Android :: Proportional Width Of Elements In LinearLayout
Jun 2, 2010
I have a horizontal LinearLayout and in it I have EditText and Spinner elements. Which attributes I need to adjust so I would get proportional widths: I want EditText to take 3/5 and Spinner - 2/5 of all available width?
My code looks like this:
CODE:.....................
I tried setting android:layout_weight, but somehow it does not look "stable" enough for me - when EditText has no text - everything looks fine, but as soon as I start entering text into it - it starts expanding and Spinner shrinking accordingly...

I have a vertical LinearLayout that contains a custom View that I've defined in my app and and a TextView. I'd like my custom View to be aligned on the top of the screen and the TextView to be aligned at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, no matter what changes I make to the attributes of the XML file, my custom View always seems to be centered vertically when I run the emulator. The xml is like the following:
<LinearLayout.............

Is it possible to create a horizontal LinearLayout where we specify how wide percentage-wise each element is? Something like:
LinearLayout ll = new LinearLayout(); ll.add(new TextView("a")); ll.setViewWidthAtIndex(0, 30); ll.add(new TextView("b")); ll.setViewWidthAtIIndex(1, 50); ll.add(new TextView("c")); ll.setViewWidthAtIndex(2, 20);

I am rendering a ListView inside a dialog. The ListView elements are very simple TextView objects. The problem: whatever I do, they never take the full width in the list view, which has the side effect that the list view selector only covers the actual text, not the whole list entry (i.o.w., if the text of the entry is much smaller than the width of the listview/dialog, then only a tiny portion of the list element is highlighted when focusing it).

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

I have a RelativeLayout that has two LinearLayouts in it. One is a bunch of TextViews and EditTexts that make up a form and the other is a ButtonBar that submits the form.
anyways, everything looks great in portrait, but when i switch to landscape mode the bottom TextView/EditText element is being hidden by the buttonbar.
screenshot to show the problem. as you can see some of the "email" textview and all of the email edit text are being hidden by button bar.

I want to create a full-screen page that looks like this:
---------------------------------------
| -------- --------------------------- |
|| || TextView ||
|| | --------------------------- |
|| Image | ----------------- -------- |
|| View || || ||
|| || TextView || ||
|| || || Image ||
|| || || View ||
| -------- ----------------- | ||
| --------------------------- | ||
|| TextView || ||
| --------------------------- -------- |
---------------------------------------
where each ImageView takes up at most 20% of the parent layout's width.
Primary question: Really...what is the best way to do this? After hours of searching, the best idea I can come up with is to get the screen's width and simply set the views' widths to be a max of 20% of that. However, this intuitively does not seem like a best-practice solution. (Eg. if the application wasn't running in full screen, this solution wouldn't work.) A LinearLayout won't work with the way the page is laid out (appears I have to use a RelativeLayout). And I think it would be preferable to set the views' widths based on the parent view's width (as opposed to the screen's width), but I'm not clear on how to do that either, because at the time that I'm trying to set up the widths of my children views, parentView.getWidth() returns 0. Does anyone have any good, clean solutions for how to create a page as shown above?
Secondary question: Does anyone know how to wrap text around images as shown above? After still more hours of searching, I couldn't find a solution for this; seems like you need to stitch together a couple of TextViews. Is there a better way that I'm missing?

I'm trying create a scaling layout for an Android application. The whole screen should contain two areas. The top 3/4 of the screen should be a MapView showing a certain area. The remaining quarter of the screen should contain some textual information to certain places shown on the map.
So now I'm wondering what is the best practice to archive this layout the 3:1 ratio of the screen partition? Is there a way to set this ratio in the layout xml file or do I have to calculate and set it manually by code in the corresponding activity?

How to draw, say, a rectangle on the screen with it being proportional to the current device?
e.g. a rectangle, centered on the viewport, one pixel smaller than the screen on each border.
I can live with Orthogonal, but would like perspective (basically everything at Z=something should be proportional to the screen, and the upper parts of the elements being distorted by perspective)
I can calculate everything on my own if i know the relation... but i don't have a starting point.
I could experiment and get to a relation myself... i even resorted to that while coding for the Wii, but that's a really bad decision on Android and all the screen ratios/sizes out there...

I have a Gallery with a set of images that was downloaded at run time.I followed the example here:http://www.anddev.org/a_androidwidgetgallery_-_example-t332.html but instead of using i.setImageResource(this.myImageIds[position]);I used i.setImageBitmap(bitmaps.get(position));This doesn't fill the entire width of the screen, only as much as the width specified here:i.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(150, 150)); When I increase this number, the item scales with it instead of showing more images per the example. I've even tried to scale the images before adding them to the set. Not sure what I'm missing, or where other examples of this might be. Any help would be great.

I'm trying to modify two TextViews in exactly the same way. I thought I can give them same id and with findViewById() and setText() methods change those TextViews in two lines. But it seems only one TextView is changed.Is there a way to do this?Or I have to make different ids for every element, get every element by findViewById() method and set it's text?

Just wonder what limitations there are for UI elements in AppWidgets? I tried a ListView and was met with an error. I saw the other post that EditText isn't available.Just wondering if there was a full list somewhere?

I'm having trouble positioning the layout elements. The AutoComplete in my TableLayout and the button after it are expanding the TableRow larger than the width of the screen. Anyone have an idea why? Below is my XML code as well as a picture of the problem...

