Android :: RelativeLayout - Positioning View Under ViewGroup
Apr 23, 2010
I have the following structure defined in an xml layout file.
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<FrameLayout android:id="@+id/frame" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" ></FrameLayout>
<Button android:id="@+id/button" android:layout_below="@id/frame" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</RelativeLayout>
The FrameLayout is positioned correctly in the center of its parent. But the Button isn't getting positioned under it. Instead it's displaying in the top left corner. Am I doing something incorrectly or is this a bug with RelativeLayout?

I am trying to add a view to a viewgroup but I am getting the following error when I run the application
Error: E/AndroidRuntime( 570): java.lang.IllegalStateException: The specified child already has a parent. You must call removeView() on the child's parent first. Code: public class ExampleApp extends ViewGroup{
private LayoutParams mLAyoutParams; AlbumArtImageView mAlbumArtThumnail;
static final String TAG = "ExampleApp";......................

I want to share the same view.mTag value of a viewgroup to all the childs under that viewgroup.
Like all childs should call the getTag() of viewgroup to get the tag .How can i do that ?

I want to have a ViewGroup with another View in it. The user should be able to move the other View around the ViewGroup, and fling it away. However, the inner View shouldnt only move, it should also scale and so on (so we dont restrain ourselves to just movements). I don't really know the best way to implement it.
First I though about using a ViewGroup pretty much as it is (i.e. take advantage of the already-written methods). Then I could do the flinging with an Animation. However, when I move the View around with my finger, wouldnt I have to do a requestLayout, since the View changes size when I move it? Or could I just set a transform?
The other alternative would be to override the draw-method and do most of the work myself. For instance, when the user moves his/her finger, I could get a cache of the View and just paint it on the Canvas (with some transform). However, how would I do the flinging then, without an Animation? I could use a Scroller/VelocityTracker, but What would "drive" the repaints? Which is the best way to do this? Also, I won't have just one View, but a couple of them, so I'd like the solution to be effective.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Since the root element is a LinearLayout, which extends ViewGroup, why does main.xml get turned into a View instead of a ViewGroup? For example, in my main Activity class, I try to get the number of subviews that the LinearLayout contains like this:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
ViewGroup vg = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.layout.main);
Log.v("myTag", "num children: " + vg.getChildCount());
but it crashes when i call vg.getChildCount(). What is the right way of doing it?

I am using Android SDK 1.5. I am developing an activity with multiple content views. It will call setContentView() with different viewgroup instance for different functionality. It contains a text input dialog popped up by an option menu item. I didn't specify anything for IME in mainfest.xml & EditText attributes. I found at first, the soft keyboard for the text input dialog will overlap on the activity content view. But after several content view switch (by calling setContentView() with different ViewGroup instance), the soft keyboard will resize the activity content view. Why this inconsistent behavior happens?

i'm in final stage of writing my custom widget (quite similar to Home's sliding panel). it works quite well except one thing: i have some problems with positioning it in FrameLayout (see 3 rightPanel* Panels in main.xml in attached eclipse project).basically i don't like the idea i'm using there: setting layout_marginTop in panelHandle children.

I'm trying to write an app for my Samsung Vibrant (running android 2.1).I used the example "Form Stuff" app available as tutorial on the android developers website. I basically added a background picture to the application. the background picture has some text on it towards the top. I want to display a list of elements (to be selectable by teh user) but I want this list to start from a certain position on the screen (say for example - start from the middle of the screen). tried reading the listview under dev resource and searched the forums but I could not find a way to do this.Could anyone please help me out? or if this is not possible, then suggest me something else which i can place at a certain position on the screen.

I have a binary file which contains keys and after every key there is an image associated with it. I want to jump off different keys but could not find any method which changes the index positioning in input stream. I have seen the mark() method but it does not jump on different places.
Does anybody have any idea how to do that?

Is there a replacement keyboard that has a way to position the cursor without sliding out the useless physical keyboard? I despise the keyboard and would never slide it out if there were another way to move the cursor around.
I wish I liked the Incredible, but I don't. I would pay retail for a Droid without the keyboard and with the cursor function of the Incredible.

Can you please tell me how can I setHeight for a ViewGroup? I see there is a layout(l,t,r,b);
But that is different form setHeight(), since I don't know where should be the top/bottom of the viewGroup. I need to set the height of the ViewGroup and return that to ListAdapter.

I know my original post (at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa..., I could not find a way to perform a reply, maybe it's too old) is not sexy, but I'm now facing that problem in many situations. Let me please rephrase what I attempt to do, and what my problem is.
I have a RelativeLayout made of three widgets (named 1, 2 and 3 on the illustrations below): one attached to its parent left border (labelled 1), one to its parent right border (labelled 2) and the third (labelled 3) inserted between the 2 previous ones (its left border is attached to the first widget right border, and its right border is attached to the second widget left border). The third widget (the middle/central one laballed "3") is far taller than the two others, and I would like the first and second items (1 and 2) to be vertically centered with the middle widget.
I have resorted to the "android:layout_centerVertical" attribute for both the first and second widget, but I do not get the expected result. See at the bottom the various layouts I'm mentionning. Could someone please help me, and tell me whether what I intend to do is feasible, and how? Thank you for your time.
Layout with no "android:layout_centerVertical" specified: ------- |1|3|2| --|3|-- |3| ---
Layout with "android:layout_centerVertical" set to "true":
--- |3| |3| |3| ------- |1| |2| --- ---
What I'd like: --- --|3|-- |1|3|2| --|3|-- ---

I've always been using RelativeLayout everytime I needed a View container, because of it's flexibility, even if I just wanted to display something really simple.Is it ok to do so, or should I try using a LinearLayout when I can, from a performance/good practices standpoint?

I am able to get a GLSurfaceView to have a transparent background with:
CODE:............
when I set the Activity's window background to transparent and the GLSurfaceView is the contentView of the Activity.
But, let's say my GLSurfaceview is parented by a ViewGroup and I want GLSurfaceView bg to be transparent to see the Viewgroup's background - I am not able to do so with the code above. Is this a limitation or am I missing something?
