Android :: Button Fine Text Alignment
Sep 3, 2010
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"
/>

I've put an EditText and Button into a horizontal LinearLayout but unfortunately the button is not aligned with the text field. In the Hierarchy Viewer the text field has a absolute_y of 30 while the button has 32. Please see screenshots of the Hierarchy Viewer here: http://picasaweb.google.com/sj1981/Android
The XML looks like this:...................

I can't seem to find anywhere a way to programmatically change the the alignment of the button.
In the XML it is simply layout_gravity="Center" or something.
How do we do this in the code?
LayoutParams do not seem to cater for this.

why the everything (date, city, weather, temperature, weather icon) under the clock on my beautiful widgets' home widget is shifted down a bit causing everything to fall off of the skin and not align properly? This has happened to all the skins / icons combinations I have tried. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, but alas the problem still remains.

In my application users take photos with an Activity that implements SurfaceHolder.Callback. The uri.toString() is then passed as an extra to a subsequent Activity that displays the image. All fine, except for in Android 1.6 the jpgs on the sdcard have a strange noise when looking at them through mac finder or win explorer after mounting the sdcard. The images have purple and yellow stripes on their upper half. Fine on camera gallery.
Here's some relevant code.

I know my original post (at http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa..., I could not find a way to perform a reply, maybe it's too old) is not sexy, but I'm now facing that problem in many situations. Let me please rephrase what I attempt to do, and what my problem is.
I have a RelativeLayout made of three widgets (named 1, 2 and 3 on the illustrations below): one attached to its parent left border (labelled 1), one to its parent right border (labelled 2) and the third (labelled 3) inserted between the 2 previous ones (its left border is attached to the first widget right border, and its right border is attached to the second widget left border). The third widget (the middle/central one laballed "3") is far taller than the two others, and I would like the first and second items (1 and 2) to be vertically centered with the middle widget.
I have resorted to the "android:layout_centerVertical" attribute for both the first and second widget, but I do not get the expected result. See at the bottom the various layouts I'm mentionning. Could someone please help me, and tell me whether what I intend to do is feasible, and how? Thank you for your time.
Layout with no "android:layout_centerVertical" specified: ------- |1|3|2| --|3|-- |3| ---
Layout with "android:layout_centerVertical" set to "true":
--- |3| |3| |3| ------- |1| |2| --- ---
What I'd like: --- --|3|-- |1|3|2| --|3|-- ---

I have a vertical LinearLayout that contains a custom View that I've defined in my app and and a TextView. I'd like my custom View to be aligned on the top of the screen and the TextView to be aligned at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, no matter what changes I make to the attributes of the XML file, my custom View always seems to be centered vertically when I run the emulator. The xml is like the following:
<LinearLayout.............

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.

Re-wording per previous request... I am dynamically adding TableLayouts at runtime. A view rundown looks like this... LinearLayout->ScrollView->TableLayout->Loop creating TableLayouts and TableRows at runtime. So basically I am looping and adding the following:
CODE:.........
Now everything gets added correctly, looks correct and scrolls correctly. However I am attempting to create an onTouch event which changes the background on the touched dynamically created TableLayout. Inside the onTouch for each dynamically created TableLayout I have a onTouch event that when called does the following:
CODE:..................
Whenever it calls the setBackgroundColor it messes up the alignment of every one of the dynamically created TableLayouts and makes them look like this:
LeftMiddleRight
Bottom
The entire code follows. I hope this is clear now.
CODE:.............
I have tried everything I can think of to keep it from doing this but so far I am unable to explain why or how to correct it. As long as I do not call the setBackgroundColor inside the onTouch everything scrolls and aligns as expected.

I have developed an application which en-composes list views and posted that .apk file in my htc device, the design and alignment everything works fine,but the problem When i am testing in various devices such as Morotolo Droid,Nexus Devices the alignment of Listviews goes wrong, so i planned to use the Layout folder as layout-hdpi,layout-ldpi, and layout-mdpi, for that i changed my manifest file as
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true" android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true" />

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.

Is there a way to create Buttons that contain both an Image and Text (image on top text below or image left and text right)? And how can this be done within a xml layout file? For example, the application 'Pkt Auctions eBay' (see Android Market) has these type of buttons.So far I have tried and googled all over and found nothing on the matter. Help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ive just started fooling around with programming my Motorola Droid. I'm programmatic ally laying out an interface such that the text contained in my Button is sized at layout time to fit the button.My questions are:
(1) I know the pixel size of the button, what is the best way to set the text size to fit the button size?
(2) I can't seem to get it to center.I've tried a Gravity of 11 and that helps, but ist still not right.How do I get my text to center itself properly horizontally and vertically in the button?

How can i rotate a view and keep it like that. I have tried the Animation method discuss in the following discussion thread.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/threa...
this works fine for the animation, but it does not handle the key press events itself.my requirement is simple, I need to show a text on a button upside down. Somewhat as if the parent view is drawn landscape and button is portrait.

I have...
PNG file for Background
PNG file for Icon (drawableTop)
Text I want to put underneath this Button
It's similar to a Menu Icon. How to do that? I only found following ways. Both of them arent very nice:
Make two Buttons, one for Text one for the Picture
The Background PNG File needs a transparent area at the bottom in the size of the text.
