Android :: TextView Inside LinearLayout Stretches The LinearLayout
Aug 21, 2010
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

So I've been extremely frustrated by this for a long time now.I've posted before, but can't seem to find a good solution. My goal is to have something pretty much exactly like the installed application details page in the Android Market.I need a list of items displayed along with other content above the list, and would like the content above to scroll up along with the list (exactly like the application details does for the "My Review" and other descriptive info).Due to responses to my previous posts, I came to believe that it really wasn't possible to do this with a ListView.So rather than using a ListView, I refactored my code to use a simple LinearLayout and add individual View items to the list, thinking I could just set each View as clickable and add an OnClickListener to each View in the LinearLayout.That's not working at all though, and now I'm getting even more frustrated.If someone can help me get the OnClickListener working, then I think it'll work, but I do need a separator for the LinearLayout.How do I add a separator like the one used for ListView to my LinearLayout?

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.

Im trying to place an image and some text in my view, with the image being twice the height of the text so that the two rows of text can be placed next to the image, like so:
_____
| |text here
|_____|text here
The way i try to do this is to put the two TextViews in a LinearLayout, then place the ImageView and the LinearLayout, containing the text, in a TableLayout with one row and two columns.
When i do this i only se the ImageView. In fact, even when i comment out the adding of the ImageView to the table the text inside the LinearLayout wont show up at all.
CODE:.....................

I have a LinearLayout inside a ScrollView that has android:layout_height="fill_parent", but it doesn't expand to the full height of the ScrollView. My layout looks something like:
CODE:........
I can see that the LinearLayout doesn't expand the full height of the ScrollView because in Eclipse in Android Layout Editor, if I select the ScrollView (in the Outline panel) it is highlighted with a red border that fills the screen to the bottom but when I select the LinearLayout its highlight doesn't expand to the bottom of the screen. How can I get it to do so?
The effect I'm trying to achieve is to have some text and a button below it (inside the LinearLayout in level 4 there's just a button). The text can be big enough to need a scrollbar, in which case I want the user to have to scroll down in order to see the button. In case the text is not big enough for a scroll bar, I want the LinearLayout containing the button to stick to the bottom of the screen.
At first I thought I shouldn't post the full XML because it's usually a turn-down to see a huge chunk of code in a question. However, it seems it might be necessary, so here's the full layout.
CODE:........
At the moment I have resorted to android:layout_gravity="bottom" on the problematic LinearLayout, which makes the button stick to the bottom of the screen no matter what. But that also makes the text stick to the bottom of the screen, which is not exactly what I was after.
Update: scratch that, android:layout_gravity="bottom" makes the ScrollView unable to, well, scroll.

I try to create my custom view inside a linearlayout. For example
<View android:id="@+id/ViewPaint" class="com.example.android.helloactivity.HelloActivity$DrawingView"/>
In the java source I created a DrawingView class which extends View. Unfortunatly it does not get instantiated. I tried to overwrite the ondraw() but without success. Code...

I'm trying to accomplish something fairly simple but struggling to get the right combination of layoutWidth/weight to make this work.
I have a horizontally oriented LinearLayout with width fill_parent containing two TextViews. The TextView on the right has variable width text, and I want the TextView on the left to adjust its size accordingly to as much width as possible. Essentially, the right TextView must always show all of its contents and the left TextView should extend as far as possible to the edge of the TextView on the right.

When I tried to create a ViewFlipper inside a class which extends LinearLayout, its throwing an exception
"java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare()".
I am creating the ViewFlipper using,
ViewFlipper flipper = new ViewFlipper(ctContext);
But when I create the ViewFlipper in a class which extends Activity, its working normally. What may the reason?

It seems that a TextView inside a LinearLayout forces that LinearLayout to be larger. I am trying split my screen top 50% and bottom 50% and also the bottom 50% is split into 3 parts. So I did my weights 3 (for the top), and then 1, 1, 1 (for the bottom) for a total of 6.
Here is what it looks like. http://i.imgur.com/3FJSW.jpg
As soon as I take out the TextView inside the first LinearLayout the splits are proper. The moment I put the TextView inside the top LinearLayout the top LinerLayout gets larger by the amount of the the TextView.
Here is my code:

We are using TextView's Ellipsize function to scrolling text in it and there many other controls in our window. We noticed CPU would go up to 50% if text started scrolling. After digging deeper, we found all controls in our layout kept drawing when texts scrolling. We wonder why? And how to avoid all controls redrawing?

I create a LinearLayout (orientation horizontal) which contains some TextView. The LinearLayout has a size of 1200px. When user move on, the screen, I would like to do like the Launcher application. I tried to use startScroll function. even if I set a distance, the layout doesn't move alone. Only distance did by user is slided. Does startScroll move alone all content? If yes, why my code doesn't work?

I'd like to get the height of a linearlayout. I found more information in this answer
View.getWidth()/View.getHeight() won't give you a meaningful answer until the view has been measured.
How will I know that view has been measured? Is there some event for it?
Solution for me is to get layout's height in overriden onWindowFocusChanged()

I recently struggled with an apparently simple Android layout: I wanted a WebView above a Button. It worked fine with the following parameters:
WebView:
Height: wrap-content
Weight: unset (by the way, what is the default?)
Button:
Height: wrap-content
Weight: unset
However if the web page became too big it spilled out over the button. I tried various combinations of weights and heights, and all except one either completely hide the button, or partially cover it...............

On the emulator, I see the custom SurfaceView _map Object take up the whole screen, except for the EditText text-box at the bottom, right where it should be. When I run the same code, same everything, on my Motorola Droid, there is no EditText to be seen anywhere. I figure that I am missing something with the LinearLayout implementation I have. Until now, I've gotten off easy on learning how to use another API's layout manager.

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?
