Android :: In RelativeLayout : Prevent Objects From Piling Up On Eachother?

Aug 21, 2010

I'm starting to use RelativeLayout more and more but there are some things I keep running into.

Say I have a status textview that I want top and center. Then I have a bunch of other objects below it like images and a table layout.

I want the stuff below the status text view to respect the status textview's personal space and not draw themselves right on top of it.

But what I'm seeing is that in a relativelayout, everything piles up on eachother unless I use alignment such as android:layout_below and android:layout_above.

Is there an attribute that I can add to the status textview to make it so other objects don't want to draw right on top of it? Or do I have to keep using the alignment tags on everything and align things away from it?

Android :: Pass Objects Around Activities Using A HashMap Of WeakReferences To Objects?

Oct 26, 2010

The FAQ mentions a method of passing objects around activities. (It is not clear to me): "A HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects. You can also use a HashMap of WeakReferences to Objects with Long keys. When an activity wants to pass an object to another activity, it simply puts the object in the map and sends the key (which is a unique Long based on a counter or time stamp) to the recipient activity via intent extras. The recipient activity retrieves the object using this key.".................

Android :: How To Filter Objects To Display Onscreen Objects On Map?

Jun 15, 2010

I have an application that have a Google map on Google Android 1.5 since we have been working on the application for a long time, we are not in stage of upgrading to the newest framework, so we are using 1.5. Now, I have map locations that are dynamically generated and drawn on the map at run-time to visualize some streams, Up to this point the application is working fine, Now my problem is that I am trying to filter the objects ( addresses) to visualize only the on-screen ones. I do NOT want to visualize the addresses that are off-screen. The way I am trying to do this is to check the screen-coordinates of each object (address) before visualizing it, then it the coordinates (x,y) more than (0,0) and less than (320, 460). I should visualize it. I am trying to use this approach, but it is not working for some reasons, I have tried many posts but could not understand why, there must be something missing somewhere that I am not aware of.

Android :: Vertical Alignment In RelativeLayout

Jul 15, 2009

I know my original post (at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa..., I could not find a way to perform a reply, maybe it's too old) is not sexy, but I'm now facing that problem in many situations. Let me please rephrase what I attempt to do, and what my problem is.

I have a RelativeLayout made of three widgets (named 1, 2 and 3 on the illustrations below): one attached to its parent left border (labelled 1), one to its parent right border (labelled 2) and the third (labelled 3) inserted between the 2 previous ones (its left border is attached to the first widget right border, and its right border is attached to the second widget left border). The third widget (the middle/central one laballed "3") is far taller than the two others, and I would like the first and second items (1 and 2) to be vertically centered with the middle widget.

I have resorted to the "android:layout_centerVertical" attribute for both the first and second widget, but I do not get the expected result. See at the bottom the various layouts I'm mentionning. Could someone please help me, and tell me whether what I intend to do is feasible, and how? Thank you for your time.

Layout with no "android:layout_centerVertical" specified: ------- |1|3|2| --|3|-- |3| ---

Layout with "android:layout_centerVertical" set to "true":

--- |3| |3| |3| ------- |1| |2| --- ---

What I'd like: --- --|3|-- |1|3|2| --|3|-- ---

Android :: Dynamically Adding Content To RelativeLayout

item.setImageResource( R.drawable.tiles );
item.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams( LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT );
if( mIconIdCounter != 1 ){
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, 1 );
}
item.setLayoutParams( params );
item.setId( mIconIdCounter );
++m_IconIdCounter;.......................

Android :: Button In Arbitrary Position Over RelativeLayout

Apr 28, 2010

I'm trying to build an android application that features a graphical display drawn within a RelativeLayout. I want to place "+" and "-" buttons next to several of the parameters, which are drawn at various points on the canvas. The positions are free-form don't seem to conform to any of the standard XML layouts.I know how to create the buttons programmatically, but I don't know how to place them over the canvas where I need them to be. I'm assuming that this would be done in the view thread's doDraw() method, after all the graphics have been drawn, but how?

