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?

I'm creating a game where there's a screen that, for the most part, is shared by four different activites - but a key portion of the screen will be completely different, depending upon which activity is active. Basically, on the left will be an image of the player and along the bottom there will be a row of buttons (let's say for Armour, Weapons, Magic, Skills). This leaves the top-right portion, which will need to dynamically change to represent the button pressed. (So, one moment the top-right portion is the armour selection activity, and the next it's the weapon selection activity, and so on.)
Is this possible? Can I have a layout within a layout and dynamically point the nested layout at a (nested) layout.xml of my choosing? Or, am I looking at just duplicating most of the layout four times (for the four different activities?) Or, am I going to be looking at linking the four activities to a (the top-right) view component, and then having to dynamically construct all of *that* view's child views based on the currently active activity? Well, that's about as much sense as I can make this question make.
I tried to change the font on Kyocera Rise with Font Installer, after it was complete it required to reboot but now its on boot loop. When i go to Android System Recovery the bottom says E:cannot load volume /misc!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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?
xml file:..................
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.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm doing the HelloViews Gridview tutorial and I ran into this problem.
http://grab.by/9Vn
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?

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy parents are going on a trip in a month and they have there heart set on taking a smartphone with them.What they need is being able to call, text and mail.They also want to be able to use it as a backup (just in case) for finding their way. So just in case they get lost to find out where they are on their map or use the gps to guide them for a little while.
So basically, calling, sms, mail and gps. They don't need to be able to change a lot of settings.So, I was thinking about installing their (yet to buy) smart phone with a simple home screen and the settings they would need. To keep them from accidentally messing anything up, I was wondering if it is possible to password protect settings and stuff.
-how to protect settings etc.
-a good home screen
-other things like very simple gps app for example
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 RelatedAs 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.

Here 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" />

So I got my first Android phone, this Evo 4G last week. It's really great and I love it but I have all kinds of crazy stuff going on, triple contacts, facebook contacts, my gmail account contacts, my business google apps contacts, just things seem kinda out of control since it's my first Android phone. So I'm thinking about just starting with a clean slate, now that I know a lot more about what the phone can do, which calendars to you, which sms program, other apps that are must-haves. Is this a good idea? Will it do anything to my SD card, which has all of my apps backed up?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen our app gets updated sometimes the buttons on existing widgets get the wrong icon drawables, and sometimes the layout itself is broken. I believe this is because the update has different values for some of the drawable and other resources, since they're generated alphabetically, but the widget host still retains the old ids. A delete and re-create of the widget fixes the problem, but a number of users get confused by it and of course it just looks bad.
Is there something I should be doing to prevent this? If not are there any workarounds, other than making all the resources used by widgets start with "0" or something equally ugly?
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?

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#777"

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.
