Im using a LinearLayout to put two buttons horizontally side-by-side, but I want to each button to size itself to use 50% of the horizontal space. I thought layout_weight of "1" for each button would do the trick, but maybe my layout_width needs to be changed?

Is it possible to build a GridView object in XML with 3 columns and 4 rows of Image buttons? It doesn't seem to have similar containment relationship like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout viewgroups.
I want to do this entirely in an xml layout file. When I put ImageButton xml tags inside a GridView xml body, The layout panel in eclipse is throwing an exception: UnsupportedOperationException:addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView.
So I ordered now LG G2 32GB (950USD in Israel, I know its expensive but well... thats what it is and I wanted a device with large screen, powerfull multi tasking and something that I wont have to replace in 1 year but at least in 2 years, super power little computer for all my internet, emails, mult tasking, office things...), I could choose Z Ultra, S4, Optimus G Pro but took G2 as most people online voted for this one and I heard them plus I liked the way this device looks from all photos I watched and I liked it's longer life per each charge versus others (from reviews i was reading).
Now something I feel bothered with, I see on youtube that this soft menu buttons stays even in games, pretty much anywhere.Removing the on-screen menu buttons possibly also not the brightest idea, how I will navigate then? Any tweak would allow me to use Android in same way I use Iphone, by turn the "power" button that short click works as "home button" and remove the soft on screen menu.
UPDATE: I found this URL....
can i totally hide the soft buttons from screen so they NEVER appear and use only the LMT pie buttons?URL.....
I am programatically adding custom views to a vertical LinearLayout, and I would like there to be some space between the views. I have tried adding: setPadding(0, 1, 0, 1) to my CustomView constructor, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. It was pointed out that I should use margins. Since I am dynamically adding views, I need to set the margins from code (not in xml). I believe the way to do this is below, but it isn't working.
public class MyView extends View {
public MyView (Context context) { super(context);
MarginLayoutParams params = new MarginLayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT); params.setMargins(0, 10, 0, 10); setLayoutParams(params);
I also tried using MarginLayoutParams as a parameter while adding the views to the Linear layout (as below). This also did not work:
MarginLayoutParams params = new MarginLayoutParams(linearLayout.getLayoutParams());
linearLayout.setMargins(0, 10, 0, 10); linearLayout.addView(view, params);
I tried so many things to relocate buttons of a list. Relocate the current button is working but the older buttons not. To clarify the situation:
There are two Activities (Activity A and B). At Activity A I customize a button and pass it on Activity B via an intent. On Activity B I move the button somewhere on the screen. This will be done with other buttons. On Activity B I also want to show the old Buttons.code..
As above mentioned, I want to move the Buttons and set them somewhere on the screen (e.g. down right). But everytime I call Acitvity B again, all Buttons are located at top left. I thought it would be achieved with .

I want to make a layout similar to this one:
Four square buttons on the screen - each of those using half of the screen with/screen height (whichever is smaler). Independent of screen size/resolution.
I already tried to achieve this by using a LinearLayoutbut the buttons are ending up using the correct width, but still having the height of the background (not square any more).

It's looking like this:
How can i acchieve the Layout to look like the image at the top above?
I want there to be buttons at the bottom of the screen, but if the screen size is larger, more buttons would be added.
For example, at a small screen size, there might be 4-5 buttons at the bottom, but if you ran it on a tablet or something similar, there would be maybe 20 buttons.
It can't scroll either, it just has to dynamically fill the layout with buttons.
This specific layout is just annoying me. And can't seem to find a way to have a listView, with a row of buttons at the bottom so that the listview doesn't extend over top of the buttons, and so the buttons are always snapped to the bottom of the screen.
Here's what I want:

I'd like to add a transparent panel (relativelayout) with fill_parent in width and height.
I want to use this "glasspane" in order to block all buttons underneath. Unfortunately I cannot find the right setter / xml attribute for this.
These wont work:
.setEnabled(false); .setPressed(false); .setClickable(false); .setFocusable(false); .setSaveEnabled(false); .setSelected(false);
Maybe its better to understand if I tell you that I want to create my own dialog without extending the class Dialog.
A dialog also puts a transparent glasspane above all and absorbs all clicks underneath...

