Android :: Automatic/dynamic Margin In Layout
Aug 10, 2010
I was wondering if it's possible to set an automatic/dynamic margin (padding?) between elements in an Android layout without having to do it programmatically?
For example let's say there is a horizontal LinearLayout which is set to android:layout_width="fill_parent" and that contains five elements. Is there a setting that evenly shares the remaining empty space of the LinearLayout to the margins of the child elements?

My wife's Incredible will automatically rejustify the margins of a web page when she enlarges the type size, and will rejustify the margins if she then shrinks the type size. I cannot get the X to rejustify in this manner, except sporadically on BBC News. At the Verizon store, the Flextronic tech went through the systems menus and could not get the margins to justify either. Anyone know how to make the X rejustify the margins?

I'm using a framelayout to position 2 buttons in the center of the screen. I'm anchoring from the center (using layout gravity = center_horizontal) then applying Layout margin left = 50dip and Layout margin right = 50dip to each button. In 2.2 the margins are being drawn much larger than the numbers I've declared (50dip/50dip). It looks more like 125 or 150. Oddly enough, this doesn't appear to be happening with margin bottom/top, only left/right. Is this a bug, or a sign that I'm doing something incorrectly?

I am using the following Layout for the titlebar with a blue backround color
ndroid:textColor, that I get a changed titlebar for my HelloWorlApp, that is fine. But somehow on the left and right side there is some margin and I still can see some Grey from the original titlebar.
What did I wrong?

I have my layout (semi) done, and was wondering if I am doing it in the most efficient manner possible. The layout seems very nested, and I am getting warnings about nested weights but do not know how else to proceed.
I am including my layout file, as well as what I want it to look like, the play field is all that is left.
**Small note, is there a way to shrink the margin of a ImageButton? the large ugly grey lines around the players hand is kinda unsightly.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"[code].....

I have a layout which might be a bit unusual.
The structure is the following:
CODE:..............
My customRelativeLayout at the bottom of the XML has a XML layout too:
CODE:.............
My CustomRelativeLayout:
CODE:.....................
What I want to do: I want to be able to change the position of my CustomRelativeLayout. It should be follow my touch. Its smaller than the SurfaceView and should "slide" above following my touch...
There are two problems:
The onTouchListener bind to mLinearLayout (in CustomRelativeLayout) is only triggered once and only for ACTION_DOWN. I see the log output only once The note never changes the position, it is never redrawn with the changed matrix... I see the output stated in onDraw never after the touch happened.
First might be because the SurfaceView also handles touch events. But I thought if the CustomRelativeLayout handles it first, it should work.
Thanks to Xil3 I was able to remove the wall I was run into...
Here is my solution:
My note xml:
CODE:.................
And here is my constructor:
CODE:..................
I also found a bug/feature/issue, which is absolutely new for me: When I remove the background in my note root element (which is currently transparent) the note is only visible within the 200dp width/height I have set in the inner LinearLayout. So its not fill_parent, its wrap_content even as I set it to fill_parent. So layout_width and layout_height only use the given fill_parent when a background is set...

For an application I need to place some objects at the exact position that I want to have them and therefore I need to use AbsoluteLayout this time.
I want to add buttons dynamically exactly like in the following XML - but during runtime.
CODE:................
How can I archive this? I tried it with the following code to add a button, but I haven't found a function so far to set layout_x and layout_y. How can I do this?

I want to display contact information in a custom layout. My app lets the user select a contact, then I retrieve key pieces of info on that contact (phone #'s, email addy's, etc). I want to display them to the user so they look grouped logically. Sort of like a series of tables, so phone numbers, then email addys, then organization, etc.
I have a table format that I've been using in a different part of the app where I know the exact number of rows I'm adding and I have defined styles for the rows already. I want to reuse those styles for this data, but android sdk won't allow for you to set the style attribute programmatically.
I could create the tables in code and set all the attributes the same as in my defined styles, but it seems like a lot of extra coding.

I'm dealing with a problem you guys might not have faced earlier. I'm having a use-case in my Android application where the actual screen that I want to show to user is not stored in any layout file of my application. The layout of the of the screen is designed by server in this case, based on selection made by user on first screen.
Let me elaborate here,
1st Screen : List of check box with different biller names. (Imagine I've selected 2 billers from this screen)
2nd Screen : (The screen that server has decided how it should look like)
* Header,
* 1st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 1st Biller TextBox
* Image (a Separator image)
* 2st Biller name (Label)
* Amount for 2st Biller TextBox.
* Here there can be a checbox/radio/another TextBox anything.
* Image (a Separator image)
* Button (to submit above form back to server)
I hope makes some sense in what I'm planning to design. The current issues I'm dealing with are as below.
1). How to draw this dynamic widgets?
2). How to fetch user Inputs from this dynamically created widgets?

