Android :: How To Get TableLayout To Fill Parent In Landscape Mode
Dec 27, 2009
I am using a TableLayout in my application. It contains four TableRows each containing four ImageViews. The behavior I want is to scale the layout to fit the shortest dimension. It works fine in portrait mode but fails miserably in landscape mode.
From the documentation it looks like this is because the TableRow layout_height is always set to WRAP_CONTENT. While I can set the dimensions of the individual Views, the TableLayout won't render at all if I set the View layout_height to FILL_PARENT.
I feel like there is something simple I am missing. Is there a way to get the TableLayout with TableRows to scale to fit the height in landscape mode?

Does anyone know how to make a dialog fill the screen width in landscape mode? Setting the layout's width to fill_parent doesn't do it. It always comes up portrait width, or something suspiciously similar.

I have a simple ExpandalbeList. For the group header view, I'm using a simple TextView, I am setting the background of the text to a drawable. I have the textview parameters set to FILL_PARENT, but the background of the TextView only covers the width of the text. I realize that I can put this all inside of a Linear Layout, but that just seems like a waste. isn't there a way to make the bounds of the text view stretch to the edge of the listview?

I'm battling with Android's retarded layout system. I'm trying to get a table to fill the screen (simple right?) but it's ridiculously hard.
I got it to work somehow in XML like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1">
<Button android:text="A" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button android:text="B" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
<TableRow android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1">
<Button android:text="C" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<Button android:text="D" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</TableRow>
However I can not get it to work in Java. I've tried a million combinations of the LayoutParams, but nothing ever works. This is the best result I have which only fills the width of the screen, not the height:
table = new TableLayout(this);
// Java. You suck.
TableLayout.LayoutParams lp = new TableLayout.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
table.setLayoutParams(lp); // This line has no effect! WHYYYY?!
table.setStretchAllColumns(true);
for (int r = 0; r < 2; ++r)
{
TableRow row = new TableRow(this);
for (int c = 0; c < 2; ++c)
{
Button btn = new Button(this);
btn.setText("A");
row.addView(btn);
}
table.addView(row);}

Any idea why this doesn't create an activity that looks like a popup instead of an activity that completely fills the screen?
CODE:.............
I assumed that I only needed to set the layout height and layout width to something other than "fill_parent", but it still shows up as a black screen that completely fills the screen.
Ultimately, I simply want to create a popup, but I do not want to use an AlertDialog. Is this possible?

What is the resolution for different density? Does it really matter or always keep 72 as a resolution?
When placing multiple assets do i need to use fill parent always or i can manually make a measurements for different layout?

I am trying to get those nicely looking android list dividers above and below a TextView. This is how far I am. code...
The ImageView makes what I want - a scaled to fill the parent separator, but this is somewhat not an ideal solution. The android:drawable* in the TextView do not scale to fill the parent - any ideas how to achieve this?

there are those of us, who due to whatever reason (helmet cams, preference for posture, etc) want to record videos in portrait mode.
What happens (on my sgs2) is that the video records just fine in whatever resolution I pick... but it records it 90 degrees rotated to the right.
The solution that is usually offered is that "you can rotate it after!" yes... but then you have to CROP part of the image and lower the resolution. 1920 x 1080 recordings end up having to be cropped so that half of the view is cut out , or even more if you are maintaining a real aspect ratio.
The questions about "why not just hold it sideways", are just as pointless as the statement by steve jobs telling iphone4 users that they were holding their phones wrong.
is this something that can be remedied ? or has google decided that people should only record videos when their phones are in landscape mode?
i understand that we cant see landscape resolution in portrait mode; but can't we just have a viewport into the camera, but record in properly oriented landscape mode? so that playback on a computer will show the full resolution, even though we will only see part of it on the phone..

I have two activities: a MainListActivity, and a DetailViewActivity. DetailViewActivity is set with android:launchMode="singleTop".
When clicking an item in the "main list" activity, it launches the "detail view" activity via:
startActivityForResult(detailIntent, REQUEST_CODE_DETAIL);
If I then call setResult(RESULT_OK, resultData); and finish(); from within the Detail activity, that resultData is received by the "main list" activity's onActivityResult(..) method correctly.
However, if I implement a "see previous"/"see next" type of navigation within the Detail activity, and implement it using singleTop, that result no longer gets sent back to the initial activity:
Intent nextItemIntent = this.createIntent(nextId);
nextItemIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_FORWARD_RESULT);
startActivity(nextItemIntent);
// at this point, my DetailActivity's onNewIntent() method is called, and the new data is loaded properly
But from here, when I call setResult(..) and finish(), my MainList activity never receives the new/updated result. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I have a two column TableLayout as the only child of a scroll view. The first column contains TextViews ('labels') and the second column contains EditText/Spinner/DateWidget etc ('values').
Even though I have have specified android:layout_width="fill_parent" for TableLayout, TableRow & all widgets (in 'values' column).
The screen looks perfect when the activity is created. However, when one types a really long value in the EditText, the 'values' column goes beyond the visible screen area.

