Android :: Dynamically Sizing Views As A Percentage - Or Similar
Mar 8, 2010
To use as an example: lets say that I have 2 EditTexts and one Button that I'm using as a login form. I want the EditTexts to be the same size, one after the other, with the login Button half their widths. Something like this:
The only way that I've been able to find to make the button 1/2 the width (but still maintain it's dynamic sizing) is to use a TableLayout with an empty view as the first field. Something like this:
CODE:.............
That feels like a god-awful hack and there has GOT to be a better way. Do you know of one?

I'm trying to learn how to build apps for Android. The first simple app, which will become a component of a bigger app I hope to build, is to have a button on the screen where, when tapped, it adds something new to the view. For instance: Imagine a layout that only has a button:
[Create!]
When that button is pressed, the view gets a new row added to it:
[Create!]
A Something!..............

In my main.xml layout file, I define a FrameLayout. Then in another layout file (say overlay.xml), I define another layout.
At runtime (onCreate) I want to create a new View object, set it's layout with overlay.xml, and add it to the frame dynamically. I need access to the elements of the overlay, to change text etc.

I use a LinearLayout and first I have a MapView and below the map I have a TableLayout with informations fields.
Now I would like to add additional information fields (e.g. a new TableLayout) when the user select a specific menu item on the Options Menu. I would like to have these fields either between the MapView and the TableLayout, or on top of the bottom area of the MapView.
How can I add this TableLayout with additional information fields dynamically after the user has selected a menu item? How can I show it below the MapView or on top of the bottom area of the MapView?

Is there (or should there be), a generateId() method for dynamically generated Views? Take the RadioGroup example in APIDemos|App|Views. Radio buttons are added dynamically. For each button, you have to call setId(). To be notified when a radio button is selected, you register a onCheckedChange listener on RadioGroup and the callback method is oncheckedChange(RadioGroup, int checkedId). Since we are notified only the id of the checked view, shouldn't there be a way to uniquely generate the id? Say, a View.generateId() method... In the example, the ids are statically defined in ids.xml. However this limits the number of radio buttons. I have a real world example too: a Radiogroup with each choice representing a Wifi hotspot. So one cannot know in advance the number of hotspots.

I have a remove assistant app, which allows customers to perform a subset of functions of a desktop application, untethered. Results are communicated back & forth via messages left at a license server. In order to have a single source for the logic of the assistant, yet run on multiple platforms (Swing, MIDP, & Android), I write a driver composed of Database, Network, & Display pieces.
The Android driver is nearly complete, but I run into a brick wall when it comes to Tabs. All views are instanced calling code, not XML defined. I already have the view before I try to add it.
I tried sub- classing TabHost:
CODE:.................
As is shown in the code, it errors in setup. Looking further down in setup() I will also get this exception too: Your TabHost must have a FrameLayout whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.tabcontent
Is there a way to trick setup() into instancing me mTabWidget & mTabContent members?

I am trying to dynamically create a interface using a relative layout. I would like to align different views with each other and am finding the need to know the id of a previously created view so that I can use them in subsequent layout params.
Is there a preferred or best way to generate or create ids for views that are created dynamically?

I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.

I have a TableLayout with three columns that represents a form with
requiredSymbol | label | inputfield.
I want the input field to fill the remaining width of the screen right to the label. So far the only solution I found is this
CODE:....................
The maxWidth needs to be there are some value, which is actually ignored. Then the stretchColumns value does its thing nicely. Note that this also works if the content of the EditText would otherwise make the table span beyond the screen border (imho a bug..).
This works nicely now but seems a little bit of a hack to me. Is there a better way?

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.

I am trying to display an image from a URL, which may be larger than the screen dimensions. I have it kind of working, but I would like it to scale to fit the screen, and I also have problems when the screen orientation changes. The image is tiny, and I would like it to scale its width to the screen as well. (In both cases, I would like the image to fill the screen width with scrollbars (if necessary for height).
Here is my ImageView:
CODE:..............
Here is the java code which loads the image: (some error handling code removed for simplicity)
CODE:.........
I have tried different settings for android:scaleType. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. I've gone through a number of tutorials on the subject, but they don't seem to work for me. Not sure if it has anything to do with the way the image is loaded. (from the web instead of a local resource)
Another issue is that sometimes the image doesn't even load. There are no runtime errors, I just get nothing in the ImageView.

I am implementing a music player application in Android. My play list selection screen is implemented as a tab selector widget which contains a ListActivity inside each of the tabs: Artist, Albums, Songs.
I want to update the ListView in each of the ListActivity when I delete an item from any of the lists.
i.e. When I long press an item in the Artists list a context menu is drawn with "Delete Artist"
And it should delete all the songs from this artist in the Songs ListView, delete all the albums by this artist in the Albums ListView, and finally delete the entry for the artist in the Artist ListView.
Each of the ListActivity has its own fillData() method, which updates the ListView when the button in the context menu is pressed.
How can I call the fillData() method of the Albums ListActivity after I update the ListView inside of the Artists ListActivity?

I have the following XML code:.................
The idea is to change the views, whenever I press one of the radio buttons. When I press a button the first time everything works out fine, but the second time I press a button, I get an IllegalStateException, and I can't quite see why I'm getting this.
Also, the Activity seems to set all my global variables to null, which is why I have to create them every time I switch from portrait to landscape or vice versa. So I would like to know if there is a way I can save my views in the Bundle, or any other way in which I can permanently save my views, so I don't have to add or create them every time, I flip the phone. And whenever I flip the phone, it seems that it rereads the main XML file, causing the RadioGroup to be set to 2D even if the 3D button is checked. This is because I've said the 2D button to be checked from when the app is first created, but I would like to also save the state of that RadioGroup.

Is there any way to query a root view of an activity for all of its child views even before the root view or its children have been inflated? I guess what I'm looking for is whether a view knows ahead of time what children it will have before it gets inflated, and can I get that list in some way. Bizarre I realize, but I think it will help me with some unconventional automation testing I'm working on. I haven't found anything in the API like this.

Let's say I have a LinearLayout, and I want to add a View to it, in my program from the Java code. What method is used for this? I'm not asking how it's done in XML, which I do know, but rather, how can I do something along the lines of (One View).add(Another View) Like one can do in Swing.

On average its 40%, pretty much after normal use at any given time mine is at 40%. seem normal or a bit high? i have system panel and no app seems to be hogging or anything like that.edit: after some tweaks my android system is anywhere from 10%-40% tops.

I have a WebView which I'm trying to have scale to a certain percent on loading the page. The iPhone version of this software uses the HTML meta-tag:<meta name="viewport" content="width=320, initial-scale=0.95, maximum-scale=2.0, user-scalable=1">..Since Android's WebView doesn't seem to respect that tag I hard-coded the percent using setInitialScale(). However, the WebView is just flat-out ignoring this method call. No matter what number I put in there it shows at 100%.

Motorola Droid user coming from iPhone here. One of the features I miss is having the battery percentage indicated in the status bar next to the little icon (in fact, I'd rather just have the percentage rather than the icon). Is there an app to show that in the status bar? It seems the precision of the battery meter is by 10% increments until it reaches 20%, but even that would be better than just the icon.

I noticed that it is not possible to specify a percentage value for maxWidth.
What is the best way around this?
For example, in the layout xml, is it possible to get a handle on the screen width and apply some kind of arithmetic to it (e.g. maxWidth="(60 * @screenWidth) / 100px")
Also would this approach mean the maxWidth would be automatically recalculated on orientation changes?
