I have a Gallery with a set of images that was downloaded at run time.I followed the example here:http://www.anddev.org/a_androidwidgetgallery_-_example-t332.html but instead of using i.setImageResource(this.myImageIds[position]);I used i.setImageBitmap(bitmaps.get(position));This doesn't fill the entire width of the screen, only as much as the width specified here:i.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(150, 150)); When I increase this number, the item scales with it instead of showing more images per the example. I've even tried to scale the images before adding them to the set. Not sure what I'm missing, or where other examples of this might be. Any help would be great.
View 1 Replies View RelatedA button on our screen causes an activity to be shown that has a "dialog" theme. We are having an issue were if you click the button quickly twice in a row, the dialog activity is opened twice.
Typically I would expect that when a new activity is started, the underlying activity is immediately stopped, and thus accepts no further input.
However, since the dialog themed activity does not take over the whole screen, I think the underlying activity is only paused, not stopped and thus the buttons are still accessible.
Which brings me to my question... Is there a way to force the dialog themed activity into a modal state where the user can't click the buttons on the activity below?
I could probably manually accomplish this by disabling everything in onPause, and reenabling it in onResume, but this seems like a lot of work!
I want to download an image (of unknown size, but which is always roughly square) and display it so that it fills the screen horizontally, and stretches vertically to maintain the aspect ratio of the image, on any screen size. Here is my (non-working) code. It stretches the image horizontally, but not vertically, so it is squashed. Code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed that it is not possible to specify a percentage value for maxWidth.
What is the best way around this?
For example, in the layout xml, is it possible to get a handle on the screen width and apply some kind of arithmetic to it (e.g. maxWidth="(60 * @screenWidth) / 100px")
Also would this approach mean the maxWidth would be automatically recalculated on orientation changes?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there any style I can set which will make a set of buttons the same width (without specifying an explicit size in pixels)? For example:<Layout> <Button> <EditText> <Button> </Layout>..is there a way to make the two buttons the same width, even though they may have different text? Right now I'm measuring the larger one via a measure call and setting the other one to that explicit width,
View 8 Replies View RelatedIve read the docu for home screen widgets but i couldn't find a possiblity to set the widgets width to fill_parent, instead i must use dip. The widget should fill the screen width regardless of the screen orientation. Somebody have a idea?
It is posssible to set a animation to a home screen widget? Something like,if special button of the widget is clicked, the widget shows a view that breaks out of the widgets borders which are defined in the home screen widget meta-data file?
I do not know the difference between these two attributes and for the height also. Take a TextView for example, what would happen if I set its layout_width to wrap_content and set its width to 50 dip?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI think the answer to this question is probably so simple, but I'm struggling....
I have a TableLayout with multiple columns. I want the last column to be of a fixed width, but I want to define that width to just be able to hold the widest possible string from my program. i.e. it is always wide enough to contain "THIS STRING" without wrapping, or wasting any space.
I would like to do this as I have these TableLayouts within a ListView, so it looks very poor when the last column is of variable widths.
I have tried obtaining the string width, even going so far as to put it into a TextView, call getTextSize() then setWidth() on all appropriate TextViews. The problem I hit there is that gettextSize() returns pixels, but setWidth uses ScaledPixels.
I'm sure there is a really simple solution. Can anyone help?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to change width of a SeekBar? Below is a TableRow with two items in it, a Button and a SeekBar. How can the SeekBar be made to extend its right side to fill in the remaining width of the TableRow? Currently I have only been able to control the SeekBar width by setting it's android:layout_width attribute. Is there a way to have the LayoutManager do this automatically or can it be done programmatically? It is especially noticeable when the Orientation is changed from vertical to horizontal and the SeekBar remain stuck way over there on the left with available real estate on its right.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn my app I am displaying a table where the individual cells are editable text fields (i.e. EditText objects). I am currently struggling calculating appropriate widths for these.
If I set the width to be as many "Ems" as the displayed text has characters, my fields are much to wide by about a factor of 2 and the table looks ugly and wastes lots of precious screen space. Setting the width in "Ems" is essentially like assuming the worst case, i.e. the width of a string under the assumption that it contains only the broadest characters in a font, usually 'M' (hence the name of the method), 'm', 'W', or '_'). But on average strings contain narrower characters and so most of these fields are half empty and much too wide for their actual content. I am thus desperately seeking a way to calculate a better fitting width, not that worst case width.
The "normal" way to do this in Java (in AWT or Swing at least) is to asks a widget's current Font (actually a Font's FontMetrics), to calculate and return the width that will be necessary to display a given string in pixels. But how does one obtain a TextView's Font? I haven't found any method to obtain a (Text)View's font and/or calculate a more appropriate width given the actual content of a cell's text string. How does one do that in Android?
