Android :: LinearLayout/TextView Sizing

Jun 8, 2010

I'm trying to accomplish something fairly simple but struggling to get the right combination of layoutWidth/weight to make this work.

I have a horizontally oriented LinearLayout with width fill_parent containing two TextViews. The TextView on the right has variable width text, and I want the TextView on the left to adjust its size accordingly to as much width as possible. Essentially, the right TextView must always show all of its contents and the left TextView should extend as far as possible to the edge of the TextView on the right.

Android :: TextView Inside LinearLayout Stretches The LinearLayout

Aug 21, 2010

If I have 2 LinearLayouts split %50/%50 everything is fine. Weights are 1 and 1. As soon as I add a TextView inside the top LinearLayout, it stretches that layout. I use "wrap_content" as the documentation says I should when it comes to weights. As you can see the red and green should be split evenly and text on grey background should be inside red box.

Here is the code:..............

Now if I switch to "fill parent" as follows it actually works but it creates another problem. Here is the code (so far so good):

So looking at above we were forced to use "fill_parent" and we would think like we fixed the problem but here is the problem if we are using "fill_parent" (I took out the textview just to show the problem, textview doesnt make the problem go away anyways):

As you can see I assign the weights 3 (top red) and 2 (bottom green) but what actually happens is they get flipped: The red becomes 2 and bottom becomes 3. Just measure the pixels too see.

Here are the results of the 3 codes: http://imgur.com/iVt8g.jpg

Android :: Prevent TextView From Stretching Out It's Parent LinearLayout?

Jul 24, 2010

It seems that a TextView inside a LinearLayout forces that LinearLayout to be larger. I am trying split my screen top 50% and bottom 50% and also the bottom 50% is split into 3 parts. So I did my weights 3 (for the top), and then 1, 1, 1 (for the bottom) for a total of 6.

Here is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/3FJSW.jpg

As soon as I take out the TextView inside the first LinearLayout the splits are proper. The moment I put the TextView inside the top LinearLayout the top LinerLayout gets larger by the amount of the the TextView.

Here is my code:

Android :: Why Setting TextView.Ellipsize As Marquee Cause Its Sibling View In Linearlayout Redraw

Feb 3, 2010

We are using TextView's Ellipsize function to scrolling text in it and there many other controls in our window. We noticed CPU would go up to 50% if text started scrolling. After digging deeper, we found all controls in our layout kept drawing when texts scrolling. We wonder why? And how to avoid all controls redrawing?

Android :: TableLayout Column Sizing

Jun 24, 2010

I have a TableLayout with three columns that represents a form with

requiredSymbol | label | inputfield.

I want the input field to fill the remaining width of the screen right to the label. So far the only solution I found is this

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

The maxWidth needs to be there are some value, which is actually ignored. Then the stretchColumns value does its thing nicely. Note that this also works if the content of the EditText would otherwise make the table span beyond the screen border (imho a bug..).

This works nicely now but seems a little bit of a hack to me. Is there a better way?

Android :: Dynamically Sizing Views As A Percentage - Or Similar

Mar 8, 2010

To use as an example: lets say that I have 2 EditTexts and one Button that I'm using as a login form. I want the EditTexts to be the same size, one after the other, with the login Button half their widths. Something like this:

The only way that I've been able to find to make the button 1/2 the width (but still maintain it's dynamic sizing) is to use a TableLayout with an empty view as the first field. Something like this:

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

That feels like a god-awful hack and there has GOT to be a better way. Do you know of one?

Android :: Display Image From URL - Sizing And Screen Orientation?

Aug 30, 2010

I am trying to display an image from a URL, which may be larger than the screen dimensions. I have it kind of working, but I would like it to scale to fit the screen, and I also have problems when the screen orientation changes. The image is tiny, and I would like it to scale its width to the screen as well. (In both cases, I would like the image to fill the screen width with scrollbars (if necessary for height).

Here is my ImageView:

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

Here is the java code which loads the image: (some error handling code removed for simplicity)

CODE:.........

I have tried different settings for android:scaleType. I'm sorry if this question has been asked before. I've gone through a number of tutorials on the subject, but they don't seem to work for me. Not sure if it has anything to do with the way the image is loaded. (from the web instead of a local resource)

Another issue is that sometimes the image doesn't even load. There are no runtime errors, I just get nothing in the ImageView.

Android :: Android RelativeLayout - Trying To Vertically Center A TextView When The TextView Below Has No Text

Jul 14, 2010

I have a ListView that contains an Image on the left of two vertically-oriented TextViews using a RelativeLayout. When both TextViews have text it looks fine. Sometimes the TextView on the bottom won't have any text, and the problem is that the entire layout is several pixels above where it should be because it still reserves that space for text when there isn't any making the entire list have annoying blank gaps. I remember seeing an example of where someone made the layout not reserve the space, but I can't remember how he did it.

I'm trying to create a textView in the parent activity onActivityResult but the textView does not appear. There is an ImageView that takes up the whole parent activity. I can create a textView and place it, and it should go on top of the imageView?

In the parent class:

Intent chooseClothesIntent = new Intent(this, ChooseClothesActivity.class);
chooseClothesIntent.putExtra("menuId", menuId);
startActivityForResult(chooseClothesIntent, 1);
}[/HIGH]

[Code]...

then in my new activity:

[HIGH]@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
try {
ClothingItem ci = mListContents.get(position);
String imagePath = ci.getImagePath();

Android :: Get Height Of A Linearlayout

I'd like to get the height of a linearlayout. I found more information in this answer

View.getWidth()/View.getHeight() won't give you a meaningful answer until the view has been measured.

How will I know that view has been measured? Is there some event for it?

Solution for me is to get layout's height in overriden onWindowFocusChanged()
