Android :: Centering Text In Button?
Nov 10, 2009
Ive just started fooling around with programming my Motorola Droid. I'm programmatic ally laying out an interface such that the text contained in my Button is sized at layout time to fit the button.My questions are:
(1) I know the pixel size of the button, what is the best way to set the text size to fit the button size?
(2) I can't seem to get it to center.I've tried a Gravity of 11 and that helps, but ist still not right.How do I get my text to center itself properly horizontally and vertically in the button?

Say I have a list of Strings with the elements:
"One",
"Two",
"Three",
"Four"
I want to center them in the middle of the screen but I want to do it in a way that the start of each word is next to each other.
Like this:
One
Two
Three
Four
Considering that the font probably has different length per character, how do I do this best in Android?

I have a background image about 100 x 100 that I want to center in an Android app. Is there a way to do this?
I'm thinking it would greatly help with orientation changes for simple apps.

I was wondering if there is a way for placing a view to the right side of another view and centering it vertically on the second views height. In know this can be done using a LinearLayout, but for other reasons the 2 views must be part of the same RelativeLayout.

Android:layout_gravity="center" doesn't seem to work the same in a RelativeLayout as it does in a linear one - I would just like both an ImageButton and a TextView to be centered in a relative layout - is there a basic xml code for this?

I am trying to set the Text of a Text View when a button is clicked.
I have been struggling, because the variable will increment, but If i put the code in to set the text, it crashes the app ?
Here is my code when it crashes:
Quote:
package com.example.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
[Code].....
however if I comment out the line
Quote:
score.setText(points);
, the app doesnt crash, but it doesnt do anything then.

i have tried almost everything i can think of to center a programitacally created table in a pragmatically created layout. I've tried all the usual layout params center setting but still nothing: Score List is a set of pairs of scores (Name, Score). I'm just looping through and adding them to cells in a table and its always aligned left when i run it.
ArrayList<Score> scoreList = new ArrayList<Score>();
public LinearLayout getHighScoresView(Context context) {
final RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new
[code]....

I'm running 240dpi on my n4 and I'd like to know how I would be able to center my google now launcher? If I turn it to landscape mode and i touch between home and recent apps, it'll launch google now. Even without using the shortcut. I would like to know how I can align these apps. I'm compiling from source so no worries if I have to edit any .java files. And no, I dont want to run aokp or PNA or PAC.

I want to display the text for some buttons vertically "down the screen" instead of horizontally. I don't want the orientation of the letters to change just the direction in which the letters are printed. Is there any way to achieve this, other than creatng a drawable that has the letters in this format and using it as a background? I guess I'd need to center the letters horizontally as well.

Is there a way to create Buttons that contain both an Image and Text (image on top text below or image left and text right)? And how can this be done within a xml layout file? For example, the application 'Pkt Auctions eBay' (see Android Market) has these type of buttons.So far I have tried and googled all over and found nothing on the matter. Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How can i rotate a view and keep it like that. I have tried the Animation method discuss in the following discussion thread.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
this works fine for the animation, but it does not handle the key press events itself.my requirement is simple, I need to show a text on a button upside down. Somewhat as if the parent view is drawn landscape and button is portrait.

I have...
PNG file for Background
PNG file for Icon (drawableTop)
Text I want to put underneath this Button
It's similar to a Menu Icon. How to do that? I only found following ways. Both of them arent very nice:
Make two Buttons, one for Text one for the Picture
The Background PNG File needs a transparent area at the bottom in the size of the text.

I've spent so much time trying to figure this out. I'm building a dialog layout and trying to get the Title centered relative to the dialog while having 2 buttons on either side of the title. The buttons are to be 'gravity-ed' towards far left and far right.
The easy part is centering the dialog, OR doing the buttons far left and far right. It's getting them to play nice with each other on the same line.
Easy way to think about it:
Title is centered in dialog
2 Buttons are independently aligned left and right on the same line. Any thoughts on how to do this?

A 'Button' view comes up with text, while the 'ImageButton' widget comes up with an image but no text, is there a way to relatively easily (e.g. method calls, say), either:
1. Add text to ImageButton (like those buttons that appear in menu item/via the physical menu button)?
2. Add an icon/image to a Button?
without resorting to constructing a new button class? I.e. I could put text within the image, but then I can't use Localization properly/effectively.

I'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image. If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text. If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android: drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display). One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw()-method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?
