Android :: Example To Layout Elements Programmically?
Mar 9, 2009
From http://d.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html, it said "Instantiate layout elements at runtime. Your application can create View and ViewGroup objects (and manipulate their properties) programmatically."
Can you please tell me how/where I can find example for that?
For example, how can I convert the following layout into Java code of my MyWidget. So that when I put "<MyWidget...>" in my layout xml file, it will automatically build a Gallery inside the MyWidget? code...

place an image central top
place a button center center
place a button left bottom
place a button right bottom
it doesn't sound that difficult no ?
well I can't figure out a way to place the elements as I want using stupid xml layout.

Is there any way to set my sliding drawer on top of other elements in my layout? I have an ImageView which is intended for an album art and I would like to have a sliding drawer overlay at the bottom of that ImageView.

What I am trying to achieve is #1 but what I get is #2

It seems linear layout stacks with height of it's first element and shrinks second's element height to that. The XML for those is the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#FFFFEE"
>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/thumb"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/example"
android:layout_weight="5"
/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:text="
/>
</LinearLayout>

Can you please tell me how can i set the width and height of an ImageView programmically in java code (not layout xml file)? I tried setMinimumWidth/setMinimumHeight, but that does not work. I have looked at the view in HierarchyView, it still said the width to be 80 and height to be 100. And that is not the value I set.

In android, I create my menu item like this?
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(0, 0, 0, "Menu1");
menu.add(0, 1, 0, "Menu2");
return true;}
How can I set all the menu item disabled programmically (in another part of the code in my activity, not in onCreateOptionsMenu() method itself)?

I'm trying to modify two TextViews in exactly the same way. I thought I can give them same id and with findViewById() and setText() methods change those TextViews in two lines. But it seems only one TextView is changed.Is there a way to do this?Or I have to make different ids for every element, get every element by findViewById() method and set it's text?

I'm having trouble positioning the layout elements. The AutoComplete in my TableLayout and the button after it are expanding the TableRow larger than the width of the screen. Anyone have an idea why? Below is my XML code as well as a picture of the problem...

In my application I change layouts very frequently with most of the user interactions. Each time when a new layout is drawn, the applications memory size is increasing. I can see this in DDMS. This is absolutely fine. I have analyzed my application with memory analyze tool and it shows that there around 42 Table layouts at some point of time and this number increase as user does more interactions with the app. Now my question is why doesn't the GC collect the stale layout objects. Does GC collect on UI widgets also??? I feel it does but can any one tell me what may be the reason for GC not collecting my UI elements.

I need to add some parts of my UI programmatically. I'm doing this because I need to set the ids of some elements up in such a way that they can be easily access in a for loop. So far I have this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/attr_row" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <EditText android:id="@+id/attr_name"
android:hint="Attribute" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<EditText android:id="@+id/attr_val" android:hint="Value"
android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/drop_attr" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/btn_delete_states"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" /> </LinearLayout>
At the moment, I inflate this xml five times like so:
for (int i = 0; i<5; i++) { LinearLayout attrList = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.attr_list);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.attr_row, null);
LinearLayout extraAttr = (LinearLayout) row.findViewById (R.id.attr_row);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
attrList.addView(extraAttr, i, params); }
The link below shows two pictures - the layout hierarchy and the result in the emulator. http://picasaweb.google.com/bengoldcross/Android?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ785I...
As can be seen, the xml is inflated five times successfully but only one is actually displayed. Inspecting the hierarchy viewer a bit more explains why. The layout being displayed is at location x=0 y=111 all the others are being rendered at x=320 y=111. It would appear they are being displayed a) off screen and b) on top of each other. So, why are they and how do I stop it from happening?

Here's a quote from Android's Dev Guide: A central feature of Android is that one application can make use of elements of other applications (provided those applications permit it). For example, if your application needs to display a scrolling list of images and another application has developed a suitable scroller and made it available to others, you can call upon that scroller to do the work, rather than develop your own. Isn't it a bad practice to make an app dependent on other apps?

I have a database filled with records in the following format: . What I want my application to do is select records from an external database, and display those records on the phone screen using a SurfaceView.
Currently, I have an Activity, and a Service responsible for the record-gathering portion of the application. The Activity passes an intent to the Service, and the Service responds by returning the records that need to be displayed. The records are stored in my program as instances of the Data class, and merely have the screen-coordinates of where the element should be drawn in the View (I am just drawing a circle for every record in the DB).
For the sake of brevity, I won't include the service but I will include a skeleton of the Activity class and the Data that I wish to display.
CODE:.................
The problem that I am having pertains to the SurfaceView. I realize that many people are going to suggest that I use just a regular View, but my application involves a lot of elements, so a SurfaceView would be much more suitable for my needs. Below is a skeleton of my SurfaceView class that contains a nested class to manage the threads.
CODE:............
The problem that I'm having is that once I make the initial call to the Panel class, I'm going to be getting new records from the service, and consequently, my Info Map data-structure is going to get updated. However, my Panel class just gets stuck in a loop and never receives any new Data objects. All examples of SurfaceViews I've found have involved updating them methods within the SurfaceView class itself (e.g. touching the screen and creating a new image, etc.) Sadly, I'm stumped on this particular problem. Is there a better approach for designing my Activity/SurfaceView interaction? Is an additional View required?

This is probably a very "newbie" question as I'm relatively new to the android sdk, but figured this would be good place to ask.
Say you have a layout with several textviews that all have sequential IDs (ie, tBox1, tBox2, tBox3, etc).Is it possible to reference each box in a loop? Something like:
do { iCount++; View tvBox1 = findViewById(R.id.tBox[iCount]); }

I am trying to send a list of objects from an android mobile phone app to a j2ee webserver.
I create json objects and then put the objects into an jsonarray(in an order) and then send it. I am able to receive the jsonarray on the server, obtain the objects individually too, but the order of how I inserted the objects into the jsonarray is different compared to the order present in the received array. The order of elements plays a crucial role in my data processing. Could somebody please tell me a workaround for this.

There's a webpage I pull up with webview, however i'd like to hide the 1 text link at the top. Is there a way to do this? The link is in the body, so I can't hide the body element in whole.
The webpage is all text, and one tiny image at the bottom, but the text is generated each time you load it, so I can't just copy/paste the body.

When I have a ListActivity and an Adapter how does Android handle a list with 200 elements.
Does it try to load all of them directly how does it wait till the user scrolls and then renders those elements?
Do I have to worry with performance when a list is too long?

I would like to create a user interface which would contain network indication icons (3G, WiFi...) and I would like to use existing graphic elements which are displayed in notification bar.
Does anyone know how to get these existing elements and use it in custom layout?
I guess these icons are all ImageView elements and I am wondering whether it is possible to retrieve them with findViewById() method...

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.
