Android :: Fill Layout With Buttons?

Mar 13, 2010

I want there to be buttons at the bottom of the screen, but if the screen size is larger, more buttons would be added.

For example, at a small screen size, there might be 4-5 buttons at the bottom, but if you ran it on a tablet or something similar, there would be maybe 20 buttons.

It can't scroll either, it just has to dynamically fill the layout with buttons.

Android :: How To Layout Image Buttons In A Grid View From Xml Layout File

Jan 23, 2009

Is it possible to build a GridView object in XML with 3 columns and 4 rows of Image buttons? It doesn't seem to have similar containment relationship like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout viewgroups.

I want to do this entirely in an xml layout file. When I put ImageButton xml tags inside a GridView xml body, The layout panel in eclipse is throwing an exception: UnsupportedOperationException:addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView.

Android :: Relative Layout Height To Fill Remaining Space

Sep 9, 2010

I have the following layout in my xml file:

<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/logoLayout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
-- some images </FrameLayout>
<RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_below="@+id/logoLayout">

Button 1
Button 2
Button 3
Button 4

</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="5dip"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

Button 5

Android :: Android Layout - Set Tiled Background To Fill Screen Behind Whole Activity

May 11, 2010

I'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.

Android :: How To Make Layout "fill" Available Space In Middle?

Feb 2, 2009

Let's say I want to make a layout that has 3 TextViews, one on top of the other. But, I want the top TextView to always "stick" to the top of the screen (regardless of orientation), and I want the bottom TextView to always "stick" to the bottom of the screen. Then I want the middle TextView to always fill the available space in between (again, regardless of screen orientation). I've had no luck with LinearLayout and I've come close with RelativeLayout but neither have provided by desired solution.

Android :: Want To Move Buttons Within Layout

Feb 8, 2010

I tried so many things to relocate buttons of a list. Relocate the current button is working but the older buttons not. To clarify the situation:

There are two Activities (Activity A and B). At Activity A I customize a button and pass it on Activity B via an intent. On Activity B I move the button somewhere on the screen. This will be done with other buttons. On Activity B I also want to show the old Buttons.code..

As above mentioned, I want to move the Buttons and set them somewhere on the screen (e.g. down right). But everytime I call Acitvity B again, all Buttons are located at top left. I thought it would be achieved with .

Android : How To Block Buttons With A Layout Above All

Sep 21, 2010

I'd like to add a transparent panel (relativelayout) with fill_parent in width and height.

I want to use this "glasspane" in order to block all buttons underneath. Unfortunately I cannot find the right setter / xml attribute for this.

These wont work:

.setEnabled(false); .setPressed(false); .setClickable(false); .setFocusable(false); .setSaveEnabled(false); .setSelected(false);

Maybe its better to understand if I tell you that I want to create my own dialog without extending the class Dialog.

A dialog also puts a transparent glasspane above all and absorbs all clicks underneath...

Android :: How To Position Buttons In Linear Layout?

Aug 18, 2010

RelativeLayout is more flexible, and can do what AbsoluteLayout can do and more.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RelativeLayout....
To place views on top of one another you can also use FrameLayout, positioning these frame layouts in their parent layout:

> I have an image that will have 5 different areas that will be "clickable." Each clickable area will be invisible and play a different sound. I was told not to use an absolute layout, and use a linear layout instead. However, I am now having an issue with placing the buttons over the picture. The linear layout does not allow me to position them correctly where they need to go. How do I properly position a button so that it is over a certain part of the image?

Android :: A SurfaceView And 2 Buttons On A Layout Cannot Be Displayed?

Jun 6, 2009

I have a simple problem which makes me feel like a stupid. I really need help on this.

I have a SurfaceView which I created with Java code not XML. I created a MediaPlayer which shows its content on that SurfaceView.

When I use, setContentView(mPreview); // where mPreview is a SurfaceView

The video is played on the screen.

I need to add two buttons on the screen. So I tried something like this:

code:.........

This did not change anything. Still the video is displayed on full screen and no buttons appear. I am a java programmer both SE and ME. Things are done in this way on Java.

Does Android have a different approach?

Android :: Linear Layout - Series Of Buttons In Bottom

May 2, 2010

I am trying to build a layout dynamically which display some text and image for the most part, but has a series of buttons placed next to each other in the bottom. I have a linear layout that carries the text, another linear layout that carries the image. And yet another linear layout that carries the buttons that get created in a for loop. I have a main layout aligned vertical that adds the text, image and buttons layout, in that order. To finally generate something like this: Text Image Button1 Button2 Button3. The problem is the number of buttons get decided at runtime, so if there are more than 4 buttons, the 5th button gets displayed really tiny. Also, when I tilt the phone, I get only the text and image showing, but no buttons because the image covers the entire screen. Layout thing seems to be pretty complicated to me, any help is appreciated!

Android :: Menu Buttons In Bottom Part Of Layout

Sep 16, 2009

My application has some buttons in the bottom part of activity layout, almost the same like iphone has on ipod app for example. I would like to create my layout so that it will self adjust on different screen sizes.

For example if the content in my layout has height = 400dip and the menu bar in the bottom has height = 100 dip, on every screen size (240*320, 320*480 etc.) i would like the menu bar to stay at the bottom so :

- on screen size 240*320 -> 100dip - for menubar -> 220dip - for content => it remains 180 dip to show, so this content area should be in some kind of a scrollview so that i can view 400dip in only 220dip.

I have tested different possibilities, with relativelayout so that the menu bar could stay on bottom, but i could not put the scroll view on top so that the scroll appears only on small screen sizes.

This is so sick, how do you build your layouts for different screen sizes ?

Android :: Achieve Square Layout And Buttons In Main.xml?

Oct 30, 2010

I would like to have a layout with 5 times 5 buttons. Each of them should have the same width and height (they should be square). And I want the whole matrix to use the screen width (or height, depending on rotation).

I currently do it "by hand" in the Java code:

CODE:...........

This can be improved by obtaining screen width first and then dividing by 5 to get rid of this literal 60. But I'm wondering how I can do this in the res/layout XML file? How can I specify for the height to be the same as the width? (I can set the width to match_parent.)

Android : Layout - Switch Between By Using A Set Of Buttons That Is At The Bottom Of The Screen

Feb 19, 2010

My app has 5 different relative layouts that it can switch between by using a set of buttons that is at the bottom of the screen. 3 of the layouts contain only TextViews and ImageViews. The other 2 both have a ListView in them. On the 2 views that contain lists when the soft keyboard appears the buttons that are along the bottom move up to on top of the soft keyboard. But on the other 3 views the buttons get hidden by the keyboard. The buttons all have the attribute android:alignParentBottom="true" does anyone know why they'd be behaving differently when one of these two are the active layout at the time?

Android :: Way To Completely Eliminate Padding In A Linear Layout Containing Buttons?

Nov 6, 2010

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">