In my application I change layouts very frequently with most of the user interactions. Each time when a new layout is drawn, the applications memory size is increasing. I can see this in DDMS. This is absolutely fine. I have analyzed my application with memory analyze tool and it shows that there around 42 Table layouts at some point of time and this number increase as user does more interactions with the app. Now my question is why doesn't the GC collect the stale layout objects. Does GC collect on UI widgets also??? I feel it does but can any one tell me what may be the reason for GC not collecting my UI elements.

I need to add some parts of my UI programmatically. I'm doing this because I need to set the ids of some elements up in such a way that they can be easily access in a for loop. So far I have this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/attr_row" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <EditText android:id="@+id/attr_name"
android:hint="Attribute" android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="2"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<EditText android:id="@+id/attr_val" android:hint="Value"
android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_weight="3"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:inputType="textPersonName" />
<ImageButton android:id="@+id/drop_attr" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@drawable/btn_delete_states"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" /> </LinearLayout>
At the moment, I inflate this xml five times like so:
for (int i = 0; i<5; i++) { LinearLayout attrList = (LinearLayout) findViewById (R.id.attr_list);
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.attr_row, null);
LinearLayout extraAttr = (LinearLayout) row.findViewById (R.id.attr_row);
ViewGroup.LayoutParams params = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
attrList.addView(extraAttr, i, params); }
The link below shows two pictures - the layout hierarchy and the result in the emulator. http://picasaweb.google.com/bengoldcross/Android?authkey=Gv1sRgCJ785I...
As can be seen, the xml is inflated five times successfully but only one is actually displayed. Inspecting the hierarchy viewer a bit more explains why. The layout being displayed is at location x=0 y=111 all the others are being rendered at x=320 y=111. It would appear they are being displayed a) off screen and b) on top of each other. So, why are they and how do I stop it from happening?

Here's a quote from Android's Dev Guide: A central feature of Android is that one application can make use of elements of other applications (provided those applications permit it). For example, if your application needs to display a scrolling list of images and another application has developed a suitable scroller and made it available to others, you can call upon that scroller to do the work, rather than develop your own. Isn't it a bad practice to make an app dependent on other apps?

I was wandering if there was a easy way to do the following without android layout
place an image central top
place a button center center
place a button left bottom
place a button right bottom
it doesn't sound that difficult no ?
well I can't figure out a way to place the elements as I want using stupid xml layout.

I have a database filled with records in the following format: . What I want my application to do is select records from an external database, and display those records on the phone screen using a SurfaceView.
Currently, I have an Activity, and a Service responsible for the record-gathering portion of the application. The Activity passes an intent to the Service, and the Service responds by returning the records that need to be displayed. The records are stored in my program as instances of the Data class, and merely have the screen-coordinates of where the element should be drawn in the View (I am just drawing a circle for every record in the DB).
For the sake of brevity, I won't include the service but I will include a skeleton of the Activity class and the Data that I wish to display.
CODE:.................
The problem that I am having pertains to the SurfaceView. I realize that many people are going to suggest that I use just a regular View, but my application involves a lot of elements, so a SurfaceView would be much more suitable for my needs. Below is a skeleton of my SurfaceView class that contains a nested class to manage the threads.
CODE:............
The problem that I'm having is that once I make the initial call to the Panel class, I'm going to be getting new records from the service, and consequently, my Info Map data-structure is going to get updated. However, my Panel class just gets stuck in a loop and never receives any new Data objects. All examples of SurfaceViews I've found have involved updating them methods within the SurfaceView class itself (e.g. touching the screen and creating a new image, etc.) Sadly, I'm stumped on this particular problem. Is there a better approach for designing my Activity/SurfaceView interaction? Is an additional View required?

From http://d.android.com/guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html, it said "Instantiate layout elements at runtime. Your application can create View and ViewGroup objects (and manipulate their properties) programmatically."
Can you please tell me how/where I can find example for that?
For example, how can I convert the following layout into Java code of my MyWidget. So that when I put "<MyWidget...>" in my layout xml file, it will automatically build a Gallery inside the MyWidget? code...

This is probably a very "newbie" question as I'm relatively new to the android sdk, but figured this would be good place to ask.
Say you have a layout with several textviews that all have sequential IDs (ie, tBox1, tBox2, tBox3, etc).Is it possible to reference each box in a loop? Something like:
do { iCount++; View tvBox1 = findViewById(R.id.tBox[iCount]); }

I am trying to send a list of objects from an android mobile phone app to a j2ee webserver.
I create json objects and then put the objects into an jsonarray(in an order) and then send it. I am able to receive the jsonarray on the server, obtain the objects individually too, but the order of how I inserted the objects into the jsonarray is different compared to the order present in the received array. The order of elements plays a crucial role in my data processing. Could somebody please tell me a workaround for this.

There's a webpage I pull up with webview, however i'd like to hide the 1 text link at the top. Is there a way to do this? The link is in the body, so I can't hide the body element in whole.
The webpage is all text, and one tiny image at the bottom, but the text is generated each time you load it, so I can't just copy/paste the body.

When I have a ListActivity and an Adapter how does Android handle a list with 200 elements.
Does it try to load all of them directly how does it wait till the user scrolls and then renders those elements?
Do I have to worry with performance when a list is too long?
