Kind of an newbie question, I suppose -- I haven't done much playing with layouts yet I want a spacer in a layout to space some text down below the "live" part of a background image.

Any insights/pointers regarding creating a layout like this. I have wasted quite a bit of time on this. I want to create a vertical linearlayout which has multiple ExpandableListViews separated by TextViews.
CODE:.........................
I tried the following approaches but each of them has one shortcoming or the other:
1. Add TextView and ExpandableListViews to a linearlayout. The problem with this approach is that LinearLayout by default is unscrollable.
Adding the LinearLayout to a ScrollableView creates even more issues because ListViews handle their own scrolling behavior.
2. I tried using a single ExpandableListView to model the above layout but the problem is that setGroupIndicator applies to the entire ExpandableListView, not a specific group.
I have a Gridview, include hundred of items (thumbnail images). I set a multi-select mode, in this mode, user just need to swipe his finger to start selecting multiple items (this case, gridview can not be scrolled). And in a normal touch, Gridview still can vertically scroll for user to see other thumbnails and continue selecting.

View 4 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI know my original post (at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa..., I could not find a way to perform a reply, maybe it's too old) is not sexy, but I'm now facing that problem in many situations. Let me please rephrase what I attempt to do, and what my problem is.
I have a RelativeLayout made of three widgets (named 1, 2 and 3 on the illustrations below): one attached to its parent left border (labelled 1), one to its parent right border (labelled 2) and the third (labelled 3) inserted between the 2 previous ones (its left border is attached to the first widget right border, and its right border is attached to the second widget left border). The third widget (the middle/central one laballed "3") is far taller than the two others, and I would like the first and second items (1 and 2) to be vertically centered with the middle widget.
I have resorted to the "android:layout_centerVertical" attribute for both the first and second widget, but I do not get the expected result. See at the bottom the various layouts I'm mentionning. Could someone please help me, and tell me whether what I intend to do is feasible, and how? Thank you for your time.
Layout with no "android:layout_centerVertical" specified: ------- |1|3|2| --|3|-- |3| ---
Layout with "android:layout_centerVertical" set to "true":
--- |3| |3| |3| ------- |1| |2| --- ---
What I'd like: --- --|3|-- |1|3|2| --|3|-- ---

View 2 Replies View Relatedis it possible to have both Scrollbars together. My Application is too big for just one of them.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm really tired looking for a solution for Scrollview vertical and horizontal. I read that the any view/layout implements this feature in the framework but i need something like this. I need to define a layout within other, the child layout must implement scrolling vertical/horizontal for moving. Initially implemented a code that move the layout pixel by pixel, but i think that is not the right way. I tried with ScrollView and HorizontalScrollView but any ones work like i want, because only implement vertical or horizontal scrolling.

I'm using a Nexus One and the Camera displays horizontal when it should be vertical and vice versa. I've no idea what's wrong. The code works fine on a HTC tattoo.
class Preview extends SurfaceView implements SurfaceHolder.Callback {
SurfaceHolder mHolder; Camera mCamera; Preview(Context context) { super(context);
// Install a SurfaceHolder.Callback so we get notified when
//the // underlying surface is created and destroyed.
mHolder = getHolder(); mHolder.addCallback(this);
mHolder.setType(SurfaceHolder.SURFACE_TYPE_PUSH_BUFFERS);
} public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// The Surface has been created, acquire the camera and tell
//it where // to draw. mCamera = Camera.open(); try {
mCamera.setPreviewDisplay(holder); } catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace();
} } public void surfaceDestroyed(SurfaceHolder holder) {
// Surface will be destroyed when we return, so stop the
//preview. // Because the CameraDevice object is not a shared resource,
//it's very // important to release it when the activity is paused.
mCamera.stopPreview(); mCamera = null; }
public void surfaceChanged(SurfaceHolder holder, int format, int
w, int h) { // Now that the size is known, set up the camera parameters
//and begin // the preview.
Camera.Parameters parameters = mCamera.getParameters();
parameters.setPreviewSize(800, 480);
mCamera.setParameters(parameters); mCamera.startPreview();
}
I am trying to create a very simple application (part of my learning program), vertically oriented, with an EditText at the top that receives a URL, and two buttons side by side just below that say "Get Image" or "Get Text" depending on the URL typed in (.html vs. .png, for example). The resulting elements may be later scavanged for use in a real app. I know that ScrollView can have only one child. Conceptually, I want the rest of the screen to be a vertically oriented content region for displaying either the text (TextView) of the URL and "Get Text" was clicked or the image (ImageView) in the case where it was an image and "Get Image" was clicked. I tried to do this (pseudocode) in main.xml:
<LinearLayout> <EditText /> --where to type the URL
<Button /> --click to treat URL as text
<Button /> --click to treat URL as image
<FrameLayout> --(used to be ScrollView) <LinearLayout>
<TextView /> --content region occupied by either text
<ImageView /> --or an image (but not both)
</LinearLayout> </FrameLayout> </LinearLayout>
In order not to violate the single-child requirement. However, this doesn't work and for now I'm not finding any sample out there that clues me in to how best to accomplish this. The last complaint I got while debugging was:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.widget.TextView

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm playing around with android, and I'm creating a simple twitter app to test what I've learned so far. But I've run into a problem that I don't understand. I created a thread to fetch the tweets, no problems there, but then added a ProgressDialog to show when that thread was running. Doing so caused a very unusual behavior. If the user rotates from Vertical orientation, to horizontal orientation, program behaves as expected, no problems, but if he then rotates back, the program crashes saying a window leaked.
The problem only happens on a horizontal to vertical layout switch. I know of the issues of if you try to rotate while the dialog box is running, but I've made sure that the dialog box has finished running and dismissed before rotating and it will still crash. Heres my code:
package com.onesmartpuppy.puppytweet;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import com.github.droidfu.widgets.WebImageView;
import winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter;
import winterwell.jtwitter.Twitter.Status;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.content.Context;...............
It means, that it has vertical headers (fixed horizontally), which can be scrolled vertically, and horizontal headers (fixed vertically), which can be scrolled horizontally. The contents should be scrollable both vertically and horizontally. To make it clear, I tried to 'draw' here...........
