Can you please tell me how can I setHeight for a ViewGroup? I see there is a layout(l,t,r,b);
But that is different form setHeight(), since I don't know where should be the top/bottom of the viewGroup. I need to set the height of the ViewGroup and return that to ListAdapter.

Can anybody please confirm, that button.setHeight and button.setWidth is not changing the height and width of buttons at the run time ? I am using android 1.5

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am able to get a GLSurfaceView to have a transparent background with:
CODE:............
when I set the Activity's window background to transparent and the GLSurfaceView is the contentView of the Activity.
But, let's say my GLSurfaceview is parented by a ViewGroup and I want GLSurfaceView bg to be transparent to see the Viewgroup's background - I am not able to do so with the code above. Is this a limitation or am I missing something?
How can one use a GLSurfaceView similar to a ViewGroup, in the sense of adding Views(CustomViews) over it? Is there any means to make the GLSurfaceView be the canvas on which the view draws its contents?

I have the following structure defined in an xml layout file.
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/mainLayout"

<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/frame" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ></FrameLayout>
<Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_below="@id/frame" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

The FrameLayout is positioned correctly in the center of its parent. But the Button isn't getting positioned under it. Instead it's displaying in the top left corner. Am I doing something incorrectly or is this a bug with RelativeLayout?

TagLayout is a class that extends ViewGroup, and basically holds a bunch of buttons with text (a custom object that act as tags, but that's neither here or there).
The problem is that when there are too many buttons, the view no longer scrolls. I can confirm that I am adding tags but I can't see anything.
If I wrap the above within a ScrollView, the layout never renders. I tried adding the attributes android:isScrollContainer and android:scrollbars, but that doesn't change anything. Is there something I'm missing here?
I should also add that TagLayout is overriding the onMeasure() event. I guess I need to implement a scrolling mechanism there...?
I have a custom ViewGroup that I wrote, and have been able to use it to lay out child elements in code just fine. However, now I'd like to be able to use it for layout in XML. I would also like to be able to add some custom attributes to the XML file to better control my layout. How do I set up, both in XML and in code, a set of custom attributes? Bonus if it can be used with the built in designer in Eclipse.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have small ViewGroup somewhere in the middle of the screen. this ViewGroup contains some Views that i'd like to animate.

In my custom ViewGroup, I am returning false after handling the MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN event.
According to the javadoc: For as long as you return false from this function, each following event (up to and including the final up) will be delivered first here and then to the target's onTouchEvent().
However, I notice that all subsequent events ( MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE and MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) are only delivered to my #onTouchEvent method. In #onTouchEvent , I always return true.
What could possibly be my bug? I am running on Android 1.5r2 SDK.
I have a few views and animations and I need to figure out a way to package them so I can use them throughout my app. I thought I should be able to use ViewGroup, however, things are getting a bit complicated as my animations need to repeat and to achieve that I have applied the technique with an AnimationListener posting to a Runnable when the animation stops so it plays again in a loop. Also they all have different startOffset values, and I'm not sure how a ViewGroup can handle that as well. What is the best practice for hadnling multiple views and animations?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI like to have a ViewGroup (like LinearLayout) that has rounded angles. The angle can cover content of the ViewGroup.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to have a ViewGroup with another View in it. The user should be able to move the other View around the ViewGroup, and fling it away. However, the inner View shouldnt only move, it should also scale and so on (so we dont restrain ourselves to just movements). I don't really know the best way to implement it.
First I though about using a ViewGroup pretty much as it is (i.e. take advantage of the already-written methods). Then I could do the flinging with an Animation. However, when I move the View around with my finger, wouldnt I have to do a requestLayout, since the View changes size when I move it? Or could I just set a transform?
The other alternative would be to override the draw-method and do most of the work myself. For instance, when the user moves his/her finger, I could get a cache of the View and just paint it on the Canvas (with some transform). However, how would I do the flinging then, without an Animation? I could use a Scroller/VelocityTracker, but What would "drive" the repaints? Which is the best way to do this? Also, I won't have just one View, but a couple of them, so I'd like the solution to be effective.

Since the root element is a LinearLayout, which extends ViewGroup, why does main.xml get turned into a View instead of a ViewGroup? For example, in my main Activity class, I try to get the number of subviews that the LinearLayout contains like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.layout.main);
Log.v("myTag", "num children: " + vg.getChildCount());
but it crashes when i call vg.getChildCount(). What is the right way of doing it?

Has anyone tried to write his own implementation of ViewGroup with some TextViews in it? I have a problem, that TextViews in such an implementation don't respect gravity attribute (TextView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);) and text is positioned in the top left corner.
If enyone is interested, I just overwrote method onMeasure() (for all my TextViews) and changed call from super.onMeasure() to setMeasuredDimension(int, int) and gravity started to work normally.
Basically, in my custom layout I use the following class to display text:

My app's underlying view has bitmaps, lines, etc drawn on a canvas. I want to display images (icons) on top of this which will respond to Touch events. The number and positioning of such images will be variable depending on data in an SQLite database.
Am I correct in thinking that the way to achieve this is to have a ViewGroup to which I add first the basic view then for each icon an ImageButton object with an OnTouch listener and positioning defined by setting the margins in a RelativeLayout.LayoutParams object?
My code for each button reads as follows: This seems to work when the screen is initially drawn, and when the screen is subsequently redrawn (with new data) new buttons are added; however, the previous buttons are not removed.
I've tried calling Global.ThisApp.MyLayout.removeView with each in turn button as a parameter but Eclipse objects that a MyButton object cannot be a parameter for removeView.
How can I remove the existing buttons each time the underlying view is invalidated?
I have a ListView with two types of custom views. It inflates "icon_row" view if a drawable exists or a "text_row" if not. I came up w/ custom views for icon_row & text_row & include them in their XML like so :
Both of icon_row, text_row have a root LinearLayout that seem to be redundant. The row layouts can be directly attached ListView. This may be a case for "merge".
To use merge, I need a ViewGroup in inflate & that ViewGroup should be my ListView.
My question is how to obtain a reference to the ListView w/o making the adapter as an inner class to the main activity.
I've extended ViewGroup to achieve something like a FlowLayout.I put my custom ViewGroup into a ScrollView, dynamically add a bunch of content and it doesn't scroll.The content that flows off the screen is not viewable.What am I missing, how can I allow my ViewGroup to be compatible with ScrollView?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a custom ViewGroup. The idea is to be able to place controls at absolute positions and then have the ViewGroup scale those controls based on the difference in the screen dimensions with respect to the original design dimensions. I am using the code below. In response to the 'onMeasure' message, I am storing the width and height of the view. Then on the 'onLayout' message I am computing new dimensions for the child controls and adjusting their sizes proportionally. This all works to some degree. However for certain controls (e.g. button controls), the control resizes, but the text inside does not remain centered within the control. I am thinking that there is some other call I need to make to update the child controls after I change their size.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using Android SDK 1.5. I am developing an activity with multiple content views. It will call setContentView() with different viewgroup instance for different functionality. It contains a text input dialog popped up by an option menu item. I didn't specify anything for IME in mainfest.xml & EditText attributes. I found at first, the soft keyboard for the text input dialog will overlap on the activity content view. But after several content view switch (by calling setContentView() with different ViewGroup instance), the soft keyboard will resize the activity content view. Why this inconsistent behavior happens?
