it comes to weights. As you can see the red and green should be split evenly and text on grey background should be inside red box.
Here is the code:..............
Now if I switch to "fill parent" as follows it actually works but it creates another problem. Here is the code (so far so good):
So looking at above we were forced to use "fill_parent" and we would think like we fixed the problem but here is the problem if we are using "fill_parent" (I took out the textview just to show the problem, textview doesnt make the problem go away anyways):
As you can see I assign the weights 3 (top red) and 2 (bottom green) but what actually happens is they get flipped: The red becomes 2 and bottom becomes 3. Just measure the pixels too see.
Here are the results of the 3 codes: http://imgur.com/iVt8g.jpg
I'm trying to create a simple view of a header image, few buttons, then footer image. I'm using a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView.
Even though i'm using the android:layout_gravity="bottom" for the footer image, it's being placed about 1 cm above the bottom margin.
I'm using the following xml config
CODE:...............
I have a RelativeLayout that has two LinearLayouts in it. One is a bunch of TextViews and EditTexts that make up a form and the other is a ButtonBar that submits the form.
anyways, everything looks great in portrait, but when i switch to landscape mode the bottom TextView/EditText element is being hidden by the buttonbar.
screenshot to show the problem. as you can see some of the "email" textview and all of the email edit text are being hidden by button bar.

How to either replace the in call screen or put something on top of it....the only solution I have found thus far is to make my own ROM, which doesn't make sense for such a small portion of an OS. however I found these two apps (Full Screen Caller Pictures and Full Screen Caller ID) that are able to put a contact image and button on top of the standard in call screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedKind of a newbie question, I suppose:
I've got a horizontal layout with Button, SeekBar, Button. I'd like the actual space (and active area) of the button to be somewhat wider than the image (a round dot) used for the button.
So I tried setting paddingLeft and paddingRight on the button.
But what I got was the round dot stretched into an oval.
How would I increase the width of the button without stretching the image?
is it possible to draw a 9-patch that tile its border instead of stretching it?
View 2 Replies View Related related to the the screen resolution change of Bluestacks for Windows.With changing registry entries it is possible to change the size to greater resolutions, for example FHD 1920x1080..Window and full screen will use FHD but the content is STRETCHED from a smaller resolution with gives text and some graphics an unsharp view.
Is it anyhow possible to get a REAL resolution change without stretching?

Is it a good practice to develop an app that uses the full screen?
It is not a game, full screen would be just nice to have more space on the screen for GUI elements.
But I have the dim feeling, that a full screen app could break some recommandations for good app design. The developer guide gives no answer to this. Who knows more? I'm learning how to develop on android and it is very important for me to learn it right.
I'm writing an Activity that should take up the entire screen.What happens is that the window title and notification bar are both visible for just a moment when the activity starts up. Then they slide off, leaving my activity with a messed up layout: a blank space the size of the notification bar gets left at the top of the screen, and a little bit of my layout gets cut off at the bottom of the screen.It appears that it's laid out the activity the size of the full screen, but then pushed it down a bit so part of it gets cut off.If I remove either one of the two lines above, everything works correctly and nothing gets cut off. But then I have a title bar or notification bar at the top of the screen, which I don't want.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI hate to bother you all again, as this is probably me, a newbie, making some big blunder, but I'm baffled as to why my mapview only takes up a fraction of the screen. I've been following tutorials.
My layout:
CODE:.................
The specified screen resolution is, as in the droid, 854x480. It shows up in the emulator in horizontal mode (wide, not very tall). The map starts about a third of the way from the left and ends about a third of the way from the right. It starts at the top and ends about a third of the way from the bottom of the screen. I have no clue why that would happen, as I specified "fill_parent".
Tried to search for this one but the search terms I used didn't seem to find worthwhile results. I'm creating an application to run on a device with a 800x480 resolution (the archos 5) so I've created an AVD in the emulator with that resolution. However, when I run my program in the emulator it simply shows the program with the default android size, centered in the 800x480 window. It is not stretched to cover the whole screen. How can I fix this? I'm using Android 2.1.

In landscape mode, the soft keyboard(IME-input method editor) is showing full screen and displaying the plain text. But my editText is a password field. So how can I show dots instead of the actual characters when the IME is in full screen. This happens in landscape mode, in portrait, its working fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI read somewhere in the Android documentation that (paraphrasing here): 'if you do make your own View take up the whole screen, it is then possible/even-advisable, to insert and manage the 'status-bar' within your View'. How do you do that? - i.e. insert the status-bar within ones own 'full- screen' View?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a simple app that is mostly native-code OpenGL with about a page of Java to interface to it. On my new Galaxy Tab, it creates a window that is about 480x800 pixels, while on other devices (including an AC100 with a larger screen) it fills the whole screen.
Searching the web, it seems that this affects many existing apps when they are run on this device, and there is plenty of end-user advice about how to make apps fill the screen. But I've failed to find any advice about how I should do it from within the app.
My current Java code is not much more than this:
