My dialog shows a relativelayout, which is set to fill_parent in both width and height. However, it doesn't fill the whole screen. I tried settting the window flags to full screen but that didn't help either. Can someone tell me how to do this?

I am using an activity with the dialog theme set, and I want it to be full screen. I tried all sorts of things, even going through the WindowManager to expand the window to full width and height manually, but nothing works. Apparently, a dialog window (or an activity with the dialog theme) will only expand according to its contents, but even that doesn't always work. For instance, I show a progress bar circle which has width and height set to FILL_PARENT (so does its layout container), but still, the dialog wraps around the much smaller progress bar instead of filling the screen. There must be a way of displaying something small inside a dialog window but have it expand to full screen size without its content resizing as well?
View 2 Replies View RelatedPulling my hair out on this one. I want a dialog that contains a ScrollView with an embedded TextView that will contain what could be a couple of pages of text. Below the ScrollView I want a close button. Everything I try that doesn't involve directly setting the height of the ScrollView results in the ScrollView filling the dialog and the button being invisible because it has been pushed off the bottom. I've tried about every combination I can think of for layout_height and layout_weight of both the ScrollView and the Button but always get the same result.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can create and display a custom alert dialog just fine but even so I have android:layout_width/height="fill_parent" in the dialog xml it is only as big as the contents.
What I want is dialog that fills the entire screen except maybe a padding of 20 pixel.
Then the image that is part of the dialog would automatically stretch to the full dialog size with fill_parent.
I'm developing an Activity with a simple LinearLayout with a button. When I try the activity on my hardware (WVGA 480x800 screen) the activity only fills the standard size (480x320) while the OS itself fills the whole screen.
What could be the issue.

Any idea why this doesn't create an activity that looks like a popup instead of an activity that completely fills the screen?

I assumed that I only needed to set the layout height and layout width to something other than "fill_parent", but it still shows up as a black screen that completely fills the screen.
Ultimately, I simply want to create a popup, but I do not want to use an AlertDialog. Is this possible?
I'm battling with Android's retarded layout system. I'm trying to get a table to fill the screen (simple right?) but it's ridiculously hard.
I got it to work somehow in XML like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1">
<Button android:text="A" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button android:text="B" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1">
<Button android:text="C" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button android:text="D" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
However I can not get it to work in Java. I've tried a million combinations of the LayoutParams, but nothing ever works. This is the best result I have which only fills the width of the screen, not the height:
table = new TableLayout(this);
// Java. You suck.
TableLayout.LayoutParams lp = new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
table.setLayoutParams(lp); // This line has no effect! WHYYYY?!
table.setStretchAllColumns(true);
for (int r = 0; r < 2; ++r)
{
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
for (int c = 0; c < 2; ++c)
{
Button btn = new Button(this);
btn.setText("A");
row.addView(btn);
}
table.addView(row);}

Why my ListView shows only the first item and does not fill the screen?
In my android application on click of image i would like to display a page which could provide a notepad facility to user. I placed a edit text with fill parent but the cursor starts from the middle of the screen.
Is there any way that i can start the cursor from the beginning.
How can I fill the screen with 2 horizontal colors, such that the down one will get 10% of the screen? (like a toolbar)?

View 8 Replies View RelatedIve been raking my brains trying to figure out how to play 720p movies on my HDTV in 16:9 aspect ratio (or 1.78), whereas it would fill the screen of the HDTV nicely just like Niko does it in this thread Video Demo: HTC Evo playback of HD/720p movies over HDMI out. I have a couple of 720p bluray movie files on my PC that i want to encode but now im not even really sure if they are really 720p. When i upload them into handbrake, it says that the source resolution is 1280x544 and the other one 1280x528 with a 2.35 aspect ratio. Doesnt the second number have to be 720 in order to be considered true 720p HD resolution? Everytime i try and change the 528 to 720 on hanbrake, it doesnt let me. And also handbrake doesnt havent an option where you can change the aspect ratio. When i finish encoding, i get the stupid black bars. i realize the video file might have been shot in a 2.35 aspect ratio or whatever but when i play it in VLC it allows me to change it to 16:9. Basically, I want the video to come out in 1280x720, 16:9, 1.78 resolution and aspect ratio as its default settings. This would be much easier if VLC was playable on Android. At the end of the day, im just trying to find out how to watch 720p video on the HDTV in fullscreen or almost fullscreen (i know theres a couple of inches of black bars in 16:9) just like the guy in the thread above.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a layout that has just a ScrollView visible. It has a relative layout as its child. This layout has several other layouts (mainly text views) as its children. When the text is not big enough, the scroll view does not expand itself to fit the whole screen. Instead, it shows a gap at the bottom where the background shows. I tried setting fillViewPort=true on the ScrollView, but that just made the first child layout (RL1) to fill the screen.

I've started learning about drawing things to the screen with Surface view and canvases, but I've run into a problem. At the moment, all I want to do is draw a background image to the screen, and have it fit the screen, regardless of size or resolution. I've figured out how to draw the image just fine, but it doesn't fit the screen at all.
Here is my situation: I'm developing on an Archos 5 internet tablet. It has a 4.8 inch screen and a resolution of 800x480 - putting it in the "Large" class of screens and "Medium" class of pixel density for Android. My background image is 800x480 - my thinking was that it would be displayed perfectly on my device, and scaled down on smaller screens.
But this isn't happening. When I place my image in the "medium" density drawables folder, the image seems "zoomed in" and I can't see it all on my device. And when I emulate the app with different screen sizes, it's all over the place.
I'm drawing my image in a Panel which extends Surface View. Here is the code:
Code:
package com.plant.drawing;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.view.SurfaceView;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.content.Context;
[Code] ....
In my layout, I set this panel's properties of layout height and width to "wrap content." I'm really new to Surface views and the like, so I'm sure I'm simply not doing something - but what can I do to make this image fill the background of any size screen? The image is a .png, by the way.
I noticed that the red zone games do not fill the whole screen. Is this normal?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm new to android but I've been working my way through the tutoials. Still trying to get my head round layouts in a non-html world and was wondering how to achieve the following....
1) I'd like to set a tiled background to fill the screen behind the whole activity
2) I'd like to place a graphic and a button underneath it centred in the middle of the screen.
3) When the user clicks the button I'd like to start a new activity and presumably I have to do something to the current activity so the user can use the back button to get back to it.
I have 2 buttons side by side in RelativeLayout (170dip each) but in landscape view, they are too narrow - I want to increase their widths automatically for landscape. I need a 'fill_parent' for two buttons at once kinda thing.

In restoreManagedDialogs, it has something to do with mManagedDialogs.As you can see, for advanced feature, you must do the saving and restoring job by yourself. It may be a night mare when you have tons customized dialogs. I have not tried the complex dialog (has input EdiText, listView, say). In this way, I'd like to warn users: Never rotate the screen when inputing your info in the dialog... OR, lock the rotation dynamically when showing the dialog.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my Nexus One a few days ago with 2.2 (Froyo). This morning when I went to use it I saw a Dialog sitting atop the home/launcher screen notifying me that an update was available and that I could choose to upgrade now or later. My question is, what API mechanisms is this using to show a Dialog (perhaps an AlertDialog) atop the home screen? Having written an Android app, it was my understanding that Dialogs could only be shown atop an Activity, and that a Service cannot show a Dialog (only a Toast).
