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.

Since the root element is a LinearLayout, which extends ViewGroup, why does main.xml get turned into a View instead of a ViewGroup? For example, in my main Activity class, I try to get the number of subviews that the LinearLayout contains like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.layout.main);
Log.v("myTag", "num children: " + vg.getChildCount());
but it crashes when i call vg.getChildCount(). What is the right way of doing it?
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.)
I was looking over this code about extending an ImageView: http://marakana.com/forums/android/examples/98.html
And i was wondering how can i add the new View to an existing xml layout file, along with some other views.
Already i did this inside my main linear layout:
CODE:..........
But the problem is that this way the onDraw method doesn't get called.
Maybe some examples where you combine CustomViews with xml layout.
I want to create a grid of images with text right below the images.
I created in a xml file a image_text item which basically is a linearlayout with and imageview and a textview right below.
I created a tablelayout and I want to add my custom image_text.xml to the table row. But I dont know how to reference my xml file inside. If I use the include statament, how do I pass the image id and text to my item_text.xml? code...
I've a list view with custom list adapter(list_item.xml). I have multiple layout folder to support multiple screen size. I found out when I inflate using LayoutInflater, its always taking the view from main "layout" folder.
I've a phone with screen size "427x320".
This is my code:....................
I want the layout inflater to pick the list_item.xml from "layout-427x320" folder and not "layout" folder.
I'm beginning to study Android and have a doubt. How do I open a new layout and code (xml and java) by clicking a button on the main scene?

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.
I have an Activity which uses a layout with a LinearLayout in it. Now I want to create in runtime a subactivity which loads some other layout and add this layout as item of my LinearLatout.

I am using eclipse 3.5 with the ADT plugin.when I view layout xml files, i get two tabs in the view the source code view and a graphical view.the graphical view almost never works for any of my layouts.it usually shows "NullPointerException: null" at the top and nothing else. when it does work, it often does not match what i get in the simulator or device.it seems like this thing simply is not ready for prime time; although the idea is very cool.has anyone else had much success with it?

In android, there are different sub-directory under 'res'
* layout
* layout-finger
* layout-land-finger
Can you please explain what are the difference between these directories?
I need to create an application with 4 view. I need to pass from a view to an other simply by a touch and a move to the left or to the right (no button). The effect I would like is the same that you see when you navigate in the main menu of android when you pass from a page to another.
I have tested the ViewFlipper, but I cannot use it: it seems not to catch the touch event correctly. I don't even know if it is the right component.
I've successfully created a countdown kitchen timer activity, however my goal is to have an activity that has 3 timers on it that all work independently. I created a separate layout just for the timer itself and moved the timer code into a class and I've used layoutinflater to create the views and then added them into the linear layout for the activity. I get the layouts fine, however there's no functionality. There doesn't seem to be anything that ties the class code to the activity. How should I approach this? Can anyone point me to some working example code?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 5 layout folders. layout, layout-small, layout-normal, layout-medium and layout-large.
My app is heavily image based. As a result I have created the proper images. mdpi, hdpi and xhdpi. I don't think I need to worry about ldpi since screens are only getting bigger.
With this in mind and the need for me to now create a good landscape layout for all my pages, how do I go about this? Is it simple layout-land? No need for large/small/normal again right?
Considering that I've got all my hdpi and xdpi images do I even need layout-medium, layout-large and layout-normal? Because the images will be adjusting themselves based on screensize surely I can use one layout and have that work for all screens..?
It's all getting very confusing now that I'm trying to add a landscape view to my app. It doesn't do it very well at the moment so I will probably have to design a landscape friendly layout so I can understand that I would need to rebuild all my layouts for this particular use (We're talking about 100 layous here but oh well, I can manage it. )
Imagine I have a toolbar implemented as a horizontal LinearLayout as follows:
[___Button1____] [___Button2___] [___Button3___] [___Button4___]
When someone clicks on Button2, I want the toolbar to change to:
[___Button1____] [___________Button2___________] [___Button3___]
The toolbar should transition from the first state to the second state through a smooth animation. I would like to use a scale animation on Button2, and while that is happening, Button3 and Button 4 should move to the right (while the animation is going on). At the end of the animation (or maybe during), I will fade Button4 out.
Question: How do I achieve an animation of the layout of the toolbar such that only one component (i.e. Button2) is being scaled while the others are not being scaled - the layout is simply updated during the animation of Button2.
I looked at LayoutAnimationController, but it does not appear to allow me to either:
1. specify different animations for the different components, OR
2. indicate that only animate one component and don't animate the others.
I can't scale the entire toolbar because that distorts Button1/3/4 which I don't want.
Can I embed Tab Layout into other layout?
The designed layout is like below...
I just want to have tabs in my layout but not the root. Is it possible?
My layout files are growing and growing. So I came up with an idea of putting them in subdirectories. Is it possible? Simple code:
<include android:id="@+id/mLayout" layout="@layout/subdirectory/blahblah">
seem not to work.
I have the following code in my layout.xml.

In the eclipse Plugin layout creator, the EditText and button are shown properly. (see the below screenshot)
But on the device and emulator, the button is not hidden. (see the below screenshot)
why the button is getting hidden in the device?
How do I go about creating the following layout in Android?
I want a "header", that is, a header that stays the same at all times. The only thing that should change is the area below the header.
Think of it as a webpage, where the content-area is where its all happening =)

Sure, its easy enough to create a LinearLayot, add a View on the top and then another view below that - tada! But what Im after is how you "set up" or design the project so its easy to just change whats in the Content.
What I really would like is to be able to "swipe" (see here) the area and then just "roll in" a new View/thing in the Content-area, but keep the same header.
To create the following xml layout for the row of my listview
Here the Text is written in a textview and remaining 5 boxes are 5 different ImageView, and the Images should be clickable. How thetext comes over the images.
I want a layout with alpha=0.5 to cover another layout with a button. I got this. However I am still able to click the button of the covered layout, although the other layout is in the front.
This is the xml layout:

I have two XML layouts declared in the res/layout folder one contains the generic template and the other contains the views specific to a particular screen. I want to add the second xml layout to the first one i.e. the generic one. As both of these layouts are declared as XML, I am not able to add one to other. How do I solve this problem?
