I do not know the difference between these two attributes and for the height also. Take a TextView for example, what would happen if I set its layout_width to wrap_content and set its width to 50 dip?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a layout xml file named my_layout.xml, in which the root view's layout_width and layout_height has been specified as 200px.

What would be the real width/height of my_layout?
I use Layout_width="fill_parent" and Layout_height="wrap content". If an image is bigger than the ImageView, it will be downscaled perfectly.
However, I never got it working to upscale smaller images. I tried any combination of ScaleType and "AdjustViewBounds": it always stays in its own size in the middle of the image view. Here is the code...
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/LinearLayout02"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/content_bg"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="1px">
<ImageView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="@drawable/test"
android:id="@+id/ImageViewTest"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="center"></ImageView>
</LinearLayout>
How can the xml attribute layout_width="wrap_content" be set in code? Don't know where this is buried in the docs...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Gallery with a set of images that was downloaded at run time.I followed the example here:http://www.anddev.org/a_androidwidgetgallery_-_example-t332.html but instead of using i.setImageResource(this.myImageIds[position]);I used i.setImageBitmap(bitmaps.get(position));This doesn't fill the entire width of the screen, only as much as the width specified here:i.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(150, 150)); When I increase this number, the item scales with it instead of showing more images per the example. I've even tried to scale the images before adding them to the set. Not sure what I'm missing, or where other examples of this might be. Any help would be great.

I think the answer to this question is probably so simple, but I'm struggling....
I have a TableLayout with multiple columns. I want the last column to be of a fixed width, but I want to define that width to just be able to hold the widest possible string from my program. i.e. it is always wide enough to contain "THIS STRING" without wrapping, or wasting any space.
I would like to do this as I have these TableLayouts within a ListView, so it looks very poor when the last column is of variable widths.
I have tried obtaining the string width, even going so far as to put it into a TextView, call getTextSize() then setWidth() on all appropriate TextViews. The problem I hit there is that gettextSize() returns pixels, but setWidth uses ScaledPixels.
I'm sure there is a really simple solution. Can anyone help?

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to change width of a SeekBar? Below is a TableRow with two items in it, a Button and a SeekBar. How can the SeekBar be made to extend its right side to fill in the remaining width of the TableRow? Currently I have only been able to control the SeekBar width by setting it's android:layout_width attribute. Is there a way to have the LayoutManager do this automatically or can it be done programmatically? It is especially noticeable when the Orientation is changed from vertical to horizontal and the SeekBar remain stuck way over there on the left with available real estate on its right.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn my app I am displaying a table where the individual cells are editable text fields (i.e. EditText objects). I am currently struggling calculating appropriate widths for these.
If I set the width to be as many "Ems" as the displayed text has characters, my fields are much to wide by about a factor of 2 and the table looks ugly and wastes lots of precious screen space. Setting the width in "Ems" is essentially like assuming the worst case, i.e. the width of a string under the assumption that it contains only the broadest characters in a font, usually 'M' (hence the name of the method), 'm', 'W', or '_'). But on average strings contain narrower characters and so most of these fields are half empty and much too wide for their actual content. I am thus desperately seeking a way to calculate a better fitting width, not that worst case width.
The "normal" way to do this in Java (in AWT or Swing at least) is to asks a widget's current Font (actually a Font's FontMetrics), to calculate and return the width that will be necessary to display a given string in pixels. But how does one obtain a TextView's Font? I haven't found any method to obtain a (Text)View's font and/or calculate a more appropriate width given the actual content of a cell's text string. How does one do that in Android?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a list that contains elements not necessarily occupying the entire width of the screen, but even if using android:layout_width="wrap_content" on my elements, they always behave as if their width value were set to "fill_parent" instead. If I set a fixed value for the width, e.g. "100px", that value is indeed used, but I just can't get wrap_content to work.
Example simple list item:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#707"> <TextView android:id="@+id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:background="#770" android:text="Text1" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/text2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_below="@id/ text1"
android:background="#077" android:text="Text2" /> </RelativeLayout>
What am I missing here? How do I accomplish a list item with wrap_content behaviour, i.e., where the width of each RelativeLayout is adapted to the length of the strings in the contained text views?
