Android :: How To Center Buttons On Screen Horizontally / Vertically?
Apr 10, 2010
I've been racking my brain (android newbie here, so not hard to do) for awhile trying to figure out how to accomplish this: Desired Layout using a Relative Layout or something other than AbsoluteLayout which is what this was created with. I'm coming from a Windows programming background where the device adjusts the 'absolute' positioning for you and GUI layout was a non-issue.The first layout works great in the emulator, but doesn't format for my Nexus One or any other screen that differs from the emulator size. I expected this because it's absolutely positioned, but haven't found a solution that will format correctly for different screen sizes. My goal is to have the layout work for different screen sizes and in portrait / landscape. Here's the Code that I'm currently using: [main.xml]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AbsoluteLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
><Button
android:id="@+id/Button01"
android:layout_width="188px"
android:layout_height="100px"
android:text="A"
android:layout_y="50px" android:layout_x="65px" android:textSize="48sp"/>

I try to arrange two buttons (with images on them which work fine) next to each other and to center them horizontally. That's what I have so far:
<Linear Layout android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_below="@id/radioGroup"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center">
<Button
android:id="@+id/allow"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="@id/radioGroup"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/accept_btn"
android:text="Allow"/>
<Button
android:id="@+id/deny"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/allow"
android:layout_below="@id/radioGroup"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:drawableLeft="@drawable/block_btn"
android:text="Deny"/></LinearLayou?

How do you space ImageButtons?
With RelativeLayout, I can have them side by side but I want a gap between them.
How do I place the buttons in the center and at the bottom of the screen?

Is there a way to center an image horizontally based on another image? Could be from xml or coded.For example one button on top and another button below (i.e. android:layout_below="@+id/button1"), but centered horizontally based on the first one.

Im messing with imageviews and I am able to align a single imageview in the center horizontally with android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
Now my main problem is that I have X imageviews and when I align them all like that, and then use the android:layout_toRightOf="", they just start from the middle.

I have a Linear Layout, 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 Relative Layout, 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"?> <Linear Layout 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| center_vertical" /> </Linear Layout>

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.

My layout design is a TextView with long text and a ImageView to the right of the TextView. I want to center the ImageView in its parent vertically, so I used android:layout_centerVertical="true", but it turned out that the ImageView was aligned to the bottom of its parent. If I don't use layout_centerVertical property, the ImageView will be aligned to the top of its parent. How can I solve this problem? code...

I am trying to get one line with three buttons on it. One far left one in the center and one far right. Ideally I would like the center button to take up all the space between the two side ones. Right now the center(menu) button just overlaps the left side(prev) button.
Here is what I have now:

I 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.

I am not able to find out the perfect layout(viewgroup) to place four buttons as shown in the attached image. Basically, i want to place four buttons near the top/left/bottom/right edge of the screen. AbsoluteLayout helped, but it is deprecated (It is also better to avoid AbsoluteLayout as it is not very flexible for orientation changes)

I want to make a splash screen for my game. I need the image to fit the screen's width but I want the height to be larger than the screen's. Than, I will have an animation moving the image vertically, hiding the top part and showing the bottom one.
I have searched a lot and I am more puzzled now on how I should do this.
Firstly the only solution I found for the fitting part was a combination of java and xml. But the problem here is that the java class doesn't produce a bigger than the screen image, but a cropped image. So, I can't make the animation later on.
Should I do it only in java and don't use xml at all? Or is it possible to do this through xml only (which would be better I think)?

I just go my Sprint Hero on Sunday and it rocks! What's the must have Apps? Music? Sirius satellite radio? Photo�s? Also, my screen sometimes doesn't turn when I move the phone horizontally.

So last night I was riding in the car using my hero. All of a sudden 2 lines appeared across the screen horizontally about 1" up from bottom. Can't fix it. Tried a hard reset to factory and still there. Any suggestions? I am traveling in Chicago today so will find a sprint store for exchange. I have TEP. But at 2 days old should it just be swapped for a new one and not affect TEP?

Something like that.

I am developing Android Application using SDK 1.5 and testing application on HTC Hero, its firmware is Android 1.5.
Let me come to actual point: in application, i am having an imageview for displaying image (Image resolution is 320*480), now imageview is displaying image in full-screen perfectly, but when i am trying to test it on HTC EVO 4G (having resolution 480*800), image gets stretch.
So, what i like to do is want to display 320*480 resolution image in all screen-resolution mobile ? i means to say,if the mobile is of higher resolution(i.e. 480*800 , 480*854, or else) than the image should be displayed in "Center" portion of the screen.
So displaying image in Center in all screen (without stretching or cutting) resolution other than 320*480, what attributes i have to set ?
