Android :: Bottom Of One LinearLayout Being Hidden By Other LinearLayout
May 25, 2010
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.

If 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 create a LinearLayout (orientation horizontal) which contains some TextView. The LinearLayout has a size of 1200px. When user move on, the screen, I would like to do like the Launcher application. I tried to use startScroll function. even if I set a distance, the layout doesn't move alone. Only distance did by user is slided. Does startScroll move alone all content? If yes, why my code doesn't work?

when I'm using a Datepicker on a LinearLayout and I set a date by finger, if I go to landscape mode the widget lost the date that I have previously set and set the actual date. It's a bug or I'm wrong something?

I'd like to get the height of a linearlayout. I found more information in this answer
View.getWidth()/View.getHeight() won't give you a meaningful answer until the view has been measured.
How will I know that view has been measured? Is there some event for it?
Solution for me is to get layout's height in overriden onWindowFocusChanged()

I recently struggled with an apparently simple Android layout: I wanted a WebView above a Button. It worked fine with the following parameters:
WebView:
Height: wrap-content
Weight: unset (by the way, what is the default?)
Button:
Height: wrap-content
Weight: unset
However if the web page became too big it spilled out over the button. I tried various combinations of weights and heights, and all except one either completely hide the button, or partially cover it...............

On the emulator, I see the custom SurfaceView _map Object take up the whole screen, except for the EditText text-box at the bottom, right where it should be. When I run the same code, same everything, on my Motorola Droid, there is no EditText to be seen anywhere. I figure that I am missing something with the LinearLayout implementation I have. Until now, I've gotten off easy on learning how to use another API's layout manager.
Here's the code:.......................

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?

I want to add some checkboxes to a LinearLayout at runtime. The orientation is vertical and I want the checkboxes to appear at the bottom. I create each checkbox like this: CheckBox box = new CheckBox(this);
Then I add the box to the current view like this: addContentView( box , params ); What should be the params to get the effect I want? So far, everything I've tried ends up overlaying the new checkboxes on top of each other and on top of the other items in the layout. I want everything stacked in a column with the new checkboxes at the bottom.

I have a vertical, set height (300px) LinearLayout (LL) with 3 nested LLs. 1 and 3rd are set with android:layout_height="wrap_content" and the middle one with android:layout_height="fill_parent". To my dismay, 3rd LL get's pushed out with 2nd one filling parent layout right to the bottom. How do I achieve desired effect since I want potentially resize the outside container with the middle portion expending and contracting to accommodate the change

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.
CODE:....................
As you can see I tried putting padding 0 and verticalSpacing 0 but I still get a space between them.

Is there a way of being notified when a TransitionDrawable has finished its transition? I'm looking for a way to animate the background of a LinearLayout, switching it back and forth between two images thus creating a pulsating effect. TransitionDrawable works nicely, but....once. I tried stacking several 'item' in the XML defining the transition, but no luck. It justs fades from item 1 to item 2 and sits there. I'm wondering if I shouldn't implement a custom Animation.

I'm obviously missing something fundamentally simple here. I have a LinearLayout containing 2 buttons. I've coloured the layout background red so I can see that it has expanded to fill its parent. I wanted the BooButton to center horizontally within the layout and the OtherButton to be right justified. But both buttons are on the left of the layout.

I'm sure I am missing something simple...
Background:
I am new to android and UI design, and I just wanted to play around with layouts. Right now I want to stack a checkbox on top of text label. I am using the following xml layout which works fine:
CODE:................
My Tests (just to get a feel for how things works):
Scenario 1) When I set the CheckBox's layout_height to "fill_parent", the CheckBox takes up the whole screen and is aligned center (i.e. - the TextView disappears).
Scenario 2) If I instead set the TextView's layout_height to "fill_parent", the CheckBox does NOT disappear. In fact, nothing disappears, and the layout looks the same as the above xml where everything is pushed to the top-left.
The Question (and comments): How come Scenario 1 works the way it works?
This behavior seems inconsistent to me. I thought that fill_parent is only supposed to let the element fill up whatever space is available in the parent. So to me, it seems that the TextView should get whatever space it needs (since it is wrap_content), but the CheckBox should take up the rest of the space (so the TextView would be forced to the bottom of the screen, but not invisible). In other words... Scenario 2 makes sense to me, but scenario 1 does not.

I'm trying to accomplish something fairly simple but struggling to get the right combination of layoutWidth/weight to make this work.
I have a horizontally oriented LinearLayout with width fill_parent containing two TextViews. The TextView on the right has variable width text, and I want the TextView on the left to adjust its size accordingly to as much width as possible. Essentially, the right TextView must always show all of its contents and the left TextView should extend as far as possible to the edge of the TextView on the right.
