View 3 RepliesI have a TextView and I'd like to add a black border along its top and bottom borders. I tried adding android:drawableTop and android:drawableBottom to the TextView, but that only caused the entire view to become black.
CODE:......
Is there a way to easily add a top and bottom border to a View (in particular, a TextView) in Android?
I want to do something like that. For example, I have a textview with String
Alibaba love Mary so muck. In that String alibaba and Mary have a event to open something but I can't know how to use event for Mary and Alibaba seperately
I would like to have a shape that has border only on 3 sides: top, left and right, i.e. I want bottom to be open. How can I achieve that defining shape in XML? Currently I have a normal 4 side border using the following shape XML definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<solid android:color="#FFE8F0F8" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#808480" />
<padding android:left="1dp" android:top="1dp" android:right="1dp" android:bottom="1dp" /> </shape>
I want to create our own BorderLayout like this <BorderLayout> <left> </left><right>/right> <top> </top><bottom> </bottom> </BorderLayout> i know there is no layout in android like this , so I want to create like this. I have seen a borderLayout http://www.anddev. org/viewtopic.php?p=5087 here .but if we want to create a BorderLayout inside the Border Layout,with this example comlexity is more.(inner BorderLayout).so if u have any solutions tell me.

I'm trying to draw some text onto an MapView on Android. The drawing of the text goes fine, but it's very hard to read the text because it's white with no black border (like the rest of the text that appears naturally on MapViews to denote cities, states, and countries). I can't seem to figure how to draw the text with a black border. This is the sort of code I'm using right now (this is just example code, found in one of my overlays):
@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
Paint textPaint = new Paint();
textPaint.setARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.CENTER);
textPaint.setTextSize(16);
textPaint.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
canvas.drawText("Some Text", 100, 100, textPaint);
super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);}

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have followed the example in for the gradient dividers: http://www.connorgarvey.com/blog/?p=34. I have tried to draw a horizontal line at the BOTTOM of my linear layout. Here is my linear layout file:
<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/test" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content>
<ImageView android:id="@+id/icon1"
android:layout_width="32dip"
android:layout_height="32dip"
And I did add <View
android:background="@drawable/black_white_gradient"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_above="@id/test"
But i don't see any line at the top of the LinearLayout. And when I go to Hierarchy View and see he View (for the hort separator), the getWidth() is 0 while getHeight() is 1. Can you please tell me what am I missing?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using border-radius on my android emulator I am seeing ugliness like this:
Is there anyway to get Android to display rounded corners via -webkit-border-radius in a more pleasing way? Most modern desktop browsers and Mobile Safari seem to antialias their corners, but not Android's renderer.
I'm really hoping I don't have to do this with images, and there is some awesome trick to get pretty corners with only a border radius css declaration.
Between each row in list view, android draw a horizontal line (fades away at both ends). If I have a LinearLayout view, how can i add a border like that?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to set custom border for gallery item.
When i zoom a image which is selected in gallery,I want to change border only for selected item.
How to do that?
I have an imageview which has a photo taken with the camera as its background and a frame as it's foreground (src). In that way the photo is positioned behind the frame so the photo get's a nice border.
The imageview is a square (265x265dip). Now the problem is that photos taken are rectangular and thuse they are squeezed into the imageview making them look akward.
So how can I crop the bitmap of the photo so it is fitted as a square so I can then put it as a background for the imageview?
Is there a way to define/customize a border around the currently selected Gallery item? I know, i can create a Drawable and draw four lines into that but there must be a simpler way.

I've a border set around a drawable using LinearLayout (bg: rounded rectangle).
The drawable and the border is used as a tab view. I'd like to change the border color of the tab when it is selected.
How can I do this?
Color state list doesn't seem to work as the view being selected is not the shape (i.e border) but the tab. Drawable state list doesn't seem to work either as I'm trying to swivel between views, not drawables. Moreover, I can't find any "onSelectedListener" of the sort...
Is it possible to remove the bottom line showed in the tab bar? It is grey when not selected.
And is it possible to change the yellowish color to something else?

I know how to display an image that is bigger than the screen. That's fairly simple and explained in details here, however, this method makes you able to scroll as far as you want, event if you have left the image and you just have black screen. I would like to know how we can make the scrolling stop when we reach the side of the picture...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
