newPost =new Button(BlogsList.this); newPost.setText("Add Entry To Blog"); newPost.setPadding(10, 10, 10, 10); newPost.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams (LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); newPost.setOnClickListener(new NewPost(b.getName (),b.getBlogId())); l22.addView(newPost);
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?
I have an element in the page that under certain circumstances has to get the margin-top increased. as the title says, the element is systematically rendered in the page via xml. Only in certain circumstances, and when that specific view is already rendered, I need to increase the margin. Is it possible at all? workaround?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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?
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs 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?
I am using the following Layout for the titlebar with a blue backround color

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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
After some search, even in the WebView and related classes source code, I could not find where the built-in 8-pixel inner margin of a WebView is set. I would like to display a WebView with no inner margin: is it feasible, please? Or am I missing something and there is no top and left inner margin inside a WebView?

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?

I'm using xml file to define progress bar. I defined padding on background shape. But this setting will be sometimes displayed correctly, sometimes not. So If I start my application or Activity with progressbar inside, there will be correctly displayed progressbar with background and 'padded' progress. 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?
xml file:..................
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.

I have a padding that I can't find where is it coming from.
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" />

I can't seem to find the place where I can get rid of that padding (or margin). Pictures are 160px x 160px.
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?
