Android : Placing An Array Of Buttons Of Varying Length On The Layout
May 1, 2009
I want to populate my UI with dynamic buttons at runtime. I am trying to invoke a feed from the net and based on the results (which are URLs pointing to image resources), i need to create buttons on the layout with their background set as images retrieved from URLs. I have an array of buttons which get instantiated based on the number of results returned. I was wondering whats the best way to do it - as writing them on the main.xml is not feasible.

I am not able to find out the perfect layout(viewgroup) to place four buttons as shown in the attached image. Basically, i want to place four buttons near the top/left/bottom/right edge of the screen. AbsoluteLayout helped, but it is deprecated (It is also better to avoid AbsoluteLayout as it is not very flexible for orientation changes)

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 have an application that will have 5-15 buttons depending on what is available from a backend. How do I define the proper GridView layout files to include an array of buttons that will each have different text and other attributes? Each button will essentially add an item to a cart, so the onClick code will be the same except for the item it adds to the cart.
How can I define an array so I can add a variable number of buttons, but still reference each of them by a unique ID? I've seen examples of the arrays.xml, but they have created an array of strings that are pre-set. I need a way to create an object and not have the text defined in the layout or arrays xml file.
Update - Added info about adding to a GridView
I want to add this to a GridView, so calling the addView method results in an UnsupportedOperationException. I can do the following:
CODE:.........
But that doesn't layout the buttons in a grid like I would like. Can this be done in a GridView?

I am writing an Android Application which outputs some array of buttons dynamically.
My question is how to implement onClickListener() functionality for Array Of Buttons. I mean how to recognize the button that is clicked in public void onClick() method ? I need to display a toast based on the button that is clicked.

Every time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.
CODE:...........

I am stuck with a problem creating buttons dynamically in android. This is what i want to do-
I want to create 8 x 10 array of buttons. Since declaring 80 buttons in main.xml isn't efficient, I want to do this in the program itself. The biggest problem is placing/aligning the buttons like a grid. I can create button objects but how do I align them in the program?
Button b = new Button(this);
b.setId(i);
b.setText("Button " + i);
Like this-
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
.

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).
CODE:..........
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:
It seems like it should be so easy, but everything I've tried has failed.
Here's my current code:

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...

RelativeLayout is more flexible, and can do what AbsoluteLayout can do and more.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/RelativeLayout....
To place views on top of one another you can also use FrameLayout, positioning these frame layouts in their parent layout:

> I have an image that will have 5 different areas that will be "clickable." Each clickable area will be invisible and play a different sound. 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 this layout that works correctly, a relative layout with a text view and two buttons spaced evenly below it.
CODE:........
But running layoutopt it says that "this TableRow layout or its TableLayout parent is possible useless".
Is there a way to do this layout then without the tables?

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:
code:.........
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'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!

My 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:
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.)

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?

My app has 5 different relative layouts that it can switch between by using a set of buttons that is at the bottom of the screen. 3 of the layouts contain only TextViews and ImageViews. The other 2 both have a ListView in them. On the 2 views that contain lists when the soft keyboard appears the buttons that are along the bottom move up to on top of the soft keyboard. But on the other 3 views the buttons get hidden by the keyboard. The buttons all have the attribute android:alignParentBottom="true" does anyone know why they'd be behaving differently when one of these two are the active layout at the time?

I tried the following to try to display two buttons in a horizontal linear layout, with the edges of the buttons flush with the border of the linear layout. To my surprise, I found that there is always still padding between the buttons and the left, right and bottom edges of the linear layout. Only the top edges of the buttons end up flush with the border of the linear layout. Why is that? And is there a way to control this behavior?
<Linear Layout android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#777"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip">
<Button android:id="@+id/feeling_done_button"
android:text="@string/done_button_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/feeling_cancel_button"
android:text="@string/cancel_button_label"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:padding="0dip"
android:layout_margin="0dip"/></Linear Layout>
