I want to display the text for some buttons vertically "down the screen" instead of horizontally. I don't want the orientation of the letters to change just the direction in which the letters are printed. Is there any way to achieve this, other than creatng a drawable that has the letters in this format and using it as a background? I guess I'd need to center the letters horizontally as well.

I want to draw a straight vertical line on my Android activity, when a button is pressed. Please explain how I can draw the line with a position & length I want.I have a linear layout with vertical orientation. A set of buttons constitute this linear layout. When I press one button, I want a line to appear to the right of these buttons, like dividing the screen halfway - a straight line of width=2dip and height=200dip.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Gridview, include hundred of items (thumbnail images). I set a multi-select mode, in this mode, user just need to swipe his finger to start selecting multiple items (this case, gridview can not be scrolled). And in a normal touch, Gridview still can vertically scroll for user to see other thumbnails and continue selecting.

I am trying to set the Text of a Text View when a button is clicked.
I have been struggling, because the variable will increment, but If i put the code in to set the text, it crashes the app ?
Here is my code when it crashes:
Quote:
package com.example.test;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
[Code].....
however if I comment out the line
Quote:
score.setText(points);
, the app doesnt crash, but it doesnt do anything then.

View 2 Replies View RelatedA 'Button' view comes up with text, while the 'ImageButton' widget comes up with an image but no text, is there a way to relatively easily (e.g. method calls, say), either:
1. Add text to ImageButton (like those buttons that appear in menu item/via the physical menu button)?
2. Add an icon/image to a Button?
without resorting to constructing a new button class? I.e. I could put text within the image, but then I can't use Localization properly/effectively.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to have an image (as the background) on a button and add dynamically, depending on what's happening during run-time, some text above/over the image. If I use ImageButton I don't even have the possibility to add text. If I use Button I can add text but only define an image with android: drawableBottom and similar XML attributes as defined here.
However these attributes only combine text & image in x- and y-dimensions, meaning I can draw an image around my text, but not below/under my text (with the z-axis defined as coming out of the display). One idea would be to either extend Button or ImageButton and override the draw()-method. But with my current level of knowledge I don't really know how to do this (2D rendering). Maybe someone with more experience knows a solution or at least some pointers to start?
I'm trying to create standard button in android with a background and some text in front but some fairly specific alignment. I want the text to be centered vertically and on the left with 20dp of padding. The alignment works but the padding doesn't. I know I could probably get the desired effect by putting a few spaces in the text but that seems like a hack and next I want to do a similar thing but with the text at the top so I would prefer a more elegant solution. Here's what I have:
<Button
android:layout_width="312dp"
android:layout_height="95dp"
android:id="@+id/gv_music_button"
android:text="Music"
android:textSize="30sp"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:gravity="left|center_vertical"
/>
