AbsoluteLayout has become obsolete, I need to convert it to FrameLayout.My problem is in AbsoluteLayout. LayoutParams, I can specify (x,y) in the constructor, which specify the location of my view during layout.How can I achieve using FrameLayout + FrameLayout.LayoutParams?

I understand the problems with assigning a fixed position to UI components, but I would like to use AbsoluteLayout in a way such that the position of the components are chosen dynamically, calculated based on the screen size.Here is why I am thinking this may be easiest:I want to display a nXm grid of imageViews on the screen (n,m chosen by the user) with 0 padding betweeen the image Views.With absoluteLayout, I could easily choose the size of the imageViews and in a way that maximizes the amount of the screen that is used.The reason that using relativeLayout or LineraLayouts may not work for this is because when a user touches an image in this grid, I would like it to "pulse" (quickly scale larger than back to its normal size).If I scale an imageView using realtive or linear layout,it would resize the adjacent imageViews (since the padding is 0), which I don't want.
I would prefer permitting temporary overlapping of the imageViews.This is currently the approach I have taken, except instead of changing the position of imageViews, I am just drawing bitmaps to the canvas at the locations I calculated.I can't use the animation framework, however, on bitmaps that I draw to a canvas.Is this an acceptable use for AbsoluteLayout, or is there a better way to achieve what I want to do here?
I have two SurfaceViews in one FrameLayout. So they are stacked upon another. What I want to achieve is to use the lower SurfaceView as kind of background that is changing heavily, and the upper SurfaceView as annotation overlay. So the upper SurfaceView has a (small) number of quickly changing elements that I will draw. Somehow, I can always only see one of the SurfaceViews, depending on which one is top. I thought that SurfaceViews are always transparent, but it seems I am missing something here.Any thoughts on why I can't overlay two SurfaceViews?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just realised that AbsoluteLayout has been deprecated in the latest sdk, however I have designed my apps based on AbsoluteLayout and it is very difficult for me to remove them and change it to a different layout. Can someone help me as to how I should proceed? Absolute layout was really helpful in positioning the elements to be accurate. One could always had different layout definitions for different screen sizes, and based on the current width and height the required layout can be set. Removing of AbsoluteLayout is creating a lot of frustration to me as I have already designed most of the things using it. Somebody please help me out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI see posts saying that FrameLayout is the alternative, and that I should use margins to position things (this strikes me as wildly counter intuitive, but ok... if it works, I'll take it). However, I can't get it to work, so, I'm looking for assistance. I'm aware of the fact that this may mean different things on different devices. I'm ok with that. I simply need a way to, programatically, and at run time, place an item at a SPECIFIC location. I don't want to rely on gravity (or the laws of thermodynamics). I just want to specify a location and have the element appear there :)

When I run this in 2 AVDs with HVGA and WVGA80 I get the frame floating at different heights. I'd like to say something like paddingTop=80%, but that doesn't work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to add a view inside a FrameLayout programmatically and to place it in a specific point within the layout with a specific width and height. Does FrameLayout support this? If not, should I use an intermediate ViewGroup to achieve this? My initial idea was to add an AbsoluteLayout to the FrameLayout and place the view inside the AbsoluteLayout. Unfortunately I just found out that AbsoluteLayout is deprecated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got a game, a custom View class draws my gameboard. I'm thinking of drawing some elements on a separate layer above the gameboard. I could do this in the View's canvas code, but since they won't change frequently, was thinking of introducing a frame layout to display this top layer.I'm not sure which route to take, the only reason I wouldn't do the FrameLayout is because I'm not sure if it has an impact on battery life. Everytime onDraw() is called, the system probably has to do an alpha composition of the two layers. Is that more battery consuming than drawing the elements from that layer myself in my canvas on every frame? Hard to answer since I'm not sure how complex the drawing will be yet, any general opinions?

I noticed that AbsoluteLayout is deprecated in the latest SDK. AbsoluteLayout is an important piece to implementing drag and drop. If it disappears in a later release, what will be the solution to implement drag and drop?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe documentation at http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/widget/AbsoluteLayout.html says:
onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) //Called from layout when this view should assign a size and position to each of its children. So I overrode it like this:
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
Log.d("test", "In MainLayout.onLayout");
int childCount = getChildCount();
for (int childIndex = 0; childIndex < childCount; childIndex++) {
getChildAt(childIndex).setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(100, 100, 100, 100));
}
super.onLayout(changed, l, t, r, b);
}
I am declaring the child elements (buttons) in the XML for the layout. This correctly sets the position of the buttons but not the size. The size is being taken from what is defined in the XML (it's a required attribute).
There are the following layout options to create interfaces for android.
AbsoluteLayout
FrameLayout
LinearLayout
TableLayout
RelativeLayout (and some more)
Which of the following is most suitable for designing simple games? Guessing that the absoluteLayout is easiest, but will it be problems with different screen sizes? What do you recommend?