Android :: How To Set Layout Gravity Of RelativeLayout Programmatically?

Nov 9, 2010

I have ScrollView with RelativeLayout as a child of ScrollView. I am trying through JAVA code to set Layout_Gravity to CENTER so my RelativeLayout is centered (horizontally and vertically) in the middle of ScrollView (that covers whole screen).This works fine in XML and produces desired result, but when I try to do this programmatically, it seems there is no way to set Layout_Gravity of RelativeLayout. I tried using LayoutParams, but couldn't find anything there that would help me to center RelativeLayout in the middle. So, am I missing something or this simply can't be done?

Android :: RelativeLayout - Positioning View Under ViewGroup

Apr 23, 2010

I have the following structure defined in an xml layout file.

<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<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" />
</RelativeLayout>

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?

Android :: Vertically Align Items In RelativeLayout?

Jun 9, 2010

As i am facing limitation of layout depth in my application, i am replacing some LinearLayout with RelativeLayout. However i am stopped by a supposely very simple issue (but apparantly without clean solution regarding that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1499555/android-layout-centering-i..., nor in the ApiDemos sample where RelativeLayout are too simple):

How can i align vertically 3 items (in a simple way!) which are on a horizontal line with RelativeLayout without?

does not seem to have any effect at all.

Here is the xml; in this example i would like an icon at left (fixed width), a text label in the middle (fixed width) and an edit text on the right (remaining space). the problem is that the TextView seems to ignore the parameter android:layout_gravity="center_vertical", and seems to be top aligned with parent. code...
Of course i can use marginTop/Bottom and alignTop/Bottom on each single item but that's not very clean.

Android :: Background Image In RelativeLayout Has Artifacts

Jul 14, 2010

I created a background .png for my application in GIMP. It's resolution is 640x480, which from googling, seems to be the resolution for a default emulator. My problem is when I apply the background to the RelativeLayout with android:background=@drawable/bg and run it, there are lots of artifacts in the image. As if the emulator could not provide enough colors to display the .png correctly. This image is nothing to fancy, just simple lines and radial gradients.

Android :: RelativeLayout Fill_parent Unexpected Behavior In A ListView With Varying Row Heights

Apr 29, 2010

I'm currently working on a small update to a project and I'm having an issue with Relative_Layout and fill_parent in a list view. I'm trying to insert a divider between two sections in each row, much like the divider in the call log of the default dialer. I checked out the Android source code to see how they did it, but I encountered a problem when replicating their solution.

To start, here is my row item layout:

CODE:..........

The issue I'm facing is that each row has a thumbnail of varying height (ImageView01). If I set the RelativeLayout's layout_height property to fill_parent, the divider does not scale vertically to fill the row (it just remains a 1px dot). If I set layout_height to "?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight", the divider fills the row, but the thumbnails shrink. I've done some debugging in the getView() method of the adapter, and it seems that the divider's height is not being set properly once the row has it's proper height.

Here is a portion of the getView() method:

CODE:.........

The rest of the method simply sets the appropriate text and images for the row.

Also, I create the inflater object in the adapter's constructor with: inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);

Am I missing something essential? Or does fill_parent just not work with dynamic heights?

Android :: Make ScrollView With A RelativeLayout With Multiple Child Layouts Fill The Screen

Aug 20, 2010

I have a layout that has just a ScrollView visible. It has a relative layout as its child. This layout has several other layouts (mainly text views) as its children. When the text is not big enough, the scroll view does not expand itself to fit the whole screen. Instead, it shows a gap at the bottom where the background shows. I tried setting fillViewPort=true on the ScrollView, but that just made the first child layout (RL1) to fill the screen.

I am new to Android development. I want to know how you all manage objects. For eg we make object as A a = new A(); and then manage that object. But, here, we call A.class; My concern is that i don't want to call on Create(),nor do i want to push UI screen I just want to make 1 static object for 1 screen;and want to manage it throughout my application. that is, instead of calling A.class; can i call A a = new A(),and manage that object without pushing,and whenever i need i push that screen. Is there someway?
