Every time that I want to do a Layout, I'm getting a black layout preview then I can drop stuff on it, that's ok, but how can I change the size of that blank surface (xml). The question came because I set a folder layout-large and then when I add a new layout.xml to that folder it came with the same size, as a layout-normal.

How do I do this? I go to my mail.xml using eclipse as my ide and go to layout view and I now get a NullPointerException so I can't even drag stuff onto the layout anymore.
I'm attempting to add four controls to a layout; <label> <text> <seek> <radio> I want the seek widget to occupy all the available screen space between the edittext control and the radio control. However if I give it the value android:layout_width="wrap_content" only a small seek control is displayed and if I set the value to fill_parent it overwrites the radio control. I would have thought there would be a mechanism to occupy the free space between the text and radio controls dynamically.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a property to set for Android's LinearLayout that will enable it to properly wrap child controls? Meaning - I have changeable number of children and would like to layout them horizontally like:
Example: Control1, Control2, Control3, ...
I do that by setting:
ll.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
foreach (Child c in children) ll.addView(c);
However, if I have large number of children, last one gets cuts off, instead of going to next line.
I have the following layout defined: code...
now i want to get the height of the RelativeLayout (i want to specify the height of its children programatically) code...

I have the following linear layout. What I don't understand is if I set the background to another image, the padding information are reset. Is there a way to prevent this?
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/aPanel"
android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/bkground"
android:paddingLeft="15dp" android:paddingRight="15dp">
<!-- some children here -->
</LinearLayout>
I see the position of the children get shifted when I change the backround drawable of the linearlayout 'aPanel'.
I am trying to make a widget to show on the home screen(s). My problem is lets say I set my icon to 30x30 when I load the widget on the screen the Icon is the correct size but the layout itself takes up a lot more space than what is actually needed. This means that I can't really place my widget next to other icons on the screen. Its like the bounding box is 3 times bigger than the content that fills it.
Here is my XML
[CODE]
I have tried wrap_content and other width/height settings but nothing seems to reduce the "Box" around my widget content. I clicked on my ATK widget and started to drag it around on my HTC Aria and it shows the bounding box around the widget and that one is the same size of the content inside same with all the other widgets on my screens.
I want to place three button on the bottom of screen. I place these button in a linear layout and sets its gravity bottom. Currently these button wrap according to their labels so have different widths. But I want these button equi size. Means all three button should have same width (without using fixed widths).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to develop an app for which I want multiple screen support. I have read the Android article on Best practices for Multiple Screen Support. As per the article we have to follow 3 important things:
1. Mention support for different screen sizes (large, medium and small) and any density in AndroidManifest.xml.
2. Place images of 3 dpi's (120, 160, 240) in 3 folders res/ldpi, res/ mdpi and res/hdpi.
3. In layout's the dimension should be mentioned in "dip" units. Then Android will take care of the scaling on its own.
I have implemented all these points in my project. The images are picked up correctly from the appropriate folders. But the arrangements of the controls in not same. e.g. I ran the app on three emulators 1. Resolution 240*320 dpi 120. 2. Resolution 240*320 dpi 160. 3. Resolution 240*320 dpi 240. (All the emulator have same resolution but different density). The problem is the position of the controls is not same on all the three emulator. As per my understanding if the android:layout_marginLeft and android:layout_marginTop are mentioned in "dip" then this problem should not occur. As the density of the emulator increases the controls get placed more towards the right. Is it necessary that I provide layouts for all combinations of dimensions and density i.e. in layout-small, layout-large, layout- medium, layout-long,layout-notlong?
Currently I am working on an Android application that is dynamically creating controls. Everytime a user would click a button a new EditText appears below the button and the user can interact with the EditText. However if the screen orientation changes, the EditText's that the user created also disappears.
Code sample of user creating a EditText: (located in a onClick(), p is basic layoutParamas, and layout is a LinearLayout located undearneath the button).........
I have a layout which specifies sizes of widgets in relative dimension, for example:
CODE:..............
Immediately after onCreate, I want to know how much is the height of the ImageView. How to do that?
If I call getHeight() in onCreate, I get 0.
I have also tried imageView.postDelayed, it works on 2.1 emulator but fails on 1.5 emulator (I got 0, too).
Finally, I tried to create a Handler, and then I call handler.postDelayed with 10 ms delay. It works in both 2.1 and 1.5 emulator, but failed when I start the program in eclipse debugger (So, I conclude that using the delay doesn't guarantee that the getting of the height happens after the imageview is layout-ted.)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a preference screen in in xml for my Android application. My issue is that some of the titles of the preferences are too long and will not wrap the page. Consider my example:
<CheckBoxPreference
android:title="Language Detection (BETA)"
android:defaultValue="false"
android:summary="Automatically decide which language to use"
android:textSize="15px"
android:lines="4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
Maybe I'm missing something but I have tried using number of other properties with no positive results. I have tried android:singleLine, android:lines, etc., and none of these seem to effect the title of the preference. Also is there a way to scale down the size of a CheckBox title?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs the view aware of the orientation change in order to return updated size after a change in orientation? I'm handling the orientation myself (android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"). Does it means that I have to take into account the orientation state when querying for view.getHeight()? The view returns the same value as before the orientation change. It this the normal behavior or I should "notify" somehow the view to "refresh" its size.
