Android :: Making Landscape View Without Layout-land?
Sep 15, 2010
I just want to group 4 buttons like this...
Portrait mode:
[1][2]
[3][4]
Landscape mode:
[1][2][3][4]
I dont want to hardcopy my Portrait mode xml-File and put it into the "layout-land" folder for this minor difference. Then, I have to modify two file when implementing new stuff.
Isnt that achievable through wraping it up intelligently in some LinearLayouts? Something like this? ({} represent LinearLayouts)
{{[1][2]}{[3][4]}}

While developing for Android, I am unable to open more than one main.xml file in an Eclipse editor at a time.Each time I open one, it simply replaces the editor (tab) of the first main.xml with the new one, instead of opening a new tab - even if the contents of the existing tab were unsaved.Even stranger, I can open multiple main.xml files from different projects with no problems.This only happens when they're within the same project.

I have 5 layout folders. layout, layout-small, layout-normal, layout-medium and layout-large.
My app is heavily image based. As a result I have created the proper images. mdpi, hdpi and xhdpi. I don't think I need to worry about ldpi since screens are only getting bigger.
With this in mind and the need for me to now create a good landscape layout for all my pages, how do I go about this? Is it simple layout-land? No need for large/small/normal again right?
Considering that I've got all my hdpi and xdpi images do I even need layout-medium, layout-large and layout-normal? Because the images will be adjusting themselves based on screensize surely I can use one layout and have that work for all screens..?
It's all getting very confusing now that I'm trying to add a landscape view to my app. It doesn't do it very well at the moment so I will probably have to design a landscape friendly layout so I can understand that I would need to rebuild all my layouts for this particular use (We're talking about 100 layous here but oh well, I can manage it. )

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.

I want to build my own custom view which should look like the Crysis-GUI.At first I designed a XML-based Layout and made it visible via the setContentView(int resid)-Method. Worked pretty well.But now I wan't to go a step further and draw in my Layout. So I created a new Class, let it extend View and overrode the onDraw()-Method. So far so good.But how can I still use my XML-Layout? I can't do setContentView anymore, so how could the same effect be achieved?

So my layout looks basically like this:
<ScrollView>
<RelativeLayout>
<BunchOfViews/>
<ImageView android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</ScrollView>
I have the ScrollView so all of the layout always is visible no matter the height of the screen. The problem is that on a very high screen, I still want my imageview to be at the bottom. However, a child of a ScrollView dont seem to have a defined bottom. The View is placed at the top of the layout. How can I solve this problem in a neat way?

I have an XML layout with some custom tabs, a heading, and a ProgressBar(main.xml). I wish to add another XML layout(home.xml) to the main.xml layout, as i wish to keep main.xml re-usable for other activity's layouts and simply add things to it as necessary.The problem: after inflating R.layout.home into rootLayout, it seems as though the ProgressBar contained in rootLayout is hidden underneath the content of home.xml.Is there a way to tell certain views(via XML) to float above other views when the layout is constructed in this way?if not, am i forced to use methods such as progressBar.bringToFront() to raise targeted views to the top?what alternatives do i have in z-ordering views when some layouts are constructed using inflation?

I am finding that my layouts tend to look great in one orientation but if I change the phone's orientation, things are a mess. For example on one screen I have 6 large buttons that look great in portrait orientation but if the user changes phone orientation, those buttons get cut off in portrait.
Do I need to code two layouts for every screen - one for portrait and one for landscape? That would be such a waste of time.

My application should hold a camera preview surface. The camera is fixed to landscape view via AndroidMainfest.xml I am quite new to the Android plattform programming. Of course I don't know much about the programming tricks and workarounds yet. I did a lot of research over the last two weeks (even studied the native Camera implementation), but couldn't find a good solution so far.

I've tried to add a TextView before a ListView in a LinearLayout. The result is that the ListView wont show at all. The same thing happens if I put the TextView after the ListView, but then I will only see the ListView. Is there a way to get a text view above the ListView without to much of a hassle?

Presumably one layout or other must be native to the O/S and the other layout needs an expensive internal rotation + transformation in order to display in correct position.

I am using a flipper in my main xml file to view multiple layouts in my app. For instance, if something = 1, the user is shown one version of the flipper, where if something = 2 the user sees a different version. Is there a way I can view the layout of the xml file for the other flippers I have rather than the main one? Ie, is there a way to switch views of each state of the flipper in eclipse?

I was just trying out with table layout to display some data....The data is a 3 column data and i want that the columns should utilize the whole width available. But it seems that the layout XML code which i had used is just wrapping up the columns according to the content.

I have made an activity to take picture using Camera class and the SurfaceView, everything works good except one little thing.
The main view is blocked in landscape to show the camera correctly. I have set the camera's pref, like setPictureSize, setPreviewSize etc... using those supported from the device. And it's ok.
So, when i take the picture and just a while after the camera sound, it's showed for a while a resutl of the picture taken, but it appear stretched. Why?

I have ads that display on the top and bottom of the screen, and I'd like them both to slide off the screen smoothly, instead of just disappear. Is there some way to do this? They are both WebViews, if that makes any difference.

I need to know that if Reverse landscape (Changing phone direction in clockwise direction) is possible in android.If yes please give some pointers on that topic. Currently video playback is possible in normal landscape mode. Can I change that from applications side or it needs support from framework.

I am wondering if there is a way to override the onkeydown for an edittext view without making your own class? I just want my user to type something in and hit enter, i put up the flag so enter doesn't actually do anything now, but I want it to launch a function ive made.

I've been experimenting with the IMM and it's mostly straightforward, but for some reason, my custom view that launches the soft keyboard works only in portrait mode. Launching it is easy enough:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
I've seen a couple notes about the soft keyboard only working in portrait but I assume this was a limitation in a previous version, since all the Android EditText views work fine in both portrait and landscape. Is there some additional piece of work needed to enable landscape?

I'm using Docs to Go on my Incredible. If I have the keyboard open in the landscape view, it only displays half a sentence of text and I can't scroll through the text at all. It makes editing impossible. Any ideas how to fix this?

I was typing on my keyboard (landscape view) and noticed that the "Y" key didn't work. I though it was nothing, until I tried to exit out of my navigation app, but the exit button wouldn't work. So i downloaded a draw app to see it maybe it was just my screen, and what do you know, i was able to draw swiping up and down holding the phone upright. But when trying it side to side, a whole panel doesn't work. wth? Tried to reboot and nothing. Anyone else have this issue? Looks like its back to sprint this evo goes. Peep the pics.

Flashed the CM6 RC1 Rom and have been running smooth as glass. Suddenly, it is crashapaloosa on me. I am betting it is the hinky Flash 10.1 that is doing it. It happens mostly when I switch from portrait to landscape view.
Also getting odd messages like "Unable to Log In". Not sure what it is logging into but apparently it can't. Anyone else having issues? Will try dumping Flash 10.1, also will try shutting down SetCPU and see if those don't help. Ah bugs ;-)

Is it just me that is still having problems with the swype pop up warning every time I turn the phone into landscape view, even when I'm just doing things like web browsing?.. I am using the beta version of the software (originally downloaded it from the swype site before it was pulled, but un-installed it due to problems getting it to work: I'm now using the same beta version that is knocking around: droid.swype.beta5612).

Using the HTC keyboard in landscape view, is there a way to scroll through the text? I use Docs to Go on my iPod Touch and can scroll through the text with the landscape keyboard open. If I have the keyboard open on my Incredible, I can't scroll through the text.
