Android :: Flipping Button Text Vertically
Jul 7, 2010What is the best way to flip a label on a button vertically or rotate it. If there's no way how can we flip the whole View, Button, TextView etc?

What is the best way to flip a label on a button vertically or rotate it. If there's no way how can we flip the whole View, Button, TextView etc?
I have the Button defined as follows:
CODE:..........
The problem is that 'drawableTop' image is aligned to the top border of the Button view. I would like to center it (together with text label) vertically on the button. 'android:gravity' seems to work only on text label. It does not affect 'drawableTop' positioning.
I was able to center it vertically using 'android:paddingTop' - but that does not seem to be a good idea. I guess it would not work properly on different screen resolution/size.
I have a textview placed vertically in an activity.. I Want the text within the textview to be shown as bottom to top facing right side.
My XML file is:
CODE:..................
I have a LinearLayout, which only contains one button. I want this button to be centered vertically and aligned to the right. I tried many ways, but I couldn't make this button centered vertically. It is always aligned to the top. I also tried to put a button in RelativeLayout, the button can not be centered vertically either.
The XML is as below. Is there anything wrong with this layout?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#E8E3E4">
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="More" android:layout_gravity="right" />
</LinearLayout>

I trie dthe following piece of code. It does not work. The line (wsing View tag) always stays at the top. I set the gravity to center_horizontal. Still no use. code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am planning an app with a "coin flipping simulation" function(Activity) in an Android phone. I am new to 3D (OpenGL) here , and I know there will be a lot of efforts to build from scratch. So , I am looking for an existing 3D engine , which is able to simulate :
Coin flip and drop , with G-Sensor , so that users can shake/wave his phone to see the coins flipping.
Able to get which coin is up or down after the coins drop.
Able to assign how many coins are in the 'hands(or virtual table)'
Able to render different textures to the coins
The simulation must be the more realistic the better. So there should be a built-in gravity algorithm.
OpenSource is welcome , and Commercial is acceptable too.
Can someone give me some suggestions , or existing libraries , or algorithms (gravity ...)
I have created a dialog to accept the name and password. code...
It will display the dialog but if I flip the device the dialog will get dismissed. How can I avoid that . I tried d.setcancelable(false) it works for only back key .
I am trying to set the Text of a Text View when a button is clicked.
I have been struggling, because the variable will increment, but If i put the code in to set the text, it crashes the app ?
Here is my code when it crashes:
Quote:
package com.example.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
[Code].....
however if I comment out the line
Quote:
score.setText(points);
, the app doesnt crash, but it doesnt do anything then.
How can i make a dynamic flipping screen(like that of iPhone) in Android

Suppose we have 2 activities with their respective xml files: Splash Activity ->splash.xml Menu activity ->menu.xml Now how we can flip between these 2 activities? That is from splash to menu and vice versa.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that my notifications were sporadic, both from e-mail and messages. I think I even missed a call once and was surprised because I never heard it ring/vibrate. After some testing I think I've figured out that when the phone is in my pocket, and I'm sitting at my office desk, the phone is face down in that same, fairly flat level position, that turns the ringer off if you flip your phone over on a desk while in a meeting. Is there any way to turn this feature off?

I am noticing the bars will fluctuate wildly while sitting at my desk in an area that has great Verizon coverage! I am looking at my Signal Strength and it is flipping from 89 dBm 12 asu to 0 dBm 0 asu without even moving the phone! What is going on?? Do I have a bad device, or is this normal? Thanks for any info.

WTH why do our American phones always come watered down when compared to the Asian and Euro models!!!! Sorry for the rant! But I paid for a hero with a Flipping Clock that actually flips!! P.S. i've done some Youtubeing and all the videos that have the Sprint Hero they don't flip why!

View 8 Replies View RelatedBefore I proceed, I would like to say that despite the complaints that follow, I absolutely love my Droid Eris.
1) First and foremost, the four front screen "buttons". These are a major source of aggravation for me. I would estimate that they only work about 25% of the time. The only way to get them to register my commands is to swipe them up or down which usually results in unwanted "taps" on other on screen functios.
2) The pinch zoom function worked great for the first week. Now I can very rarely get it to work.
3) Major lag when flipping through pictures in albums. Major! It's absolutely ridiculous. They're only thumbnails!
4) HTC flash only seems to work for about ten videos. After that, it just won't open when I try to play a video. They only way to get it back is to kill browser with task killer.
5) Not really a complaint, but it would be nice if the browser had options for on screen navigation buttons like back, home, bookmarks, Windows(tabs), etc.
6) The weather and clock widget displays the wrong weather,city,and time at least 95% of the time. The clock is the worst. Not even the same time zone which is extremely uncool. I very rarely look at the small system clock so it has caused me problems on more than a few occasions.
All of this I can live with...except for the four front screen buttons. They aggravate me to the point that I've wanted to throw the phone accross the room on more than one occasion.
Is there any way to rotate gallery view vertically instead of horizontal.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to display the text for some buttons vertically "down the screen" instead of horizontally. I don't want the orientation of the letters to change just the direction in which the letters are printed. Is there any way to achieve this, other than creatng a drawable that has the letters in this format and using it as a background? I guess I'd need to center the letters horizontally as well.

Thanks in advance.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIve just started fooling around with programming my Motorola Droid. I'm programmatic ally laying out an interface such that the text contained in my Button is sized at layout time to fit the button.My questions are:
(1) I know the pixel size of the button, what is the best way to set the text size to fit the button size?
(2) I can't seem to get it to center.I've tried a Gravity of 11 and that helps, but ist still not right.How do I get my text to center itself properly horizontally and vertically in the button?
How do I change the text on a button at run-time?This code doesn't appear to do anything, what am I doing wrong.
