Android :: Layout Supporting "word Wrap" For Views?
Feb 13, 2010
I found this question asked over a year ago but no solution was found:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa.
Essentially, I want to use a Linear Layout with horizontal orientation, but when the child views' total width is greater than the width of the screen, to wrap to the next line/row. In particular, I'm using a Radio Group (with radio buttons determined at runtime) where it would be much better to do this wrapping rather than use vertical orientation. Is there a layout that supports this?

I have been trying to get my EditText box to word wrap, but can't seem to do it.I have deal with much more complicated issues while developing Android applications, and this seems like it should be a straight-forward process.However, the issue remains, and I have a large text box that is only allowing me to enter text on one line, continuing straight across, scrolling horizontally as I enter text.

Has the browser on the Droid X been updated to word-wrap with the Froyo update as it does on the Incredible and Fascinate? How about the Dolphin HD browser?

I've got a horizontal Linear Layout that contains a variable number of child Linear Layouts. Right now, the children will just run off the screen if there are too many of them. How would I make the parent layout wrap the children on multiple lines? If this is not possible, should I be using a different layout as the parent?

How do I make multiline EditText within a Relative Layout wrap the lines of text that were entered? I want the user to enter one line of text without allowing line breaks, but show it broken up by words into multiple lines inside a rather smallish, square EditText window.

I'm using data to build elements of a ViewGroup. The ViewGroup are LinearLayouts, except the leaves, which are TextViews. Because Data draws the hierarchy, I inflate the LinearLayouts and TextViews from individual XML files programatically on the fly.
My Problem:
When I create a LinearLayout with the attribute wrap_content, then inflate a TextView or other LinearLayout into it, I can't get the parents (or enough of them, anyway) to redraw, respecting the new view. These LinearLayouts always seem to come out at 0 size, because when they are first created (before their children are inflated), they wrap around nothing. I've tried calling some stock methods of ViewGroup but nothing seems to work.

My application will have two layouts, one for large screens and one for normal. For testing I'm working with one phone (800x480 240dpi) and one tablet (1024x600 240dpi) but both are detected as large screen hdpi and long aspect ratio, so I'm not able to assign different layouts.
The only approach I think that can work is to create layout-large and layout-normal, get the resolution and programmatically set the layout folder. Is that possible?

Is there a way to get all the children views of a layout, from the Java code so that I can loop through them and set an attribute? Specifically, I'd like to set the "layout_width" based on the screen size. Since this "layout_width" would be the same for all the views, I'd prefer to loop through instead of calling each individual View separately by their id. The following is my main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/myRow1" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1"> <TextView android:text="1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="2" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="3" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="4" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="5" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
<TextView android:text="6" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="50dip" android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout> </LinearLayout>

I have a number of child views, each child is a TableRow and I need to be able to change the order of the TableRows, such that I can swap the rows into any order. I know there is a method called removeAllViews() but I don't really want to remove and re-create the views if its possible to access and change the order. I really want the display to update as smoothly as possible, taking the minimum amount of time, is it possible?

I have a set of custom views that I would like to add to a LinearLayout object. However, the first object I add to the layout (I do this dynamically, during runtime) has a OnMeasure method that tries to get as much space as possible resulting in that it get's all the space LinearLayout object. This is correct behavior, but when I then add more objects following that I want the allocated area for the first object to decrease so the others will fit. As it is now, each following object will get zero space, and hence won't be visible.

Is it possible to add a view dynamically that overlaps other views in the layout. I have Linear Layout defined for the activity. As part of the Layout I have a custom View. The content changes dynamically and sizes appropriately based on the content size, with fill_parent for width and wrap_content for height. But what I want is, dynamically take over the full screen and then based on a click go back to the normal mode. Is there a mode to display a view where - in it can overlap all other views in the layout?

