I have the following layout. This defines a row in my ListView. I noticed that the text is not centered in the row. There seems to be extra bottom padding. How can I make the text appear in the center, vertically, so there is no padding? code...

As you can see in the link below there is an extra padding (around 2mm) below the EditText field. I can't seem to remove this padding in anyway. This occurs with other widgets as well (like Buttons). It looks like Android is default adding this extra padding to all elements.

I have a problem with rendering a ScrollView. Essentially, the layout is fixed header and footer with a scrollview in the middle. The idea is that when the screen keyboard is activated for the content EditText the image can be scrolled if the height of the image is longer than the middle view.
In testing the layout, I've found that on my Android phone (Xperia X10 Android 1.6) there is a whole heap of padding added to the top and bottom of the ImageView.
How I can prevent this from happening.

I have a horizontal LinearLayout. This LinearLayout has a checkbox next to another LinearLayout. The layout width/height of the checkbox is wrap_content, whereas the inner LinearLayout is fill_parent/wrap_content. The layout_weight of the inner LinearLayout is set to 1.
I've tried to add some android:padding around the checkbox to give some space around it, but no padding is given. I've also tried android:paddingLeft/Right/etc. How do I get some padding around my checkbox?
Note: I have an inner LinearLayout because I will be adding more TextViews

I'm using xml file to define progress bar. I defined padding on background shape. But this setting will be sometimes displayed correctly, sometimes not. So If I start my application or Activity with progressbar inside, there will be correctly displayed progressbar with background and 'padded' progress. Then I close my application and start it again, and, progressbar is displayed without padded background, on next start will be displayed correctly and son on ... Could you please advice possible reasons for this?

I have a list where i basically need a hierarchy of items. Any children of an item would be padded slightly, as to easily distinguish their parent item. How could this be achieved? Note that i could, if needed, make each parent show no children, and then when the parent is clicked, a new list containing all of it's children is loaded. This however requires more clicking to display information than i would prefer. Also, the items themselves will contain graphics and whatnot (to show a drag'n'drop button, etc), so it would be best if it visually appeared as if the item itself had a margin, rather than the contents of the item being padded.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a linear layout which has a background image (a 9 patched png file). How can I add padding to left and right so that the background image does not take up the whole width?

The whole background still stretches the whole screen width.

I'm following an example where the author hard coded a paddingTop to 370px. How do I make that paddingTop dynamic? When I run this in 2 AVDs with HVGA and WVGA80 I get the frame floating at different heights. I'd like to say something like paddingTop=80%, but that doesn't work.

I have a padding that I can't find where is it coming from.
XML is the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/gridview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:numColumns="2" android:verticalSpacing="0px" android:horizontalSpacing="0px" android:stretchMode="columnWidth"android:gravity="center" android:layout_margin="0dp" />
and in my adapter:
I can't seem to find the place where I can get rid of that padding (or margin). Pictures are 160px x 160px.
I have a shape with a gradient that I'm using as a divider between ListView items. I've defined it as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#ccd0d3"
android:centerColor="#b6babd"
android:endColor="#ccd0d3"
android:height="1px"
android:angle="0" />
</shape>
I would like to add 6 pixels of padding on either side of the gradient, so that it doesn't extend from edge to edge of the screen.
However, no matter where I put an android:left="6px" and android:right="6px", it doesn't seem to take effect. I can put it in the <shape> element, the <gradient> element, or in a separate <padding> child of <shape>, and it doesn't change anything.
How can I add padding on the left and right of my list divider?
I am trying to set padding in shape declared in XML file. But whatever I set, nothing changes related to padding. If I modify any other properties, I see updated UI. But it doesn't work with padding. Could you please advice possible reasons for this?
I will provide below example of my shape.xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ffffff" android:dashWidth="2dp"/>

<corners android:radius="11dp" />
<padding android:left="1dp" android:top="20dp"
android:right="20dp" android:bottom="2dp" />

