View 2 RepliesI am in the process of trying to convert a desktop app to Android - and am struggling with some very basic stuff. When I specify a layout including a textview that holds a sizable amount of text wrap_content seems to arbitrarily break in the middle of a word - and I can not find any documentation indicating this can be controlled.

In an info showing activity I have a 'fact box' followed by a large box of text. I'd like the infobox to float right, similar to the following picture.
Is this possible using the android TextView api?
I am not clear with what happens between the bindService and onServiceConnected calls, I was doubting my implementation (Wrapping up the service with a java package) is causing this problem.

I've got a horizontal Linear Layout that contains a variable number of child Linear Layouts. Right now, the children will just run off the screen if there are too many of them. How would I make the parent layout wrap the children on multiple lines? If this is not possible, should I be using a different layout as the parent?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy EditText hint is not wrapping. A hint isn't very useful if the last part is cut off. I am very cautious about restricting/forcing the dimensions my EditText box to ensure it looks decent regardless of screen dimensions. Here's what the relevant xml looks like:
<EditText android:id="@+id/ET1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:hint="@string/Hint1"
android:lines="3">
</EditText>
I've already set android:lines="3" to mitigate the issue, but it isn't enough. In order to maximize compatibility with various screen dimensions I would prefer OS wrapping over me putting in line breaks and hard returns in the string. There are other things happening in the view which also compel me to not manually set the width of the box to promote good breaks.
How do I make multiline EditText within a Relative Layout wrap the lines of text that were entered? I want the user to enter one line of text without allowing line breaks, but show it broken up by words into multiple lines inside a rather smallish, square EditText window.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using data to build elements of a ViewGroup. The ViewGroup are LinearLayouts, except the leaves, which are TextViews. Because Data draws the hierarchy, I inflate the LinearLayouts and TextViews from individual XML files programatically on the fly.
My Problem:
When I create a LinearLayout with the attribute wrap_content, then inflate a TextView or other LinearLayout into it, I can't get the parents (or enough of them, anyway) to redraw, respecting the new view. These LinearLayouts always seem to come out at 0 size, because when they are first created (before their children are inflated), they wrap around nothing. I've tried calling some stock methods of ViewGroup but nothing seems to work.
I am trying out this table layout in which there are three columns, each column utilizing the maximum space as they could (using strechColumn tag). Now when a column gets content which is too long, then table layout jumps of the screen.
How can i set the content of a column to wrap, so that table layout dont jump off the screen.
here is the XML code for table layout i used...
I'm very new to Android (like 2 days), but I'm experienced with other layout toolkits. I'm trying to put an AdView below a TabHost, and it seems that I can either get the TabWidget or the AdView to display correctly, but never both.
First, here's an ASCII art version of what I'm trying to accomplish:
--------------------------------------------
| Tab 1 | Tab 2 |
--------------------------------------------
| MapView when tab 1 is selected |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
--------------------------------------------
| AdView that stays no matter what tab |
--------------------------------------------
As you can see, I'm trying to get the AdView outside the TabWidget or FrameLayout. I want it to be below the whole tabhost contents.
Here's the layout I've got before adding the AdView...
Unfortunately, in that one, my MapView in the first tab puts the Zoom controls on top of the AdView. Is there some simple layout I'm missing? Cuz I can get the TabWidget to wrap_content for height, or the AdView to wrap_content for height, but only when they go above the "@android:id/tabcontent."
Anything below the tab content gets eaten by the MapView.
I have a list view holding text views and when the text gets too big, it wraps and the item takes up two spaces. I am wondering if there is a way to turn off line wrap in this case, and if it should be done in the textview or the listview.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe Android 2.0 web browser included with the Milestone (UK version) does not wrap text on web pages. This forces me to zig-zag right and left to read text on a page, rendering the web browser near unusable. I've tried chaning the text size or default zoom levels but nothing works: it's like viewing an image version of the webpage.Is this bug particular to the Milestone?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHas the browser on the Droid X been updated to word-wrap with the Froyo update as it does on the Incredible and Fascinate? How about the Dolphin HD browser?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else noticed that after updating to Froyo, that text wrapping/redrawing is not working properly while web-browsing?For example, if you go to a text heavy website, like Reddit, and I zoom in (either by double-tap or pinch), the text will redraw, but it will be slightly larger than the screen's width. To read the text, I am required to scroll a bit to the right, then back to the left, and so on.I never had this problem prior to the Froyo update. Can anyone else confirm that they are having this problem? before I get bombed on, I should say that I am very happy with Froyo in other regards. I have not had any battery drain issues or any lag anywhere. I did not do a factory reset.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a rather complex ListView, with variable list item heights. Under certain conditions, I need to display an additional view in a list item, which is hidden by default (View.GONE). By enabling it (View.VISIBLE), the list item grows in height (or at least it's supposed to).
The problem:
Even though I declare the item's root layout to wrap_content, and each component in the item to fill_parent, the view I hide/show which is supposed to change the item's height is simply cut off at the bottom instead of its parent (the item layout) growing in height to fully display it.
Are there any gotchas related to ListViews and item layouts and item height which I may have missed?
Some more observations:
For testing purposes I have now reduced the list item layout to just contain the root LinearLayout and an ImageView. When I set the LinearLayout height to e.g. 200dip and the ImageView to fill_parent, I would have expected the ImageView to grow until it hits the 200dip limit set by its parent.
However, the image will instead be only ever as tall as its bitmap resource (as if I had set it to wrap_content) and the whole list item will be of the same height (i.e. as if I had set it to wrap_content, too).
If however I set the image height to e.g. 200dip, then the list item will grow in height, and so will the item layout.
In other words, the layout_height of the list item layout is completely ignored, and so is any height value on ImageView other than a hard-coded pixel value.
I found this question asked over a year ago but no solution was found:

Essentially, I want to use a Linear Layout with horizontal orientation, but when the child views' total width is greater than the width of the screen, to wrap to the next line/row. In particular, I'm using a Radio Group (with radio buttons determined at runtime) where it would be much better to do this wrapping rather than use vertical orientation. Is there a layout that supports this?