I defined a LinearLayout:
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/top_menu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="@drawable/backrepeat" android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView android:id="@+id/topLeft" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="left"
android:src="@drawable/library_top_left"> </ImageView>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/topMiddle" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="@drawable/library_top_middle"/>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/topRight"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="right" android:src="@drawable/library_top_right"/>
</LinearLayout>
I'd like that one image is on the left side of the screen, one in the middle, and one on the right side. However all of them are on the left side.

Let's say you want to have a TextView and a Button in a Layout with horizontal orientation. Can you have the TextView aligned to the left and the Button - to the right?

I am adding a series of custom views to a LinearLayout. I have overridden the onMeasure method of these custom views, to return the dimensions based on certain parameters. Based on user input, I would like to change these parameters, to change the size of the views. How can I force the LinearLayout to "re-layout" it's children, to reflect the new dimensions?

I have problems getting some of my views aligned in a relative layout that I use inside a row of my listview.
Here is a screenshot from the layout builder in Eclipse, this is what I think it should look like:
The next image is from the emulator. Now the TestTestTest View is at the top and covers the name and distance Textviews.
This is my layout:
CODE:...............
Shouldnt align_parent_bottom put the view at the bottom of the cell in the list?

I have read the Android UI trick 2 on Android developers, which tells people how to include a layout in another layout file multiple times, and give these included layouts different id. However, the sample here is overwriting the layout id, not the id of the views IN this layout. For example, if the workspace_screen.xml looks like this: And I include it three times in another layout file. Do I end up with three TextViews with id firstText, and another three with secondText? Isn't there an id collision? And how do I find the secondText TextView in the third included layout with findViewById? What should I input in the findViewById method?

How can I achieve the following layout in Android?
What I would like, is to have the 3 blue boxes top aligned in their view, and then I'd like to have the red box centered underneath the blue boxes, but so that when I animate the red box up, it slides underneath the blue box.
I have tried placing the blue and red boxes in different layouts, but as soon as I animate the red box up, if it goes outside the border of its layout, it disappears (I don't want the red box's layout to clip the red box, I want the red box to slide under the blue box so that the blue box occludes the red box.)
I have also managed to create this layout using a series of nested layouts, but because of the draw order, the red box always appears on top of the blue box. I attempted to use the bringToFront() method, but I found out that this only works on sibling views within the same layout. Unfortunately I can't get this type of layout while keeping all 4 views within the same layout. Any suggestions? (also, if anyone has better suggestions for the title of this question I'm all ears)

I am using a linear layout to draw a scalable background in my app. I am then defining multiple imageviews inside the linear layout, all of which are PNGs containing a transparency layer. I am wanting to overlay these transparent imageviews on top of the background. My issue is that only the first defined imageview shows on top of the background, any subsequent imageviews do not appear.
CODE: Note that imgSen1 appears properly with transparency overlaid on the background. imgSen2 does not appear. If I define imgSen2 first, and imgSen1 second, imgSen2 then appears properly, as if only the first defined imageview can be seen. I would like to have multiple imageviews with transparency overlaying the background.
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="627dp"
android:layout_height="436dp"[code]...

I have a simple ListView and on that ListView I have placed a number of custom defined Views. The CustomView has ImageView and two TextViews.
The CustomView also has a "stateful drawable" as background, so that the background image (a 9-patch) changes if you press the Row in the ListView. When pressing the Row, the background image changes to a Red-ish thing.
The problem is that when the background changes from the default greyish, all the Views in the CustomView (ImageView and TextViews) still have their greyish background and thus creates very ugly greay boxes on top of the now redish background.
What is the best way to solve that problem? I hoped that such things were handled automatically (as it is done in for example .NET), but I was wrong it seems.

Here is my screen description: It is a TableLayout and it contains multiple Rows. I have set TableRow as clickable, as I want to go to next screen on click of a tableRow. Everything I am doing through Java programming (instead of XML layout, because number of TableRows changes each time) On next screen, I wanted to display all the views of that particular clicked TableRow. Here the problem i am facing is how to capture particular tableRow on onclick() even and how do I get all the textviews of that particular Row. I tried to set id at runtime, and tried to get id of view, but it's not working, giving error resourcenotfoundexception.