On my emulator this seems to work fine. The status bar disappears and the empty space is filled with the content view. However on my Nexus One this sometimes works and sometimes the empty space remains empty/black. I tried to counteract this, but my naive approach wasn't fruitful:

To place views on top of one another you can also use FrameLayout, positioning these frame layouts in their parent layout:

I was told not to use an absolute layout, and use a linear layout instead. However, I am now having an issue with placing the buttons over the picture. The linear layout does not allow me to position them correctly where they need to go. How do I properly position a button so that it is over a certain part of the image?

I have a simple problem which makes me feel like a stupid. I really need help on this.
I have a SurfaceView which I created with Java code not XML. I created a MediaPlayer which shows its content on that SurfaceView.
When I use, setContentView(mPreview); // where mPreview is a SurfaceView
The video is played on the screen.
I need to add two buttons on the screen. So I tried something like this:

This did not change anything. Still the video is displayed on full screen and no buttons appear. I am a java programmer both SE and ME. Things are done in this way on Java.
Does Android have a different approach?
I would like to use an <include /> in my XML file to add a layout below a MapView(or any other greedy layout). I have been trying for a few hours now, and no luck so far. I was hoping someone could give me a hand.
Here is what my XML looks like now:
CODE:...................
Optimally, the include could be any sort of other layout. The goal here is to have the Google map on the top, and then have the included layout below it. If I include the content in the layout, such as replacing the <include /> tag with a <TextView /> then that works correctly, so I am thinking I am mis-using the include. A trip to hierarchy viewer shows that the included layout has no height. I have tried putting the include first, and using a RelativeLayout to position the map above the included layout, but I could not get that to work correctly (the included layout took the entire screen space, even though I explicitly said layout_height='wrap_content'
I've got the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<WebView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/webview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
/>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button android:id="@+id/back"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="Back" />
<Button android:id="@+id/page_number"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="1 / 100" />
<Button android:id="@+id/next"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:text="Next" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Which results in the following. How do I make the buttons fit the screen and stop the WebView pushing them off?
I can write a widget with a Button or ImageButton and assign a StateDrawable as background or sourcein order to make an effect when you click it. Besides that I have problems with the side of each button, my main problem is this: how do I change the StateDrawable if I want to change the image of the button from the AppWidgetProvider but still want to preserve the click effect like a StateDrawable. The power control widget in Android does things like that.

I am trying to build a layout dynamically which display some text and image for the most part, but has a series of buttons placed next to each other in the bottom. I have a linear layout that carries the text, another linear layout that carries the image. And yet another linear layout that carries the buttons that get created in a for loop. I have a main layout aligned vertical that adds the text, image and buttons layout, in that order. To finally generate something like this: Text Image Button1 Button2 Button3. The problem is the number of buttons get decided at runtime, so if there are more than 4 buttons, the 5th button gets displayed really tiny. Also, when I tilt the phone, I get only the text and image showing, but no buttons because the image covers the entire screen. Layout thing seems to be pretty complicated to me, any help is appreciated!
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy application has some buttons in the bottom part of activity layout, almost the same like iphone has on ipod app for example. I would like to create my layout so that it will self adjust on different screen sizes.
For example if the content in my layout has height = 400dip and the menu bar in the bottom has height = 100 dip, on every screen size (240*320, 320*480 etc.) i would like the menu bar to stay at the bottom so :
- on screen size 240*320 -> 100dip - for menubar -> 220dip - for content => it remains 180 dip to show, so this content area should be in some kind of a scrollview so that i can view 400dip in only 220dip.
I have tested different possibilities, with relativelayout so that the menu bar could stay on bottom, but i could not put the scroll view on top so that the scroll appears only on small screen sizes.
This is so sick, how do you build your layouts for different screen sizes ?
I would like to have a layout with 5 times 5 buttons. Each of them should have the same width and height (they should be square). And I want the whole matrix to use the screen width (or height, depending on rotation).
I currently do it "by hand" in the Java code:

This can be improved by obtaining screen width first and then dividing by 5 to get rid of this literal 60. But I'm wondering how I can do this in the res/layout XML file? How can I specify for the height to be the same as the width? (I can set the width to match_parent.)
