Android : Create A Proportional Layout?

Aug 8, 2010

I'm trying create a scaling layout for an Android application. The whole screen should contain two areas. The top 3/4 of the screen should be a MapView showing a certain area. The remaining quarter of the screen should contain some textual information to certain places shown on the map.

So now I'm wondering what is the best practice to archive this layout the 3:1 ratio of the screen partition? Is there a way to set this ratio in the layout xml file or do I have to calculate and set it manually by code in the corresponding activity?

Android :: Way To Create Proportional Views?

Jun 29, 2010

I want to create a full-screen page that looks like this:

---------------------------------------
| -------- --------------------------- |
|| || TextView ||
|| | --------------------------- |
|| Image | ----------------- -------- |
|| View || || ||
|| || TextView || ||
|| || || Image ||
|| || || View ||
| -------- ----------------- | ||
| --------------------------- | ||
|| TextView || ||
| --------------------------- -------- |
---------------------------------------

where each ImageView takes up at most 20% of the parent layout's width.

Primary question: Really...what is the best way to do this? After hours of searching, the best idea I can come up with is to get the screen's width and simply set the views' widths to be a max of 20% of that. However, this intuitively does not seem like a best-practice solution. (Eg. if the application wasn't running in full screen, this solution wouldn't work.) A LinearLayout won't work with the way the page is laid out (appears I have to use a RelativeLayout). And I think it would be preferable to set the views' widths based on the parent view's width (as opposed to the screen's width), but I'm not clear on how to do that either, because at the time that I'm trying to set up the widths of my children views, parentView.getWidth() returns 0. Does anyone have any good, clean solutions for how to create a page as shown above?

Secondary question: Does anyone know how to wrap text around images as shown above? After still more hours of searching, I couldn't find a solution for this; seems like you need to stitch together a couple of TextViews. Is there a better way that I'm missing?

Android :: Android - Layout - How To Create A Header-content Layout

Jan 4, 2010

How do I go about creating the following layout in Android?

I want a "header", that is, a header that stays the same at all times. The only thing that should change is the area below the header.

Think of it as a webpage, where the content-area is where its all happening =)

+--------------------+
| H E A D E R |
+--------------------+
| |
| |
| |
| C O N T E N T |
| |
| |
| |
+--------------------+

Sure, its easy enough to create a LinearLayot, add a View on the top and then another view below that - tada! But what Im after is how you "set up" or design the project so its easy to just change whats in the Content.

What I really would like is to be able to "swipe" (see here) the area and then just "roll in" a new View/thing in the Content-area, but keep the same header.

Android :: Proportional Width Of Elements In LinearLayout

Jun 2, 2010

I have a horizontal LinearLayout and in it I have EditText and Spinner elements. Which attributes I need to adjust so I would get proportional widths: I want EditText to take 3/5 and Spinner - 2/5 of all available width?

My code looks like this:

CODE:.....................

I tried setting android:layout_weight, but somehow it does not look "stable" enough for me - when EditText has no text - everything looks fine, but as soon as I start entering text into it - it starts expanding and Spinner shrinking accordingly...

Android :: Drawing GL Object Proportional To Screen?

Nov 15, 2010

How to draw, say, a rectangle on the screen with it being proportional to the current device?
e.g. a rectangle, centered on the viewport, one pixel smaller than the screen on each border.

I can live with Orthogonal, but would like perspective (basically everything at Z=something should be proportional to the screen, and the upper parts of the elements being distorted by perspective)

I can calculate everything on my own if i know the relation... but i don't have a starting point.

I could experiment and get to a relation myself... i even resorted to that while coding for the Wii, but that's a really bad decision on Android and all the screen ratios/sizes out there...

Android : Create Layout Like The Iphone Weather App

Jul 14, 2010

I am trying to do a layout similar to the one used in iphone for the weather app:
http://www.spirituality.org.za/uploaded_images/MTN-South-Africa-iPhone-Weather-app-719447.jpg

This layout scrolls left/right very smoothly, and only loads the weather as you scroll.

HorizontalScrollView cant be used because it loads everything in memory, so not a good idea. Gallery will be similar to the iphone, but it has many problems when you put ListViews inside it, so also not good.

Is there any other layout like that? or do I have to build my custom layout? In case it must be custom, do you know any site/app/code where they have done something similar?

Android : Create A Layout Using The Xml File And Code Within The Activity?

Jul 9, 2010

I'm trying to create a simple text based game in which I ask a question based on a movie. The list of movie's is in a text file which I've included in res/raw. So basically I want to have a default string, say "Who acted in", followed by the name of the movie. Could I have the first string (along with a submit button etc) in my res/layout/main.xml file, and follow that with the movies name, after I've extracted it from the text file in my activity, or does the layout have to be defined in one place only?

Android : How To Create An ImageView In Java Code Within An Existing Layout

Jun 8, 2010

I'm looking for an easy way for the user to see how many drinks they've had for a BAC calculator.

PICTURE OF THE APP, for reference

On button press, I would like an image to be added to the screen, directly under the spinner and with left alignment. When I press the button again, I want another image to be added to the screen.

So if I pressed the add beer button, a drawable of a beer would appear below the spinner. If I pressed the add beer button again, I want there to be TWO drawables of beers under the spinner, preferably with them being added from the right.

(Also, having them reach their width limit, wrapping around, and starting again on the left, but below a full line, would be AWESOME)

I can't figure out how to do this. I assume adding a ImageView in code to a relative layout (because it needs to be positioned to the right) would be the best route, but if it's possible in xml I'd be more than happy to use that.

Android :: Create A Layout - Multiple Scrollable ExpandableListViews In A Vertical Linearlayout?

May 7, 2010

Any insights/pointers regarding creating a layout like this. I have wasted quite a bit of time on this. I want to create a vertical linearlayout which has multiple ExpandableListViews separated by TextViews.

CODE:.........................

I tried the following approaches but each of them has one shortcoming or the other:

1. Add TextView and ExpandableListViews to a linearlayout. The problem with this approach is that LinearLayout by default is unscrollable.

Adding the LinearLayout to a ScrollableView creates even more issues because ListViews handle their own scrolling behavior.

2. I tried using a single ExpandableListView to model the above layout but the problem is that setGroupIndicator applies to the entire ExpandableListView, not a specific group.

Create A Scrollable List Layout?

Feb 25, 2012

One of my activities receives some data.I want to obtain a layout like the one for the "contacts" app, which has 1 contact on each row and clicking a row you pass to another activity which shows the details.

What do I need to create the "list" layout?

Are those rows simply TextViews or what else?

How do I generate the rows at runtime into the layout?

If it is too long to write down some code, just tell me what I need and I'll check by myself.

Android : Create A Sliding Layout Like The Main Android Menu?

Oct 13, 2010

I need to create an application with 4 view. I need to pass from a view to an other simply by a touch and a move to the left or to the right (no button). The effect I would like is the same that you see when you navigate in the main menu of android when you pass from a page to another.

I have tested the ViewFlipper, but I cannot use it: it seems not to catch the touch event correctly. I don't even know if it is the right component.
