Android :: How To Set Margin Of ImageView Using Code - Not Xml

Aug 5, 2010

I want to add an unknown number of ImageView views to my layout with margin. In xml, I can use layout_margin like this:

<ImageView android:layout_margin="5dip" android:src="@drawable/image" />

There is ImageView.setPadding(), but no ImageView.setMargin(). I think it's along the lines of ImageView.setLayoutParams(LayoutParams), but not sure what to feed into that.

Does anyone know?

Android :: Automatic/dynamic Margin In Layout

Aug 10, 2010

I was wondering if it's possible to set an automatic/dynamic margin (padding?) between elements in an Android layout without having to do it programmatically?

For example let's say there is a horizontal LinearLayout which is set to android:layout_width="fill_parent" and that contains five elements. Is there a setting that evenly shares the remaining empty space of the LinearLayout to the margins of the child elements?

Android :: Layout Margin Left - Right Issue In 2.2?

May 28, 2010

I'm using a framelayout to position 2 buttons in the center of the screen. I'm anchoring from the center (using layout gravity = center_horizontal) then applying Layout margin left = 50dip and Layout margin right = 50dip to each button. In 2.2 the margins are being drawn much larger than the numbers I've declared (50dip/50dip). It looks more like 125 or 150. Oddly enough, this doesn't appear to be happening with margin bottom/top, only left/right. Is this a bug, or a sign that I'm doing something incorrectly?

Android :: Add Margin Between A Radiobutton Its Label In Phone?

Jan 25, 2010

Is it possible to add a little bit of space between a RadioButton and the label while still using Android's built-in components? By default the text looks a little scrunched.

<RadioButton android:id="@+id/rb1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="My Text"/>

I've tried a couple of things:

Specifying margin and padding seem to add space around the entire element (button and text, together). That makes sense, but doesn't do what I need.
Creating a custom drawable via XML specifying images for the checked and unchecked states, then adding a few extra pixels to the right side of each image. This should work, but now you are stepping outside the default UI. (Not the end of the world, but not ideal)
Add extra whitespace to the beginning of each label. Android seems to trim a leading space character, as in " My String", but specifying unicode U+00A0, as in "u00A0My String" does the trick. This works, but it seems kinda dirty.

Any better solutions?

Android :: Changing Position And Margin Of Button Dynamically

Sep 24, 2010

I would like to change margin of my buttons in application. Suppose I have 5 buttons like this in a linear layout, one below d other. When I focus on a button, its width should increase (which I know how to handle) and at the same time, width should increase linearly towards both left and right. i.e. If the current width of the button is 250 with x co-ordinate as 50 (that means button's left is 50 and button's right is 300), when I focus on the button I should get x co-ordinate as 75 (left = 25 and right = 325). How to change the margin/x co-ordinate of the button?

Android :: Set Attributes - Margin - Gravity To View Programmatically?

I can't find any setGravity() (but a "Gravity" object I can't figure how to use) or any set setMargin() method for the "View" object. What is the easiest way to do it?

Android :: Remove Webview Margin / Display Scrolls Bar?

Aug 24, 2010

I have a webview and i wanted it to occupy the whole screen but it seems to have 7-8pix margin on the right side which is being used to display the scroll bar.

Is there anyway I can remove that margin but still display the scroll bars? I want it to do it in the way GMail app layout is done.

Here is the layout that I am using <?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"><WebView android:id="@+id/web_view"android:layout_width="fill_parent"android:layout_height="fill_parent"/> </LinearLayout>

I have tried setting the layout_marginRight="-8dip" but that is a hackish way and also takes the scrollbars off the screen making them invisible.

Android :: How Do I Get Some Padding Around My Checkbox

Aug 10, 2010

I have a horizontal LinearLayout. This LinearLayout has a checkbox next to another LinearLayout. The layout width/height of the checkbox is wrap_content, whereas the inner LinearLayout is fill_parent/wrap_content. The layout_weight of the inner LinearLayout is set to 1.

I've tried to add some android:padding around the checkbox to give some space around it, but no padding is given. I've also tried android:paddingLeft/Right/etc. How do I get some padding around my checkbox?

Note: I have an inner LinearLayout because I will be adding more TextViews

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight">
<CheckBox
android:id="@+id/mycheck"
android:text=""
android:layout_width="30dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:focusable="false"
android:background="@drawable/checkbox_background"
android:button="@drawable/checkbox"
/>
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/mytext"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:lines="1"

Android :: Padding On Shape In Progressbar

Then I close my application and start it again, and, progressbar is displayed without padded background, on next start will be displayed correctly and son on ... Could you please advice possible reasons for this?

Android :: Padding List Items?

May 31, 2010

I have a list where i basically need a hierarchy of items. Any children of an item would be padded slightly, as to easily distinguish their parent item. How could this be achieved? Note that i could, if needed, make each parent show no children, and then when the parent is clicked, a new list containing all of it's children is loaded. This however requires more clicking to display information than i would prefer. Also, the items themselves will contain graphics and whatnot (to show a drag'n'drop button, etc), so it would be best if it visually appeared as if the item itself had a margin, rather than the contents of the item being padded.

Android :: Need Place To Gridview Padding Or Imageview?

Oct 16, 2009

I'm doing the HelloViews Gridview tutorial and I ran into this problem.

http://grab.by/9Vn

XML is the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/gridview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:numColumns="2" android:verticalSpacing="0px" android:horizontalSpacing="0px" android:stretchMode="columnWidth"android:gravity="center" android:layout_margin="0dp" />

and in my adapter:

Android :: How To Add Padding To Gradient <shape> In Phone

Oct 25, 2009

I have a shape with a gradient that I'm using as a divider between ListView items. I've defined it as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">

<gradient
android:startColor="#ccd0d3"
android:centerColor="#b6babd"
android:endColor="#ccd0d3"
android:height="1px"
android:angle="0" />

</shape>
I would like to add 6 pixels of padding on either side of the gradient, so that it doesn't extend from edge to edge of the screen.

However, no matter where I put an android:left="6px" and android:right="6px", it doesn't seem to take effect. I can put it in the <shape> element, the <gradient> element, or in a separate <padding> child of <shape>, and it doesn't change anything.

How can I add padding on the left and right of my list divider?

Layout Laments - Shrink Margin Of ImageButton?

Jul 5, 2012

I have my layout (semi) done, and was wondering if I am doing it in the most efficient manner possible. The layout seems very nested, and I am getting warnings about nested weights but do not know how else to proceed.

I am including my layout file, as well as what I want it to look like, the play field is all that is left.

**Small note, is there a way to shrink the margin of a ImageButton? the large ugly grey lines around the players hand is kinda unsightly.

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"[code].....