I'm trying to get my first Android app stable enough for the marketplace, and I've hit a brick wall with one exception that I don't understand. Probably I'm doing something stupid, but I can't tell what, and after several hours googling and experimenting, I thought I'd see if I can get some help. My Activity extends ListActivity, and the parts I think are most important are extracted below:
GroupedListAdapter is a simple class that extends BasedAdapter to provide headings for sections of the list (not unlike the Fancy ListView tutorials that are floating around).
I create this in onCreate, and it works fine. Inside onListItemClick, I do some actions which will create a different set of list contents. I "clear" the adapter, which empties the contents, and call reload, which repopulates it. Then I call notifyDataSetChanged.
Most often, this seems to work, but also fairly often, I get the exception following the code snippets below - this seems to indicate the ListView is not in sync with my changes. Lately this crash happens 100% of the time under the simulator.
CODE:.........................

I have a layout with dynamic content. It has a variable number of textviews. On each textview I have to attach an event, a click event. I have to pass to that event some kind of information to know what textview has been clicked exactly. How can I pass this kind of information or how is the android way to do it?

I want to add an unknown number of ImageView views to my layout with margin. In xml, I can use layout_margin like this:
<ImageView android:layout_margin="5dip" android:src="@drawable/image" />
There is ImageView.setPadding(), but no ImageView.setMargin(). I think it's along the lines of ImageView.setLayoutParams(LayoutParams), but not sure what to feed into that.
Does anyone know?

I have an element in the page that under certain circumstances has to get the margin-top increased. as the title says, the element is systematically rendered in the page via xml. Only in certain circumstances, and when that specific view is already rendered, I need to increase the margin. Is it possible at all? workaround?

Is it possible to add a little bit of space between a RadioButton and the label while still using Android's built-in components? By default the text looks a little scrunched.
<RadioButton android:id="@+id/rb1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Text"/>
I've tried a couple of things:
Specifying margin and padding seem to add space around the entire element (button and text, together). That makes sense, but doesn't do what I need.
Creating a custom drawable via XML specifying images for the checked and unchecked states, then adding a few extra pixels to the right side of each image. This should work, but now you are stepping outside the default UI. (Not the end of the world, but not ideal)
Add extra whitespace to the beginning of each label. Android seems to trim a leading space character, as in " My String", but specifying unicode U+00A0, as in "u00A0My String" does the trick. This works, but it seems kinda dirty.
Any better solutions?

I would like to know if there is any way of putting a margin in the top or bottom of the android screen.
I'm going to integrate a tablet in my car, but the dash is just a bit small in height than the tablet (not in width) so i need to reduce the height of the screen in about 3 or 4 mm. Is that possible???

I would like to change margin of my buttons in application. Suppose I have 5 buttons like this in a linear layout, one below d other. When I focus on a button, its width should increase (which I know how to handle) and at the same time, width should increase linearly towards both left and right. i.e. If the current width of the button is 250 with x co-ordinate as 50 (that means button's left is 50 and button's right is 300), when I focus on the button I should get x co-ordinate as 75 (left = 25 and right = 325). How to change the margin/x co-ordinate of the button?

I need to create a GUI (layout+views) in my .java activity class (I know it's far more flexible and easier to use .xml layout file, but I don't want to use it for now).
I can't find any setGravity() (but a "Gravity" object I can't figure how to use) or any set setMargin() method for the "View" object. What is the easiest way to do it?

I have a webview and i wanted it to occupy the whole screen but it seems to have 7-8pix margin on the right side which is being used to display the scroll bar.
Is there anyway I can remove that margin but still display the scroll bars? I want it to do it in the way GMail app layout is done.
Here is the layout that I am using <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"><WebView android:id="@+id/web_view"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"/> </LinearLayout>
I have tried setting the layout_marginRight="-8dip" but that is a hackish way and also takes the scrollbars off the screen making them invisible.

After some search, even in the WebView and related classes source code, I could not find where the built-in 8-pixel inner margin of a WebView is set. I would like to display a WebView with no inner margin: is it feasible, please? Or am I missing something and there is no top and left inner margin inside a WebView?

While developing for Android, I am unable to open more than one main.xml file in an Eclipse editor at a time.Each time I open one, it simply replaces the editor (tab) of the first main.xml with the new one, instead of opening a new tab - even if the contents of the existing tab were unsaved.Even stranger, I can open multiple main.xml files from different projects with no problems.This only happens when they're within the same project.
