In xml we have android:layout_gravity ... how can i set this for any view [say image button] ... from code ...
CODE:......................
I need to change it for an imageview that resides in a linearLayout changing it from top to bottom.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI know we can set the following value to the anroid:gravity and android:layout_gravity :
center
center_vertical
center_horizontal , etc.
But i am confused regarding these both. what is the difference between the usage of android:gravity and android:layout_gravity?
What is the difference between those attributes? According to the documentation of R.attr, there isn't any difference (doc text is exactly the same, see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/R.attr.html), but apparently, that's simply not true. For example, the gravity attribute can be used on EditText to set the text alignment (e.g. left, center, right).
I often found that neither of them work to align a view at all. For example, I need to float two text views in a relative layout, one going to the left below a title bar, the other going to the right below the title bar. So what I did was this:
CODE:...............
That doesn't work, however. The left text is indeed aligned to the left inside its parent (the relative layout), but the right text is not aligned to the right; instead, it's placed directly to the right of the left text.
The property android:layout_gravity="clip_vertical|horizontal" does the following as mentioned in the sdk documentation:
Additional option that can be set to have the top and/or bottom edges of the child clipped to its container's
bounds. The clip will be based on the vertical gravity: a top gravity will clip the bottom edge, a bottom gravity will clip the top edge, and neither will clip both edges.
But I can't see anything of this in my applications. so what is the purpose of this property exactly ?
I have 4 buttons in a horizontal linear layout. I'd like the right edge of the 4th button to align with the right edge of the linear layout (equal to screen width) I've tried using android:layout_gravity="right" but it doesn't work - the right button is to the right of the 3rd one but not right aligned . Am I missing something obvious?
main.xml with only the relevant layout params only is:
CODE:....
This doesn't seem to match the stated behaviour for layout_gravity in the SDK reference :"Defines how to place the view, both its x- and y-axis, within its parent view group."
I'm obviously missing something fundamentally simple here. I have a LinearLayout containing 2 buttons. I've coloured the layout background red so I can see that it has expanded to fill its parent. I wanted the BooButton to center horizontally within the layout and the OtherButton to be right justified. But both buttons are on the left of the layout.
CODE:..................
I have a simple LinearLayout with one TextView and one ImageView. I want the text in the TextView to be aligned to the right, but the result show that the Text was aligned to the left.
Is there anything wrong with my layout xml?
CODE:...............
I would like to know if is there a way to call android:layout_gravity property from a java method. I didn't found any method in Android documentation to do it. This is the picture of the layout I want to implement: But in my situation, I need to do it through Java code, because I'll implement another layout views dinamically. To avoid merging xml layout with Java code, I would prefer make all layout using Java. Code...

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn an effort to reduce duplication, I have my app's workspace split into 3 projects:
Main (A library project, where all of the common code lives)
Free (To make the free version)
Paid (To make the paid version)
Behavior in the free version and the paid version must differ sometimes. How can I "call into" the final projects from the library project? Here is some sample psuedo-code to illustrate my question: Code...
Could it be at all possible to code an app for the G1 that would allow you to say, slightly jerk the phone to the left or right, and that gesture would act as a phone shortcut? Since the phone is equipped with an accelerometer, it seems like it could be possible to have it behave a certain way, depending on certain movements. So say I wanted to start writing a SMS message. Without even having to touch the screen, or any of the buttons, I simply just jerk the phone slightly to the right (or any sort of gesture), and then up comes the compose SMS message menu.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm developing an application that must handle multitouch. Basically I want single touch for rotating ( this is no problem ). And multitouch for scrolling.
I have the basic code in, but I'm having problems when the shift from single to multitouch, and vice verca, occur. Basically the movement will jolt because the median position of the multitouch ( two fingers ) and the absolute position of the single finger are at a distance. So if I have two fingers on the screen, they make up a median position, and then lift one finger, it would be like a quick movement from that median position to the absolute single finger position. This will be the movement that I don't want.
This is my code:
CODE:........
The onTouchDown function of the camera just sets the first value of the touch move. That's why I also use it in the up movement to set a new begin value for the single touch movement when coming from a multitouch.

Is there a way that I can automatically update my world object without having to manually call it in the setSurfaceSize method but instead call it from My world class? My guess is that I can use some sort of callback, but I don't understand them!
/* Callback invoked when the surface dimensions change. */
public void setSurfaceSize(int width, int height) {
// synchronized to make sure these all change atomically
synchronized (mSurfaceHolder) {

mCanvasHeight = height;