When we try to implement orientation in AP layer, we can set "android:screenOrientation" parameter in AndroidManifest.xml file or call "setRequestOrientation()" method of Activity class. But if I want to porting android in new HW device, how can I do? Do I need to modify the graphic driver, or just add configuration in program. (Actually I do some experiments but my AP cannot rotate) Besides, can every experts tell me when I set the "android:screenOrientation" parameter, which process will read this configuration, pass to where and which process will do the rotation?

I wanted a way to find out whether a softkeyboard is visible at any given time.
If I set the windowSoftInputMode property to adjustResize, I receive resize events in the portrait mode (onSizeChanged gets called). I use these events to find out whether the softkeyboard is visible or not. But I get no resize events in the landscape mode (Android SDK 2.0). Do I need to set some property explicitly to get these events in the landscape mode.
Also when the application switches between landscape and portrait, the application gets resize events. So to find out whether the keyboard is actually visible, I would need to differentiate between the 2 resize events.
So in short, is there a cleaner way (other than resize events) to find out whether the soft keyboard is visible? And if resize is the only way, how can I turn it on for landscape mode?

My application crashes when I switch the Android Emulator to landscape mode. But when I start the application, everything works fine, until I switch to portrait mode again.
The error only occurs when I switch from one mode to another. When I debug my app while switching to the other mode everything works fine until my program counter jumps out of the onCreate() function.
this is an error message i picked out: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo {com.prog.drink/com.prog.drink.App}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong state class -- expecting View State
Any idea what I could have done wrong in my app?

This is probably a pretty easy to answer question, but I can't find the solution myself after a couple hours of searching the documentation and Google.I set the orientation of my Android app to landscape in the AndroidManifest.xml file: android:screenOrientation="landscape"
However, when I run the app in the simulator, it appears sideways and in portrait mode. How can I switch the emulator to landscape mode on a mac? It's running the 1.6 SDK.

My app has a tabhost with four tabs, and now I'm trying to make nice layouts for landscape mode. In order to make use of additional horizontal space I want to put TabWidget at the right side of the screen, and of cource all tabs must be one under another (like in a column).
But when switching to landscape mode all tabs get aligned in a row, it looks quite ugly. How to fix that?
Screenshot is here: http://imgur.com/gPS1R.png
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TabHost xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/tabhost"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"

<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
<include layout="@layout/filter_wizard"/>

android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"

I am trying out the (latest) Android SDK, and noticed some strange behavior.I've written a skeletal SurfaceView app: Activity, SurfaceView and a rendering thread. It doesn't actually do any painting, and only writes out the framerate to logcat once a second. When it runs in portrait mode, I get around 60 fps. However, when I flip it to landscape the framerate drops to about 30 fps.
I have also tested it on the LunarLender sample, and got similiar results. All of the testing are done on the emulator, since I don't have a physical device.What's it all about? I can't seem to find any mentioning to this on Google, have anyone else experienced that? Is it just an emulator quirk or does it apply to physical hardware too?

Since i have an android device and tried some roms for this device (HTC One S)and its dissapointing to see that landscape mode is so lacking in the space that could have been used in messaging apps.
Its quite annoying (for me atleast) to have to withdraw my keyboard whilst typing something because the one i am texting with has sent something new.
I understand that this is not a place for requests, so my question is, is there any way to make messaging look like this (this image is not real)
and not like this..
I am not looking for a specific rom that allows this, im just looking for anything that makes this possible on any rom.

I have written a small example which displays the photos from the server. Its working fine when the device is in one of the mode (landscape of potrait). But if I switch to landscape to potrait or potrait to landscape while downloading the photos from the server, I am getting NullPointerException, showing with androidRunTimeException.
I am using LinearLayout -> ImageView
I am using threads to download the images.