I am probably missing something totally obvious, but can someone tell me how to add padding between buttons of a Linear Layout?
Code...
As the title says, I cannot get padding around the text.Here's my xml:
<style name="StandardButton" parent="@android:style/Widget.Button">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/nine_patch_3</item>
<item name="android:textColor">@color/white</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">10dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingRight">10dp</item>
</style>
Say I add a linear layout with top padding of 20. Does it mean that the layout is rendered with 20 pixels of padding in all phones? Or does it scale according to the height/width/density of the phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHere is a skeleton of the class I'm currently working on. Unfortunatly, i'm stuck on two problems and it's driving me mad !
The first problem is about the onKeyDown(KeyEvent) : I don't understand why this method isn't called while I pressed a key on the emulator. The second problem deals with padding. Indeed, I'm always creating widget using fake paddings in order to be sure my widget correctly handle those values. Unfortunatly, I tried to extend a ProgressBar and I had some problems because my ProgressBar is clipped.
My code is :
package com.niji.android.myhouse;
import android.content.Context; import android.graphics.Canvas; import android.graphics.Color; import android.graphics.Paint; import android.graphics.drawable.Drawable; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.util.Log; import android.view.KeyEvent; import android.view.MotionEvent; import android.widget.ProgressBar; Code...
I have an ImageView, and I want it to be clickable. The image itself is only 32x32 pixels, but I want the clickable region to be larger so it's easier to hit. I was hoping I could set the layout margin values to increase the size of the imageview's clickable area:
<ImageView
layout_width="32dip"
layout_height="32dip"
layout_margin="20dip" />
That doesn't work, what I could do is just recreate the image resource to have a larger transparent region around it. That's a bit annoying because it's hard to tweak if I ever need to change the clickable region. It's not just a single png either, it's a statelistdrawable so I have to resize 3 different pngs if I ever need to tweak the clickable area.
Anything else I can do?
Okay so with my code below for adding custom look to my tabs (works great), yet I am getting a border (padding or some sort of crop I assume) around my drawable image. How and where do I remedy this?
Activity:
TabHost mTabHost = getTabHost();
Drawable mySelector = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tabselector);
mTabHost.addTab(mTabHost.newTabSpec("tab_test1").setIndicator("TAB 1" , mySelector).setContent(R.id.textview1));
partial tabselecter XML:
<selector
android:id="@+id/myselector"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Non focused states -->
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_selected="false"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/darklogo"/>
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_selected="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/lightlogo" />
Main XML:
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:padding="0px"
android:layout_marginBottom ="-4px"
android:clipToPadding="false" />

I tried the following to try to display two buttons in a horizontal linear layout, with the edges of the buttons flush with the border of the linear layout. To my surprise, I found that there is always still padding between the buttons and the left, right and bottom edges of the linear layout. Only the top edges of the buttons end up flush with the border of the linear layout. Why is that? And is there a way to control this behavior?
<Linear Layout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#777"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip">
<Button android:id="@+id/feeling_done_button"
android:text="@string/done_button_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/feeling_cancel_button"
android:text="@string/cancel_button_label"

So I am using the techniques in this thread to use a custom background for my titlebar. Unfortunately the framework places my layout inside a FrameLayout (title_container) which has padding as seen below.
Is there anyway to remove the Grey borders? The frame layout is defined in com.android.internal.R.id.title_container, so accessing the frame by ID would be fragile.
In my android application i am using a image as background initially. Then on top of that i need to place small images and on top of the small images i would like to place a textview with some text on it.
I am using below code for that.With this am able to place the small images but the textview if i am trying to place it place in the next row and not over the image.
I also tried with adding the image as the background and then placing textview but at that case the padding and size of the image is not getting decreased.
Is there any way that i can have the images of size 60 by 60 and place a textview on top of these images.
Please share your valuable suggestions.
I've been trying to figure out how to make some sense of a dumped XML layout, and it's progressing 'pretty good'. The only thing I'm currently unsure about is the following:
When I use the command:
aapt dump xmltree <pathofapk> <pathofxmlfile>
I get the following result:
CODE:.............
That's all good, but what I'm trying to figure out is how to convert the following code into the XML layout file:
CODE:.................
Converting those values to decimal would result in:
CODE:.................
All good, but I've been trying to figure out what the (type 0x5 means). With all other types, the result is defined in the Android.util.TypedValue.class file
Decompiling that, gives the following result for 0x5:
CODE:...............
Makes sense, in a way. But, I need to know what kind of value it is, so looking down, I find the following value:
CODE:.............
But, when I try to use 2561mm and 1025mm (It's a tad much anyway, 25cm is.. larger than my screen), The whole screen is filled with the 'parent LinearLayout'.
When im creating the graphical user interface and apply padding (10dp) to the left and right sides of the email text box the padding dosent actually apply. Here are the current settings.
Code:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:paddingLeft="10dp" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
Basically i was the text box to fill the screen (width wise not the height) but have a 10dp gap on the left and right hand sides to make it look cleaner.
I just moved to ICS, and I'm doing some modding in it.
There's one thing I don't like and that is the spacing/padding on the left and right side in some (most) menus.
how to remove this?
Let me illustrate with a mockup:
The left is how it is, and the right is how I'd like it.
It is ofcourse also very noticeable in the Settings menu:
I'm trying to create some 9patch images that have some text as their content. I define the stretchable area with a black pixel line top and left. And I define the content area with a black pixel line right and bottom. However, it seems as though Droid is adding padding to the top and bottom of the content area, messing my layouts up. Has anyone else experienced this?
